Smakcruiser,
What did you find out?? White smoke is associated with coolant, steam. Blue smoke usually oil. And black indicates rich fuel mixture. Please let us know. Thanks.

no comp#8

You said u didn't have any compression on #8 cylinder. To have no compression at all, there has to be a pretty serious problem. One thing you can do is go to the Jalopnik (h.a.m.b.) forum site and...

Hi,
That discoloration, if that's all it is, isn't your problem. But if there are deep scratches they could be part of the problem. Remember you said that you had no compression on #8 at all and it...

At this point it sounds like a head gasket or a problem with the reciprocating part of #8. Pull the head and check things out. Best case scenario? Bad head gasket leaking to the valley area of the...

With the valve cover off, watch the valve action as someone cranks the engine. If that looks normal, with #8 at TDC on the compression stroke introduce some compressed air into the spark plug hole of...

Brake master cylinder

What is also interesting is that this car has a dual circuit master cylinder on it. Pontiac didn't start using those until 1967 in both Canada and the US. There's been some cobblin' going on!

4 bolt water pump

Engine-ear,
I was referring to those on this thread. I have the original 389 in my Catalina. I had the 4 bolt pump out once for some reason but didn't pay much attention to the impeller.
