When I was shopping for my setup, I went in looking at a forged crank. Butler talked me out of it and told me that a cast crank would be just fine if I'm not running any power adders. If you chose to...

Seems like you’re on the right track with lack of crankcase ventilation. If you’re going to keep buying and trying PCV valves, consider the ME Wagner. It’s not cheap, but it will for sure do the...

To bring back a term from earlier in this thread...that '68 needs some massive de-cheesification. Wouldn't take too much to class it up. It's a pretty color combo. Kind of a bummer it was originally...

It was easier for me to smoke test the engine on the stand than in the car, but it worked in the car just fine. I also had a giant gaping hole in the rear main so there was plenty of room for the...

Have you tried UV dye to see where the leak is actually coming from?

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.
