Had success installing my new cam bearings, I was pretty intimidated about it for a couple days before hand tho. Couldn't believe the cam went in and spun great. Got one for the win column finally.
Went ahead and laid a head on it to check pushrod length with the new rockers. All looked ok there, but I really want to upgrade to 3/8 pr but I think that will have to wait. I have .116 5/16 but think it needs fatter ones. John |

I sat down inside my 67 GTO and looked at the wiring mess with the intentions of getting it straightened out. Dragged out the wiring diagram, looked back at the mess. Got up and went into the house to watch football.

Resealed the window in the Ventura yesterday. The urethane I used to set the rear window a while back didn't hold and I didn't have time to fix it before we left. It squeaked the whole time on our road trip! I write off the failure to user error. We were in a rush and I couldn't find any primer. I also didn't have the proper caulking gun so it was really hard to apply.
This time we used the old school 5/16" roll of butyl Window Weld. It put the window at the perfect height and the trim sits nicely. A storm came though today and it looks like our install was a success. We also sealed up the tail light housings with some 3m strip-calk. So far so good!

We had more nice weather on Saturday, so I cleaned all four vehicles, then took the LeMans for a cruise. Stopped downtown for a photo opp.

Had beautiful weather in DFW yesterday and I finally felt confident enough in the carb settings to give the wife some wheel time. She enjoyed almost 100 miles of mixed city and highway driving, but commented that she was only going 30 to 35 sometimes so I had to point out that the tach and the speedo are on opposite sides from her BMW.
 Everything went smooth until it was time to turn the headlights on and she had to turn the high beams off. The left foot needed a little training. But glad she enjoyed it and got her comfort level back with some old school driving.

We just had that discussion on the dimmer switch as I was installing the carpet. She’d forgotten about that!

Carted the Binford 3000 pressure washer out the garage and blasted the rear bumper brackets, tail light lens housings, and inside of bumper and valance. Happy to find all are in great shape. The bumper has a significant ding but the plating is in better shape than the "near NOS" replacement I bought many years ago. Might be worth trying to knock the dent out but I'd want a hydraulic press. Options are good.

This bought went the full twelve rounds... I've fought tougher fights, but I don't remember when.

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.
