Dodger,
Enjoyed reading about your traction problem.  I have a bit smaller tire, 
255-60-15 and when I took it to the drag strip after doing the engine 
work last fall things got pretty hairy the first time I tried to leave 
the line.  Almost bit the guard rail.  No chance of ever getting them to 
hook up.  I'd like to change my 4.30 rear gears to something a bit more 
streetable like 3.55's or 3.73's before next summer.  Any one care to 
swap me?  I can't remember which pumpkin I have right now and the car is 
3 hours away but I'll get it checked out.
