I've got A 83 firebird v8 base Manual trans. T tops. power nothing. it's A factory heater car. It weighs 3199 full of gas. So with me its 3450,ish. Anyway, I have 235 60 15s. (grandprix) and it locks up every time, under hard braking. My Questions are my tires too narrow? Just bad tires? Is there A size that prevents lock up? Not sure when or if these cars ever got ABS. but I do not have ABS.
@EssMotorsports5 күн бұрын
Brakes will generally overpower tires everytime. But wider tires will help. Could be a brake proportioning issue where the rears are locking up first

You are wrong about the vent hose and connection. All interior mounted batteries require a vent hose. My 2016 2SS came with an AGM battery and it had a vent on it. The vent pipe connection is an elbow and I left mine in the old battery. It fits in a hole on the side of the battery. My Interstate AGM replacement battery has a vent hole on both sides. You have to remove the old vent from the old battery and then install the little elbow that the vent hose hooks to. NO BODY MENTIONS THIS ON ANY VIDEO I HAVE SEEN. Yes, the AGM battery requires a vent hose! I am shocked by the number of wrong answers on this. Good luck finding anyone who even has a clue SO DON'T LOSE THE OLD FITTING!!! MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE IT FROM THE OLD BATTERY or else you can buy a new complete vent hose assembly for $28 from dealer!
