I've replaced one rear main seal with the engine put together. After I took out the junk Fel Pro rope seal, I used a Best rope seal. It really wasn't all that hard with the engine on the stand. I...

It was a nice Fall day here in southern Oklahoma and I was off of work today. So I took advantage of that and cleaned some of the Pontiacs up and drove them around town.

I'm 36 and have been here since 2004. Bought my first car, a '74 GTO, at 13 years old in 2001 and still have it.

The pin height will be the same. You would just have to be careful about running much lift if you used the 76 heads as the valve angles do not match up with the valve reliefs in the 428 pistons. I...

I'm not sure if I'm considered a "young guy" at 36 but have been into Pontiacs since I was 13 years old. I bought my 74 GTO for $500 in 2001 when I was 13 and still have it. Then I ended up buying...

If you are talking about the 744 cam, it idles with a very slight loap in a 10:1 433 that I have. I would imagine that it would idle pretty smooth in a 461. It runs well and it produces plenty of...
