Tom, as you know, sometimes you need a part designed and it's justified by selling a few more. As is the case here. I wound up selling several then pulled the plug on my racing program at the time, so I never pursued making any more. It only makes sense for someone if they are running the BOP belt drive, and need a way to drive a large volume mechanical pump. I think we only made around 10 kits.

The machinist I used was hit pretty hard by covid, I spoke to him today and it sounds like he may have some remaining pieces. If there were to be more interest, it's likely we could produce more.

That is very good news for people who want to go down that path.

Hopefully you can make it happen again.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
