Are we certain that all engines were pre-run at the engine assembly plant?
I'll have to ask my friend who worked at Pontiac Engine Assembly in the early to mid 60s.
I recall him saying one of his jobs was sub assembling the Tri-Power carbs, lines, linkage and setting the entire assy. into a rack where another operator would place it on the engine/intake.
He also swung the mallet to stamp the engine usage code on the front of the block. Said they Engine Unit Number was already stamped before it got to him (at casting plant?)
