TECH THREAD ARCHIVE - Pontiac Street
We've had a few requests here on the forums to start a Tech forum to archive some good informative tech threads that usually have plenty of pictures to help illustrate what's going on. I can't create a separate forum for them but I can start a thread and stick it at the top of this forum with links to different helpful tech threads.
Please reply here to this thread if you find a thread that was started to offer some good tech info and I'll add the tech thread that you've linked to the list. I'll start it off: Pontiac Tri-Power Carburetor Information https://forums.maxperformanceinc.com...d.php?t=838404 SOME HOLLEY TUNING TIPS http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=811891 Boosting Devices and Methods for Street & Strip https://forums.maxperformanceinc.com...d.php?t=830273 How to rebuild a Pontiac V8 http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=623671 PONTIAC Cylinder Head Tech - Early vs Late http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=636024 PONTIAC Cylinder Head Tech - Round-Port vs D-Port http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=636309 Gain clearance for headers to oil filters http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=468168 My Doug's Installation............. http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=550283 Log Exhaust Manifold Tech http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=630943 Comprehensive Tremec TKO tech tips guide for GTO's http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=466818 Comprehensive Tremec TKO tech tips guide for '67-'69 Firebirds http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=466820 Comprehensive Tremec TKO tech tips guide for '70-'81 Firebirds http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=466821 Disc Brake Install Tutorial -PICS - Front Discs for $ ~150.00 http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=593740 Distributor Grease http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=652883 DIY Junkyard Serpentine Belt System http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=690512 New Pontiac 455 engine build video http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=721003 Hurst Wheels - Anatomy http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=748138 Pontiac 9779068 Cam http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=765522 541596 421 Super Duty McKellar #10 Camshaft http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=770467 Oil Pan Mods http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=609229 Valley Pans http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=769185 Measuring for pushrod length http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=771081 Pulled the trigger on a 2004r tranny.

Bart,
We REALLY DO need a "Library" location for Tech Threads somewhere easier to find that looking around like a chicken with his head still tucked under his wing! Every time I look for these for someone, I have to look up your "Threads Started" info. Charles |
BTW, is there one somewhere for redoing bucket seats?

Pontiac 400 engine advice needed...
I am looking for some advice on the engine I am building for my car. First of all I am looking for a a smooth idle (it is a convertible) with as much torque as possible on a budget. I am looking for a recommendation as to which parts I should use from what I have to get a good low to mid range power. This car will be a cruiser not a race car.
The block I am using is a 1973 Pontiac 400 X5 block...stock bore. I have 2 sets of heads... 1)1973 4x heads- I believe 2.11 intake/1.66 exhaust and 98CC 2)1970 11 heads-I believe 1.96 intake/1.66 exhaust And I have 2 intakes 1)Holly Street Dominator single plane 2) Pro Comp Air Gap dual plane I will be using an eldelbrock 4 barrel carb Again I want a smooth idle and a good low to mid response. The best fuel economy possible would be nice too. Which combo should I use? What would be the best cam to use? Thanks for any advise anyone has. |

Hey Guys,
Excellent info and ongoing investigation on the #670 castings, by Rocky Rotella. http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...ight=670+heads |
Bart, is there a process to download ( I did download & print like 15 years ago but...forgot); Downloadable as text (with images), so we can assemble our own Tech Ref books.
