Barney Moravitz in San Antonio used to race Pontiacs in Stock and or SS. He had a company that did oil well tools that hardened them for his machine shop. I think he was even the source for Butler for those way back before we had decent Pontiac forged rods other than Carillo or Crowers. He was older than me so not sure he is still around. I got a set I sent to him. Had them treated(even billed me vs paying up front!) He also had the lighter piston pins that Butler had that fit stock rods/pistons-but they were about 0.001 larger.
