ID these 6.8" rods
Please help:
These are included in a deal that I made for heads. The seller purchased these ten years ago and never installed them. Center to center is 6.80" The fasteners are ARP. Quantity is eight (8). What brand are they? Any information that you can give is appreciated. I would love to trade them for standard length forged rods if anyone has interest. Thanks. |

I wonder if these were sold by Ace @Pacific Performance?? The "T" could be Tomahoc, which I believe he used in his branded products.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong. If so they would be Chinese rods similar to Eagle |

I always thought the cap looked thin relative to an eagle If you weigh them and they are less then an eagle Or a scat I would say that confirms that they atleast Likely are Aces tomahawk s

They are RPM rods. RPM made the rods and cranks for Ace.
Check both the ends. Myself, I would buy some new rods bolts. There was a time when some rod bolts on generic type rods had bolts that said ARP, but were not. |

Wow.
Thanks. They appear to match the rods on the RPM web site exactly. RPM no longer carries this size and they also no longer carry standard length Pontiac rods either. I will weigh them and let you all know what I find. Thanks to this forum too. Steve |

Weight of each rod assembly is 1.742 lbs (27.84oz). or 790g
Eagle rods say 815g so I guess that they are lighter. Anyone want to trade for forged rods of standard Pontiac length? (I-beam or H-beam is ok). |

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.
