I bought my adapter at the Carlisle swap meet. There were bunches of them. I used it on a new Tuff Wheel I bought from BE & A. I put this on my '72 Charger. ‘72 Charger, 5.9 Magnum, Tremec 5 spd., Pro-Touring ‘14 Big Horn, Quad Cab, 4x4, 1500

Original tuff/rimblow wheels adapters are made to this new diameter since they floated on in 70s there is not exist original adapters to 69 and earliers columns, will need an aftermarket one.

I have no problem with the mis-match as having the tuff wheel on over shadows the difference 416 stroker from Nick at Compu-flow. 11.14 in full street trim. Seems like a new best every time out. 11.06 open headers----so far!!
