I have been putting my new (rebuilt) Pontiac 455 through the paces and have found a problem with periodic bogging/nosing in on heavy acceleration at about 3500 rpm; it has been suggested to me by one shop that my carb's float bowl may be too small (I am using the Rochester Q-jet from my previous Olds 455). I am using an aftermarket mechanical Carter fuel pump, so I think I am getting plenty of juice to the carb. Anyone with suggestions?? Thanks!!

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.
