I found out after owning the car for a couple years that there was a dry rotted vacuum hose on the carb that was causing the poor idle. Don't know why I never noticed it before then. I can't remember if it was for the choke pull-off, or something else. It idled like a champ after I put a new piece of hose on.

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.
