Nice!
You need a set of small slicks to throw on at the track and get some great ET's! Looks like 11.5x ET's possible.

John, I had brand new Hoosier 28x9s on for those runs. I pitted in grass and dirt, maybe they weren't clean enough after the burnout box

Constantly blown away by generosity in the Pontiac community.
I posted on my ‘55-56 Facebook site today, which I’ve found most excellent at sourcing parts, looking for the end piece of my gearshift lever. The black plastic/rubber barrel shaped piece is missing off mine. Someone said “good luck finding one”. Well a member messaged me a picture of one and told me he’d send me the piece, and refuses any payment! Thanks dude!

Went to a newer Cars-n-Coffee in Lisboa. A wide assortment of cars: old Datsuns, Wolseley, many Minis, R5's...
But I was startled to see a bone stock 1979 TA: loaded 403 Y car. Paint is excellent. Owner also has a 76 Dodge camper van and 86 Elky. |

Took the ‘55 to our diner today. Wind had shifted and got smokey outside again.
I’m not saying that my ‘55 handles like a slot car, but definitely a noticeable difference putting the new sway bar bushings in. Clunk going around corners is obviously gone too. One nice thing is I had a low speed rattle up front that I could never track down. It sounded more like a loose bracket or guard. Well, that’s gone now too! Must have been the sway bar.

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.
