First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Todd, I have all of the literature and parts books that are available. I'm not convinced that any of the literature is necessarily correct. The fact that your car had a pair of JCs with the disc brakes is what I am more inclined to believe, however, you said it only had two of them on it. How do you know those are the original wheels? If it can be proven that they are original, them I'm convinced that is correct. Thanks Old Joe In a message dated 10/5/2009 5:36:30 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Joe, JA wheels were only used on A bodies, never on Firebird. I have a 68 Firebird that was originally equipped with power discs and it had two of it's original JC wheels when I got the car. I've also owned a very low mileage 68 GTO that had all five of it's original JAs. I'm pretty sure the 68 shop manual shows JCs for the Firebird (with disc brakes), but I don't have my copy in front of me. I'll check it out tonight and send it to you if I can find it. Todd. Subject: One more time.. JA vs JC Rally II Wheels From: <[email protected]> Date: Sun, 4 Oct 2009 16:55:26 EDT Okay, This question has been asked a number of times, but I have yet to draw a final conclusion, so I'm going to see if anyone can offer definitive evidence as to the correct rally II wheel for a 68 firebird 400 with disc brakes. I have a set of JAs and a set of JCs. I need to get my redlines mounted and I want to use the correct set of wheels. Every time I see answers on this, they refer to other sites that show the wheel listings. Well, I've seen several sites and literature that contradict each other. So, the only way I believe this can be confirmed is if someone on this list has a car with the original set of rally wheels on it that came with disc brakes. It seems pretty rare to find a vehicle that has the original wheels and came with disc brakes. So, if anyone of you can positively verify this. I would really like to hear from you. Thanks a bunch Old Joe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submissions to Firebird-L: <[email protected]> Unsubscribe from Firebird-L: <[email protected]> Help: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/firebird/Firebird-L.html> Classifieds: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/ubb/> Owner Pictures: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/show/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submissions to Firebird-L: <[email protected]> Unsubscribe from Firebird-L: <[email protected]> Help: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/firebird/Firebird-L.html> Classifieds: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/ubb/> Owner Pictures: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/show/>
