I am surprised with your collection you do not have a lift.

The low ceiling in my garage really isn’t right for a lift unfortunately.

My property isn’t spacious enough for a separate shop building so I have to do without, I really like my neighborhood and house so not interested in moving to acquire more shop space.

Removed the drivers side pipe and returned to the shop for a little welding, car is now back together and serviced so next time I’m there we’ll install the O2 sensor, evaluate the air/fuel mixture and go from there. From looking down the manifold end of the pipe and seeing black soot it’s definitely running on the rich side, R. C. confirmed that by just smelling the exhaust as I left his shop.

Took the ’70 Formula 400 out for its first drive with the rebuilt RAIII engine along with Dan driving his newly acquired 428 ’69 Catalina. Both did great in the 95 degree weather.

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.
