Got it all buttoned up yesterday. Tranny kickdown, a good return spring. The Qjet was the icing on the cake, now the car pulls real hard, big difference in mid-range and top end. Again, thanks...

Just as a note, most Pontiac engines used a 160 degree stat until emmissions became an issue. Also how often do we change our oil. I do mine at least twice a year and that adds up to about a 500...
