I have a stock one with a 4 speed. These cars were tested back in 1974 running in the 15.70's at 88. As I started to just do some simple tuning to it, it responded nicely. The carb was set up so lean from the factory, probably to help with emissions. Changing the curve in the distributor helped a lot. I changed the exhaust, kept the size the same but went with a mandrel bent system that helped and added some gear and the car goes in the upper 14's at over 93mph, best ET of 14.67. Low 15's with the stock gear. Not the fastest car out there but it is entertaining to drive.

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.
