Don't know the exact pressure.. but anything between 30 and 35 psi should be fine...

Check your driver's door tag.

I know on my '77 it's low 20s. I don't run them that low; probably about 26 - 28 psi all the way around.

If they truly are the original tires, don't worry about the pressures. Instead, worry about them failing if you try to drive on 21+ year old rubber.

BTW, you might want to turn off the CAPS LOCK key... :)

Not sure! Usually, 30 psi cold will be fine!
