Funny story about those sprockets. The second Pontiac I ever owned was a 66 Ventura 389. The guy I bought it from lived 2 houses away. I bought the car for $300.00 from the original owner. Started it up backed out the driveway drove home and the cam sprocket shed it's teeth in the driveway and the engine stopped. My father came out the front door and said, Looks like you bought a real lemon there!. It was a yellow car with black interior. That was the only time that car ever let me down for the next 150,000 miles.
