Hopefully, but not likely the engine lived on

Valve covers rusted through, open carb for at least 20 years, or so it looked. Probably not.

I was referring to the OHC 6 which is not there, hoping it still lives in another Cammer somewhere out there

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.
