I'm going to debut it at MCACN in the Full-sized Four Speed class.

This morning I grabbed Scott's Intercomp E-Z Weigh Scales to see what the Catalina weighs. It came in where I was hoping. Not much worse that a 70-72 moderately equipped GTO (auto & AC). The car...

Hi Rex,

No, I've never raced the 72 wagon at the Pure Stock Drags. I did use it to tow my 71 GTO to the Supercar Showdowns way back in 86 or 87. It did get attention there, but again, it was a...

Cammerjeff, I wish I could tell you if the long branch manifolds would fit. Hopefully someone else will chime in here who has tried them on the 71 and newer chassis. I'm guessing no.

Hi Paul,

I'm just curious why you don't use the viton rear main seals that are available. Have you had problems with them?

Thanks,

John, you are right, and I think it was a John Delorean edict too. He liked his Pontiacs low. Look at the literature from the '60s. They almost sat on the ground!

I don't believe my brother has been to Bakers (in Milford). Maybe I can get him to bring his car this year. I haven't been there myself in a couple years.
