I flew out to to washington state to get a 72 nova with a 327 SBC in it. Drove it back to Michigan in 2 days. Around Chicago.. noticed it wouldn't idle at lights without gas. Vacuum gauge was going nuts. I drove it 400 miles home after that. RPMs under 3500. Then it sat for 10 months until I got back on leave. I took it out a few times, spinning it to 6000 RPM a few times.. then tore it down. The #8 intake lifter crapped out. Bent the pushrod, shattered the spring. I drove it 500 miles like this, on 7 cylinders. And rodded the **** out of it to show it off to my brothers.
BTW, the lifter stayed in the bore.

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.
