To be honest, I dont know how fast we where going since at those speeds one looks at the road more then those little foreign gauges. Not sure but know it was over 140 but then again I was waving at people at a garage sale who happened to be watching us rip on by(white blur).
My hair style came from my Dad, so Bob keep your head in the car since those roads over by you are pretty darn bumpy and you might hurt yourself!

dang hyper-milers! stick a single plane, bigger solid cam and holley double pumper on it and you'll soon be wanting for a 55 gallon fuel drum sitting over the shaker hole to keep it fed and happy. of course the smilers per mile go up exponentially.

I'm bringing the white cooler for cold refreshments and hope we can have a PY party some where ? This needs its own thread which I thought about posting but have no clue on location, location, location???????..........

Would be cool to attend that POCI show -- Our next Pontiac show is in June - here in B.C. Canada - no SD's though but a real nice red 73 455 T/A shows up every year .

Hey, see what you can do since it will be the biggest gathering of Pontiac's ever!
Will take some pictures for posting for those that cant make it though. Maybe you could get a couple pictures of that 73 for posting in June? would love to come up north and do the car thing and bank a couple keepers fishing. Now that would be killer!

It was the little white one in the corner that paks two (2) turbos. The only foreign wheels in the house less the quad.

It's Pearl, not White, it's an extra paint option for 1990, but, at about 142 who would notice that?
BTW Duane, It is only 300hp stock, but it will run with the SD's no problem. (I tweaked it)
Did you want another go at it again with a ferin cer?
Maybe you should tune up that L75????
Or, I can run you with the weak/damaged 442 W-30.........Your choice brother.
Just kidding........Bring your car over and we can tune it up over at EvBoCo, you are always welcome, anytime.

Hey, way does this thread have only a four star rating ? whos holding us back from stardom?

D, I think its time to get that rice burner out of the corner and let old Wayne take it for a restock run. You know those little keg like cans that are in the other corner ????

Maybe we should have a tune up your motor party @ Evbo, Co. ? got that brass pole up yet for the Evbo, Co. Girls ?

Hey guys.. It's been a couple years since I've been to this site. It's good to see its the same ol peoople talking cars! I've been working on my house the past couple years and the car hobby has been on hold. I was able to finally drive the SD yesterday for the first time in 2 years. That one trip has me excited for this summer, the house is done and now I'm going to have a great Car show filled summer! I'm going to try to make it to some Pontiac shows this year. Take care Greg

Oh I'd love to do a F.A.S.T. build on that L75,unfortunately
I can't find my wallet to throw at it right now
I'll just have to make do with what we have.............I DID have on bad a** MF Olds 455 two yrs ago,but used it to get the 79.........
If I still had my 68 442 with that 455 i'd run against any of your cars

Norwood,
Did you drive your car yet? I hope that carb will preform decent enough for you to drive aroud a bit. IIRC correctly, it had a bit of a hesitation when the secondaries would start to open.

I have been meaning to send it out for a rebuild and jetting for our altitude, but just keep getting side tracked with other car stuff. I like to have an extra carb ready to go so I can swap out as needed. I had it on my 74 Formula while I had that carb gone through as Jim McGowan at The Quad Shop in Rockford has long turn around, at about 6 months or more even though he will tell you 3 weeks.

Welcome back Greg. Glad you are able to get the car out now.

When you get a chance can you post a few photos of your car? If I remember correctly it has a white custom interior? Hope to see you at some of the Midwest gatherings this season.

I've met you at Bakers a couple times. You gave me a couple Super Duty Polo tee shirts about 3 or 4 years ago (Thanks by the way)...

I'll take some pictures very soon, I'd love to meet up with you guys at any Great Lakes region show. It's going to be a great summer!
