Seems to me I have a plug socket that is 13/16.  It is thinwall. I think I got it at Sears a long time ago.

Summit Racing has them

I keep a dedicated 1/2” deep thin wall socket and breaker bar in my “emergency kit” for use on my 15” ten spoke wheels just in case the wheel needs to come off.
Since I haven’t carried a spare for over 25 years I have a tire sealant kit and small 12v air compressor.
Branda has conical Shelby lug nuts @ $6.5., you will only need 16 if you use McGaurd locks.

I bought the kit with 20 and 4 valve scott drake had them on sale.....I lucked out on the 17x7 wheels they were $272.00 each and  Scott Drake had them on sale for $244.00 each now the sale is off they have jumped to $310.00 each.
 

I am needing a thin wall 13/16 for my new Shelby 10 spokes has those 2 inch pointed lug nuts.
Wanting to keep in my car. would like it to be like a 4 way. I knew a couple of you had the Shelby 10 spokes and wondered what you used. those freaking lug nuts are like 7-8 dollars each at summit now.

I like them one of my best friends mom had a 1978 white with red stripes 302 4 speed Cobra.  She was a hot rodder too probably what got me and him both interested in Hot Rods the next car she got was a red 83 GT I remember it saying BOSS 302 on hood scoop. when it was sold  it got totaled and they bought it back and made it into a dragster.

Discount Tire has always matched, or beat, the price I could get from buying online.

TireRack has a 3% cash back if purchased using paypal right now.

When I bought tires for my 69, I got them from Summit. 235x60/15 Mickey Thompson raised white letter. They are a much better tire than my old favorite, the Radial T/A, but size choice is very limited.
I had a local shop mount and balance for $80 for all four.

Summit had a better price and free shipping.

Ive never had Nitto tires but as far as BFG g-force sport comp 2 tires are concerned they are the ones I liked best that I’ve had on my car. Unfortunately they stopped making them in my size requirements.
My car is set up for staggered tire sizes, I run 205 section up front and 225 in the back, both on 15” Shelby ten spoke wheels. I don’t think Nitto makes them in those sizes.
Tire selection for 15” rims is getting worse as time marches on. These days BFG radial T/A seems to be my only choice, I’m on my second set.

I ordered some BFG G-Force from Summit. I drive year round and they seemed to do good in winter too.
 

I need two 225x45x17 and two 235x45x17 ....been looking at Nitto NT555 or the BF Goodrich G-Force

4-1/2 leaf, reverse eye works great on my 66 fastback with 427 stroker, 17x8 wheels with 245x45 tires

Did anyone ever find any 4.5 reverse eye . I use to buy them at  MustangPlus then later Opentracker was selling them. Then they were all backordered and then none at all.

Be sure the fuel pump interrupt switch has not been triggered. Do they still use those, like the foxbody had? A big pothole or a minor collision could trigger it. Pushing the reset button would get it going again.
As others stated, listed for the pump to run for the prescribed five seconds at startup. If it does not sense pressure in five seconds, it won’t start.

 
I had to relocate mine in the capri I had I could set it off when I took off sometimes.
 

I took my wife for a ride out thru the country today and when I would hit a dip in the road it would bump the middle of the arch on the front fenders. I believe I cut to much coil. I have a new set I could put on. It has 215x55x16 that are 25.3 tall and 8.5 wide the 225x45x17 are 25 tall and 8.9 wide.
the 225x55x16 25.7 tall and 8.9 wide  and the 235x45x17 are 25.3 tall and 9.3 wide.
