Thanks. There is no radio number sticker on it. In my collection of Pontiac stuff I have two old NOS 8 tracks with green LED's. They are aftermarket units that supposedly fit into a second GEN ...

Update on this car. I found a rebuilt carb for $100 (non-turbo) and bought it thinking it would bolt in... it won't. I took the original carb and rebuilt it using a lot of the parts off the rebuilt...

Bought this for the car today. May not be "correct", but correct enough for me. The car has a blank hole, but the wiring is intact. This came out of an 81 Corvette. Restored by an old timey Delco...

We'll agree to disagree. Let me take a wild guess that you own a 301 car. There's nothing wrong with that, and if this engine ran I would make it run well. We can beat the dead horse until it's...

I agree. The red 75 gets me thumbs up every time I drive it. People take pics of it at stoplights. But this car is a plain Jane... by design. I like that about it.

I'm just going to disagree with you here. If this was a 73 T/A, I would agree. Pumping life into an exhausted 301 can be done, but poker aint free. I'll give the next owner the option of bringing it...

I will agree that if you have an engine that the rebuild cost can be done (with connections) for about the same as a crate long blocks. But, and this is a big one, when my mechanic rebuilt my engine...

Just want to clarify that I have two extra Pontiac engines (both 400's) a 73 block/crank only and a full short block out of a 75 big car. I also have the RAIII intake and multiple sets of rebuilt 400...

Thanks for the input. I'll disagree with you on the cost to build a Pontiac engine. Everything, and I mean everything costs 2X what a Chevy engine costs. Do you still need a Pontiac engine... yes....

I'm working on it. The engine in my 75 has 72cc D-port Edelbrock heads and a Performer RPM through RAIII exhaust. The cam is one Butler recommended. I told them the parts I was using and I wanted a...
