I used a ruler and had 5/8" in the middle of the side by laying the ruler flat on top of the bumper and touching car. The rear I did the same by laying the ruler flat on the bumper right under the reverse lights and measured 1" gap.
Hope this helps and if you need more detail feel free.

Very cool!
It was to short and hope someday they have a whole program on the 2nd gen along with the SD.

A bunch of misinformation but cool video nonetheless.

The red 74 at the strip is the car that rwinkles just sold. It won the stock class drags that year. I think 1994 or so. The car went 13.10 or so as I recall!

Default SD carbs vs typical q jet

what is different about an SD carb and a regular pontiac qjet. can a qjet from a 71 455 or 78 400 be made to woke with an SD engine?

i'll let some of the others get into all the differences in the part numbers,but all qjets can be made to work,just depends on what you are willing to put up with.the 78 might be easier because of already having the right type choke,just need to install right jets and rods.BUT it will never look or be right.

mainly the big difference is the part numbers,the SD stuff brings big bucks because of what it is,and what people will pay to restore their SD birds.

I have the correct numbers carb for the car, but due to sitting, it is a little ' stiff' if you will. been soaking it w/ penetrating oil and tranny fluid. for the interim, I am just looking to install a carb and drive. I have some of the later ones w/ electric choke.

I believe they where painted with the engine however years of oil being impregnating into the rubber leaves them looking almost like they weren't.
My one original looked natural rubber but after looking at it in a digital picture you could see shades of blue though out the plug from it being painted.
Hope this helps,
Brew

I'm with Brew on this one. I believe that they would have been painted. I would never restore one that way though. I'm not one for the absolute way the factory did it.


1000 posts and we can't get our own section. The G8 already has a section in with the 2004-2006 GTO's.

What gives?
