No, John, I don't. Wasn't it still Drag Link (or some such name) back then?

I had no problem running 4 1/8" pistons in my blown alky mini-puller, using a '67 400 block honed to 4.125". Turned 8,300 RPM on most runs. I heard a lot of "Didn't know Pontiac made a 401".

Why I'm selling the Buick:
I'm "upgrading" to a nine year newer PONTIAC. It's a POCI national first-place restoration of a 1926 2-door sedan- built the same year Jim Wangers was born!

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.
