I didn’t realize til after the fact that those weren’t for the pd 77-78 CB’s. I can just run the older style one’s on my 78’ but some say they are easier to tune and some say they are more difficult. @newman’s are the old style and him and @focusinprogress didn’t have issues tuning it but Nick had issues with his 75? I may still get a set if I decide what the heck I wanna do. ---
