Restarting my stalled SD 455 FORMULA Restoration
I'm getting ready to restart the stalled restoration of my 1974 SD 455 Formula. I have decided to "dig deep" and hire a professional to complete the restoration.
So I will be asking for help & encouragement & will post pictures. Wish me luck!

Heres how it looked in 1995 when we brought it and four other old cars to Florida. I drove the UHAUL my buddy drove the SD.

They were stamped with the PN in black ink on the cylinder, NOS units may have been etched with the number. 1997432 is the SD number.

Got question, I'm starting to put together a parts order.
Pre-heater shroud to air cleaner duct (hose), should it be black vs silver, & is a screw type clamp or a crimp type clamp correct for a 74? Both are shown in the AMES catalog.

Black paper (of some sort) wrapped inside and out of an aluminum flexible core. I don't think any clamps were used on it.

In case you're wondering, my restore guy has requested pictures of any loose parts so he can give a better estimate or time & $$.

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.
