My stall converter is 2200 rpm, but I don’t have a Governor as far as I know. The NVU gauges track your top speed and rpm high marks automatically. You can also set shift points if you want.

You should have one, it controls what rpm the 2004R shifts at. My stock one was too low, another one we tried was better but still low. Tried a GrandNational gov that was too high. Ended up modifying the original one to get desired 5000ish wot shift points.

Well, this is an Art Carr 2004r. It's 3 years old, has maybe 1500 miles on it. I'd hate to think it needs work, but the warranty did just expire so that would figure.
Going back to the shop this week, so hopefully that will get addressed. |

eBay ad said 122k by previous owner, then the restoration began...motor, tranny, suspension, interior, gauges, AC, PS, brakes, etc. I bought the car with 6500 on the odometer in 2015, but the new gauges were set at 2222 by the PO when he got them in 2010. I ran the mileage up to 11k, so I've put less than 5k miles on it, then I upgraded the motor, trans (2004r), rear end (post 3.55), new AC unit, entire new top end, Kaufmann heads, Crower Cam, Performer intake, Holley 750, new radiator w/dual 11" fans, NVU gauges, Retrosound #2 radio, the list is pretty long. My point is, I think the only thing original is the block, the chassis, sheet metal and interior (but upgraded to red). I haven't decided where to set the odometer yet since I've only put 188 miles on it since the gauges went in last week. I know my pile of receipts ia about 18" thick though.... |

Sigh...."Jim, your Bird will be ready to pickup in an hour..." T minus 30 minutes to go now...it's killing me! 1 year, and 17 days in the shop (around a heart transplant and multiple parts delays).
Taking my USB stick to put in the radio and blasting "Highway Star" by Deep Purple right off the bat...on the way to the gas station. LOL |

It turned out beautiful. There can't have been too many made with that color combo. It's striking.

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.
