well this morning i hooked everything up and hit the starter it cranked for 1seconed and fired right up, i couldn’t believe it, started to smoke from the paint and a small trans oil leak no big deal, so i pushed it up to 2500rpm, i still couldn’t believe it turned right on, i didn’t even have to move the distributor any, after 10mins i did the dumbest thing in my life, for some reason i had left the radiator cap on and in all the excitement i unscrewed the dam thing, all the hot water came out all over my shirt my hand, so i proceeded to rip my shirt off stop the engine and run into the house, i swear i still have no idea why i did that, been around motors my whole life, this is around the 13th motor i rebuilt, now after 4 codeine pills and 4beers im able to laugh at my mistake, i just wasn’t thinking, i think the motor turning right on just blew my mind, most of the time i always had to mess with the timing, mess with the carb....
anyway im really happy, hopefully these first degree burns will go away in a few more hours, (im typing with one hand now) lol, i swear its always the simple little things that gets me every time.... luckily no one seen my mistake but some lawn cutting guy a few doors down lol, that must have been a site, me ripping off my shirt an screaming in a big cloud of smoke ahhhaahha I wasn’t even going to post this story due to my macho man ways but what the hell lol. http://gto.1colony.com/ |

Joe,
I know the feeling, and I hope you aren't burned too bad. We all do dumb things in the heat of passion, especially when it comes to cars! I think I speak for all who visit here, when I say, well done, you deserve that beer!! If it has ti*s or tires, it's gonna cost ya!

I can see the smile on your face from here. Good job.
 My Rig's a little old, but that don't mean she's slow.

ummm, went through my 5gals of gas, and i didn’t go anywhere but the end of my driveway, lol, i guess it ran it for about 40mins all together, 20 mins at 2000 rpms, time to get some more gas for the beast hehehe
also its confirmed, all my neighbors hate me now!! some guy 4 doors up the street came down today(a doctor type), asked me if it was necessary for that to be so loud, i told him that its all stock, so its necessary. then i started to rev it up some more, he turned around and left.... it cant be any worst then his freaking leaf blower, hahahaha' maybe we will see some moving signs going up around my house, and some Pontiac people can move in,,, woohoo!!! http://gto.1colony.com/ |

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.
