Glad to hear it's 389 Paul. For some reason it didn't look right.... probably because of the 2bbl and the intake. Sorry I made you nervous but I had to ask.

Has to be a 389 out of a full size Pontiac... Charles and I say so too. BTW... my dad's 64 Star Chief had a 389 with a 2bbl Carter.

Looks good Paul. It's a balmy 34* in Chicago today. Perfect weather for cruising around with the top down.

Thanks Bill. I saw your car this weekend at MCACN. Looked great.

Just curious as to why? The stamp on the distributed pad on the block is GTO and the heads are GTO. What makes you feel it's from a different car?

It appears that when someone put the GTO 389 in the car, for whatever reason they put an intake and carb from another Pontiac on it.
