They work fine, just don’t change the fronts as Smitty says.  Order RED led bulbs to go behind the red lenses and I got 44 led 1157’s on ebay.  They ship from China so be patient but cost less than $10. for 2.  I am using 36 red LED to replace the 1156’s.

The engine is a 2.3L Pinto with  exhaust from the original builder York Sports of Ashland  Va.
I enjoy the Automatic, with the tight cockpit I can’t imagine how the 4 speed folks can work the clutch.
They saw wife and I at local cruise in and made me an offer my ego couldn’t refuse.

They are standard offset from MG Magic.  I found a beautiful set on ebay with knock-offs for a close  price.  But being retired I kept up with the simplicity theme and went with MG Magic wheels.
I’m real happy with them, MG centers are from Moss.  We ground off the posts and used industrial auto body cement to attach them to the spinners.
