A simple trick for measuring the correct gauge in 1/64 scale is that a US dime should fit exactly between the backside of the wheels.  Just touching, not tight.

I have figured out what is wrong with my brain!  On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

If the other driver set is OK, then measure that set. My 303 measures .712 -.722 to the backside of the wheels on both driver sets, about 23/32" (.718").
