Anyone know any good books on building a blown Pontiac motor?
Every time I see one,I start thinking...
What the hell am I waiting for.
I have no other obligations.
If I don't build one now,I'll never build one. ::) ::) ::)

  I dont know how to. But man it should would be cool. The sound and the speed. As you can tell it left an impression on me.

  Hey thanks for asking. It is running better now. This guy really knows his stuff. He didnt take it out for a spin and tune it due to my fuel line that feeds the carb was leaking(just happened) and didnt want to risk catching it on fire. So for doing everything by ear and using the old spark plugs he did a really good job. Just a turn of the key and it starts right up. It never did that. I used to have to bring the rpms up and set there for a while but it idles nicely now. Took it for a spin and it runs and sounds so much healthier. Needs some minor adjustments but over all good. No more over heating either. So thats good. I think after I change the spark plugs I'll take her out again and go from there. Going to try one thing at a time so I know whats happening.
