A few Pontiac guys may remember, Skip Fix, Mike Davis, John Snyder, Mike Garblik,even Ray Cox. Most good running Pontiac's were running heads up pro nostalgia. Neal was one of the few guys going after the late model stuff.

Those parts are all in use now in different cars.

Bruce is a good guy.
It's my understanding that the Superchief heads I'm currently running are his old ones. And I think the intake I sold to Ray Cox last year (when I converted to a blower intake) was the original ported Victor intake that Bruce ran with the heads. The Pontiac world is a small world.

Yeah it is. I have the valve covers off those superchief heads on my highport 505. Jim Robertson now races Bruce's old Firebird as his updated '70-'72 Trans Am.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.
