I would say stay in the 9.0-9.5 SCR range, can easily run 91, 89 in most cases, even if quality slips. But I would run 91 all the time, even at lower SCRs, the gas is just plain better quality.

Unfortunately, a 70 is different than the 64-67s, and not a good example.

I run 275/40s all around on my 70, with 18x9.5 wheels, but have aftermarket upper control arms. Also not a good example.

So tread width and section width are 2 diff things, and you need to take both into account.

Is there a witness mark in the hole? I wonder if it's actually hitting the body/fulcrum area and not the hole? Maybe the pushrod is too long for the PRW rockers?

You can leave the yellow wire alone, it won't hurt anything, like mentioned, it applies a full 12v during cranking only.
