Default PY Newsletter - Remaining 2012 Events

Performance Years November 2012
TWO REMAINING 2012 EVENTS

The weather has been giving some of us in the North-East a bit of trouble recently, so we're looking forward to heading South for a few weeks. Once again this year, Performance Years will be heading to Georgia and Florida for our last 2 events of the year. On November 16 - 18, we'll be at the Moultrie Swap Meet in Moultrie, GA. From there we get to spend Thanksgiving with the welcoming car enthusiasts in Daytona, FL at the Turkey Rod Run. We have a good time at these two events every year and expect this year to be the same. We hope lots of you stop by and visit with us at these events.

** Since this is one of our longer trips of the season, we will be carrying a lighter load of stocked parts. To ensure availability, please call ahead and place a pickup order by Monday, November 12th. We will deliver your order at either show.


MOULTRIE SWAP MEET - November 16-18, 2012
Spaces: D169-173; Moultrie, GA

TURKEY ROD RUN - November 22-25, 2012
Spaces: Yellow 1490-1494; Daytona, FL

Wild About Cars: What about the sequence number stamped on the front of the block?

Carl Papke: The sequence number on the front of the block was good if everything was perfect. If something was wrong, it was just out of line. They had different places on the frames that they would stamp. There was a guy that would stamp a sequence number on the driver's side rear frame rail. Well maybe that frame had gotten mixed up in the frame turnover and was bent. They would change the frame on that car.

It was not an unusual thing to see two guys changing a frame. I mean, it wasn't an everyday thing, but it wasn't unusual either. Naturally them numbers aren't going to match.

This numbers-matching on a motor doesn't mean a whole lot to me, because I worked in a plant and I saw how stuff was coming out. When you build eighty-one cars an hour for eight hours a shift - without a calculator I can't tell you how many that is - but I can tell you one thing, if the guy went out and had three beers for noon and he come back and he miss-stamps something, chances are he didn't care enough about it right then to re-stamp it. Chances are the inspector wasn't looking for the stamp either. He wasn't looking to see if the stamp was right. He was looking to see if this was put on right, if that bolt was tight. He didn't care primarily about them numbers.

I tell you one thing, in the factory you couldn't... CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL ARTICLE

About Us

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.
