Actually, I'm a 301 - 301T'er... owning both a '80 and '81
pace car. And as Milly's told ya, 301 Garage is me.

I'm just getting in from traveling all weekend, I'll verify all that
tomorrow and look for the part numbers.

That's right, they look nearly identical (almost)

While I've seen short lengths on them some times, no.

Lemme ask you first... do you have the Pontiac service manual
for your car ($20 for one of Brett's CDs)?
A no-kidding must for a '81 Turbo car.
So you want pictures of an '81 engine bay... I'll look.

I see.

Ah... might need a bit more to diagnose possibilities.
If your secondaries were that stuck, I'm thinking the rest of the
carb may need attention too.
78w72,
There's no reason your car can't run decent. There are more Turbo
folks than myself, help is available.
Most of my posting has been on TAC, which seems to have somewhat of
a concentration of turbo folks on it. And there is a rather large 301
thread over there that you may find useful as well.
