I've driven my '65 and '67 GTO's 100's of thousands of miles in the past 40+ years with the 4 wheel drum brakes. They work fine for me (street driven cars). The key is to have them in good operating...

The front brakes do about 75-80% of the stopping power on these cars. Drum rear brakes have much better park/emergency brake action. And can be used to stop the car in an emergency. I personally...

I've used stove paint with great results. On my Model T it still looked good after 13 years, and on my '67 GTO I'm just starting to get a little rust after 13 years.

I would throw it on an ocilloscope and look at the ignition pattern. Very possibly an ignition issue that will show up on the screen easily. Why tear an engine down if it's an open wire or bad plug,...

The 670's will work great as long as you run 100 octane fuel (if you have stock flat top pistons). IME, they will detonate just as bad as the 15's. When I ran them on my '67 400, it was ping city....

Bias ply tires are not steel belted, and don't explode and come apart like steel belted radials do. They can blow out, but tend to cause no damage to the car. I've run 45+ year old bias ply tires on...

That was Old Man Taylor. I think he paid less for the entire car when he bought it new in '64. I'm still pissed about it.

Agreed. If you had one of the scarce '67 Ram Air cars, the high price would be justified if it were missing and you needed it for completion. If you just want it for the bling value, forget it. (at...

Warm engine. Throttle blocked open (primaries at least). Ignition and fuel disabled. 5 to 7 revolutions per cylinder. All cyls should be within about 25% of each other or less.

THIS^^^. If it's been sitting that long, it will need all of the above. Not expensive. I did the '61 Chevy and the '66 GTO with parts from Rock Auto. Not expensive.

Have run stock GM points distributors in all my GTO's for the past 45+ years for 100's of thousands of miles without a hiccup. And running them now in the 3 GTO's and the old 'vette. No worries.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
