I like every GTO ever made, including the 2004 to 2006, which were the best performing of all, in every way except visual appeal.

We have two '64 GTO's, both Tri-Power with 434 Whitmore engines,...

Very disappointing. I believe most of us would much prefer an increase in dues rather than a digital magazine. This may be the beginning of the end of POCI. I'm 81 years old and have been a member...

Whenever I restore an AFB, the screws, levers, and rods are bare steel. Can someone post a picture or describe to me what color they were plated when new?

I would like to do them correctly, rather...

Yes, this is the mechanical linkage kit...

Yes, in the '60's, when most of our Pontiac engines were produced, lifters were about $1.00 each. Cams were $25. We installed them and had very few failures, even with high valve spring pressures.

On the driver's side, it helps if you turn the power brake vacuum line up out of the way.

I use the same flexible tool,, and sometimes, a piece of 1/4" rubber vacuum hose about 6" long.

Duplicolor DE1610 is too dark, and, as previously stated, inconsistent.

When Duplicolor bought PlastiKote, they should have stuck withe the PlastiKote 208 formula.

This ‘67 owner showed up at our local car show in September. Note it ran 12.31 in 1968 and held the NHRA record for its class.

It is a beautiful car with very low miles.
