I'm from south Louisiana. It's not the heat, it's the stupidity. Present company excepted, of course. Never been to Eunice, but I've been to Fred's lounge in Mamou

The cam we put in is an Ultradyne 223/231. The car is a 4-spd, and we could have gone one step larger, but it's what we had on hand and makes for an excellent pure 455 daily driver.

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.
