Ok. A wide variety of info going on here. I should have looked at the door sticker before posting.  My late production '10/1982 sticker says: Front and Rear 35 psi with a note that if the tires are hot "raise the pressure by 4 psi."  That is around where I'm running them. To each his/her own.Tongue

Radials showed up around 72 or 73.  Many cars started using them between than and aprox 76.  By 77 most everything used them.      These are not exact dates, but about what I recall.

Thanks Ken..I guess that explains all the different tire pressure readings..I know new cars differ a lot also even on the same brands..untill recently I didn't know you Ken but from what I have read you are no different from the rest of the guys and gals on here..from Corvettes at Carlisle to CFAC I have met great people here and am glad to have had the opportunity to do so.
Thanks all
