This one is mine. I feel like this is a really fair price for a good running OHC 6 and good 2 speed transmission. I sure wish someone would put it to good use, I hate to just let it sit in the corner of my shop.

to quote"Nicely presented engine bay"
I see nothing nice about rusty water blown all over the motor and inside the air cleaner.
Of note is the rare fuel filter with return built in.
My guess is this is a very early 67.

I like the picture of the engine with the Vise Grips on the A/C bracket. Makes me want to plunk down $20,000 for that one. I do like the car, as it is a manual tranny Sprint with A/C! (not for that price though)

[camerjeff]

I agree 20K is a bit much of an asking price, and I also agree with the GTO emblem on the trunk!!!! Why? But an A/C equipped Manual Trans Sprint!!!! That is a rare beast!!!! I have only owned 1 Sprint with A/C, and it was a 66 Auto car with 3.08 gears and was a slug!!! I bet this one is more fun to drive.

[Jeff Hamlin]

And I’ll bet that the fuel line/filter function real efficiently slammed right up against the exhaust like that

never had any problems with mine thats exactly like that.
what does your 66 have?

[Jeff Hamlin]

That's factory?
I would think vapor lock would/could be an issue.


'66 has a decent U turn line and support brace mounted on the carb that keeps the it up and away from the exhaust. I thought the '67's used the same?

[camerjeff]

Jeff & Gary,

The filter and line on my 66 with A/C was about were the 67's is, I don't own the car anymore, but still know were it is, maybe I can get some pic's of it this weekend.

[Jeff Hamlin]

I’m only questioning due to the very limited factory info on these engines.
I have based my configuration on the many early factory engine images and the stuff that was on my car when I took possession. But I'm always looking to get closer to factory whenever some new info appears and applies to my '66.





I’m sure we all have seen many incorrect layouts,
the most notable being the test mule '66 with the “Rubber” line running across the intake to the front of the engine??

I also have an early picture somewhere that shows a solid line but the basic configuration is the same as mine.

I have seen mention of the filter with the return line used on AC cars but think this is for ’67 again can’t confirm 100% but am surprised they would run it so low and along the exhaust.

I also know the filter on mine is correct for OHC but again think it’s a ’67 only thing.
I just like the look over the cheapo filters

Would love to see some more images of such.

[Jeff Hamlin]

Ok started thinking about where I got the B&W image from then remembered it was out of the Jan 1966 SAE report.
This is what helped me determine what would be a correct line layout.





Again I know this isn’t LAW but it sure helped me out.
I still would love to see anything showing a filter/vapor line layout.


I think we should make this another post

[Cammer-6]

Jeff Ive had plenty of 66s that were untouched and the last picture posted above is correct for a non a/c car.
I reproduce all the fuel lines(and have for over 30 yrs) .
A friend who was a Delco engineer of that era told me GM would never use over 12 inches of rubber in the engine bay due to risk of fire,
but when I showed him this set up,he reneged .
FYI the 66 a/c was same as early 67 which has a support bracket around the filter.
The OEM filter was superseded many years ago with a smaller diameter version which I was forced to use.
I simply wrapped the bracket in split fuel line to take up the slack.

I have since acquired some NOS filters that are correct.Olds was the most common application for those.

[camerjeff]

Jeff,

The new owner of my Old 66 send me this pic of the Fuel Filter Housing, I can't say for sure that it is factory as Ionly bought the car in 97, but everything else was stock on the car, and I was the 3rd owner. And it still had an A/C Delco Filter on it. And it is an Aircondition Automatic Car.

[Jeff Hamlin]

Jeff Thanks for the pic this is why I never say never about items with our old Pontiacs.
I have seen some head scratching sh!t over the years but I am amazed that they thought this was a good layout.

I have to say I have never seen this set up.
However after looking closer at the '66 SM Pg 8-3. Fig 8-5. Shows the tank sender with a Fuel & return/vent line but states 8 CYL. ONLY.
The same pic in the 67 SM pg 8-5 fig 8-8 states 8CYL. & SPRINT

Did the '67s (Sprint) use 2 metal lines/pipes front to back?
Again I have never taken notice of this and am amazed I have never seen it before now.

I also looked again and found a pic of the soild fuel line, it was on a CA smog car however the pic is very small.

Maybe Im just reading to much into this but do find this stuff interesting.

filter is not

I still have the lines off an early 67 a/c Sprint I parted.
I also have lines from a 66 a/c Sprint I parted as well.
I may have some of the fuel filter lines made up already.

Later units had the relief in the fuel pump,so all the carb lines including the hard line from pump are different.

Saw this and thought wth...

[Cammer-6]
