The 1958 tripower came with vacuum linkage ONLY. There was a mechanical kit available for the race only carburetors, not the standard carbs.
Engine paint is even worse. 1958 Pontiac engine paint was purchased from a now-defunct mom and pop company in Pontiac, and the records were destroyed by fire. 20 or so years ago, several enthusiasts, including myself, took some samples of original paint from under gaskets, etc. and had a mixing formula done. Don't know where my copy is right now, but if you get no other definative answers, email, and I will try to find it. Can get you a picture if you can wait until after 5 May (construction in shop, cannot get to the show tripowers at this time). Jon. Good carburetion is fuelish hot air.

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.
