It runs! And sounds hungry and mean.
Thanks to all who have been answering my questions helping me get there.
Got the 421 beast in my GP fired up for the first time after the builders run on his test stand. It sounds very loud (no exhaust yet except for the downpipes behind the long branch headers) and looks like it wants to leap out of the car and start running down the steet. I got it warmed up enough to kick in the other two carbs - music to my ears. Got all fluids up level and no leaks. Krautwolf I'm a few weeks behind you in getting mine on the road. Need exhaust system and installation of the guages (question on another thread). 64 catdroptop your color formula is right on - I just dabbed a few places (for now) and color is good. |

God bless you for saving another petro-fed dinosaur. People young and old will surely thank you for bringing this beast back to life in this era of internal combustion confusion. Keep moving forward, A steady strain over time is all it takes.

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.
