Many engine builders that are not familiar with Pontiac miss the plug that is behind the distributor. One of the things HO Specialties used to sell was oil plugs with a small hole drilled in it to oil the distributor gear. If this plug is left out, you will lose virtually all oil pressure to one bank of lifters, and the other side will be lower than it should. Does one side clatter worse than the other?
