Son of Wheelspin: The Next Chapter
I'm trying to get more active on this forum to build my knowledge and ability to take care of the mighty T/A tribute that Wheelspin (aka Dad) has passed to me. I'm really enjoying the car and having to reacquaint myself with doing adjustments on this 45+ year old beast. Any feedback that folks can give me on maximizing the performance on this car would really be appreciated.
I look forward to everyone's feedback along with meeting people this summer at the POCI convention in Texas this July. Here's a few pics of the car since its' relocation from California to Oklahoma. Russ Iden 72 T/A Tribute/462 Last edited by freebird461; 02-28-2017 at 12:40 PM. |

I'd like to think that we will have a Pontiac event in Tulsa this year...
Doesn't seem likely though, dad gum attendance, for several years was just too thin...

Beautiful car and you're one lucky SOB! You need some rubber on those rear quarters!

Tip of the day: dont mess with perfection.
Leave it be until something breaks, until then keep it in top condition. Want to maximize performance? Let pops drive.

Thanks WheelSpin. Can't ever top you
b-man, I got my mad driving skills from WheelSpin so it's like him driving when I'm behind the wheel. Really GTOTEX? At least I'll take the picture with my tender on the car! LOL  Thanks OCDMGTO. I'm amazed at all the details that never pass WheelSpin's eye. I even got a tip the other night from him on a PM issue. Great to have tech support on speed dial. What cruises do you go to 77 TRASHCAN? Love to see your ride & show you mine. Russ Iden '72 TA Tribute/461, T400, 3.08 |

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.
