Until we get a neoprene seal made specifically for Pontiacs, the rope remains the best bet. Install as per factory assembly manual and you'll get good service.

I have had good a bad experiences with both. I ran into Pete McCarthy at the drags one time and discussed this with him. It was his opinion that the neoprene didn't seem to give as predictable a result as the rope. When installing the rope seal, you need to go by the factory manual for field repair. It is my belief that the non-asbestos based rope seals are not as easy to install with no leaks as the original factory seals. They all seem to require pre-loading, as described in the factory manuals.

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.
