On my 74 super I usually run 35psi all around. I probably have the
fronts a little over-inflated, but I have never noted any abnormal wear
so I just leave it at 35.

I think(I could be mistaken) that the pressures listed on the glovebox
door are for bias-ply tires. All I've ever run is radial tires.
