Unfortunately (for me, anyway) I inadvertently deleted several e-mail
messages including the one asking about wire wheel play. I also deleted
some of the replies to my fuel pump question. Sigh.
Sorry I don't know who asked the wire wheel question but I'll take a
shot at an answer anyway. Based on my own wire wheels, you should feel
very, very little play. In fact, I can't feel any on my car, though
there must be some small amount. Certainly 2-3 degrees is way too much.
As for the splines, they should NOT be saw-tooth shaped but flat on top.

P.S. The fuel pump replies I did manage to save contained additional
recommendations for the pumps suggested in the ones I deleted,
except for the Mallory (I think), so I don't think I lost any
technical information, just the names of some people I'd like to
thank for taking the trouble to reply. Perhaps a summary would
be in order; if anyone else is interested, that is.
