Good find. Just goes to show that there are some "little old lady" low milage cars still out there in 2009.

Still waiting on an update from my mechanic on how the Lemans is doing. I talked to him on Saturday, he said he found a wire loose from the distributor! Boy that'd be nice if that's all it was! I'm going to drive by the shop tomorrow and see how it it.
I ordered one of those Redirad Aux port things today, two of them actually. They've got a discount going on right now, I got a total of 13% off! I also found a couple more mods to add to the Lemans. I'd like it to have a tach, I read through some threads and found that most people weren't happy with the in dash repro tachs due to bad back lighting. So a hood tach is the way to go, plus they look awesome! If I go with the hood tach, I'll add the in dash clock probably. A local GM wrecking yard has a steel repro GTO hood I've got my eyes on too. |

Awesome find on your part, you will LOVE that car when you start driving it. Just a suggestion... but if it turns out not to be the timing gear, replace it anyway and maybe the water pump too. See ya, Scott

I got a update on the Lemans. I think I mentioned before my mechanic found a loose wire going to the distributor. He also did a compression check and it's good, also checked the timing and it's good. It acts like it wants to turn over he says, but keeps back firing up through the carb, and the carb is leaky. He doesn't think it's the cam gear, but it could be a flattened cam lobe? Time will tell, I know if it needs a new cam I'll get a new 4bl intake manifold & carb while I'm at it.

NICE! I still have a soft spot for those cars.
It took me a few minutes to find an old pic of mine. This was one of the last pics I took before I sold it.  Scott

Just a thought...

Car actually backfired so hard that it split the brand new muffler apart. I dropped the tank, replaced the tank and sending unit, replaced the plugs, and it purrs like a kitten now.

Very nice car Jay! I think yours is in better shape than mine but I found mine under similar circumstances with 78K on the clock and in good condition. I've always been a first gen firebird guy but when I scored my Lemans it felt great to have an A-body, and 70 has a one year only front end so it's very unique. Mine is not a Sport though and I noticed yours does not have the "P O N T I A C" emblem on the decklid. Mine is a post car also. Does anybody know about which cars did or did not get that emblem?

I don't know why or why not but that PONTIAC is the largest set of pot metal lettering I have ever seen. I measured them at 19 1/2" wide. Every time I look at them I think they are going to break in front of my eyes.

Did you get that car running and home yet, Jay?
Talked to the body shop today hoping that the hood and hood tach were done... no dice, looks like next weekend (I hope) before I can get some pics up. Scott

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.
