The band on the chevy lifter is in a differant location,and the plunger sets down lower so you might need a longer push rod.

The main diffrence is the oil band height.On small base circle cams, the band area can drop
below the lifter bore and cause a major oil pressure drop,and on the way up can get caught on lifter bore and shatter the lifter,bore,or both! Don`t go there. Get real Pontiac lifters! |

Punch is right. Do not use the Chevy lifters. I learned the hard way. Get the Crowers that are Pontiac specific.

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.
