Paul do you suggest use of a drill press, milling machine or hand drill on iron heads? And what type cutter works best on iron?

You don’t need to enlarge the pushrod holes on Edelbrock heads correct?

You do on at least the early Edelbrocks since they didn't have any more pushrod clearance than the stockers, and Edelbrock moved things around enough that the tool probably doesn't align correctly.
Very nicely done piece.

I've used a similar tool on SBC iron heads that Summit sells. Works nicely in that application.
It's nice to see this made specifically for the Pontiac. |

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.
