Can you post a picture of the radiator/fan setup?

Hopefully you are not using one of those dual electric fan setups with the shroud about 1" deep. They only use about half the radiator.

Rubber bushings are physically connected to the bushings shells. They actually twist in the shells, so there's no rubber moving against metal. As a result, they don't squeak. Unless they've torn...

You can try an insulating spacer under the sniper to help with that.

It sounds like this is a crank and no start issue after a short heat soak.

That pilot bushing you posted (the smaller diameter one) I believe is for a Chevy. The correct Pontiac bushing diameter should be around 1.378”.
