1969 Torino
Ron,
not sure how to respond to your post on helping with
the Pontiac motors.. but I spun bearings or threw rod
bolts in most of them.. most were junk yard dogs and all
needed better oiling downstairs.. I did run a sump accumulator
for a while on one that let it live until I thought I was smart enough
to remove it to save weight.. spun the bearings on that one
New motor is the first one with all the good stuff inside, road race
pan, Kaufman block, accumulator etc.. it had an issue with rocker
arms-(engine builder did not get the angles right on a canted valve motor)
Now a shaft system is going in so hopefully it will live and I can start
working on adjusting the suspension
I have 3 old motors and one block that I hope to someday
go thru and fix some things so I can have a spare
thanks,
Panteracer Norcal Bob
