The first picture was taken by me after restoring my 1969 Firebird. The picture was taken on the seaplane ramp at Coast Guard Air Station Port Angeles WA, in 1990. You can see an H-65 Helicopter in the background, and a member of the aircrew is visible as they are preparing to go flying. The next couple pictures show what I did to my car during the overhaul process. I'm in the second and fourth picture. Keith (in third picture) gets credit for taking the second and third pictures. The last picture is the first Poncho engine I installed in my car after removing the 283 engine pictured in the first post of this thread. The first Poncho installed is a 428 I purchased from a wrecking yard near Seattle WA for $500.

About Us

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.
