    tire rubbing issue?

    I'm concerned about my new rear tires rubbing the fender. I had them rolled, so there wont be any slicing from a lip, but id still like opinions on what could go wrong with this situation. I'd like to have these wide tires, but may have to exchange these for 245/50ZR16s instead. Currently, I...

    How do these fittings work?

    I put an AOD in my '66 Fastback and have a leak at the cooling line fitting. I am not familiar with this type of connection, and have no idea what the black plastic part does. I thought the lower line was the radiator return line. Any help is appreciated.
