A lot of the mentioned extra cost items should be built into the price of the item. If a guy walks in off the street, for example, there might...
I wasn't smearing them for just $12. If you read my post it was more to it than that. Besides if it were $12. or $200. there's something to be...
Good advice
Not sure if this is appropriate here, but I just had the worst buying experience from East Coast Chevy in Pennsylvania. They charged me $20. to...
I want to thank everyone for the info. I should have enough resources to find out most everything about these motors at this point. I copied and...
I'm looking for exactly what came on these cars to provide 290, 315 and 317 horsepower. The things that you would expect to be in a shop manual....

What's wrong with a 1957 Pontiac being just a driver? What should it be?

I'd be happy to update, but it won't be quick. The weather has gotten cold, and I don't have a lot of heat in the garage. In addition, my...
Great, really worthwhile responses. Everybody, including me, loves this car. It's just a little different than a 57 Chevy, but has the same...
I've spoken to Pat at Wilcap. A friendly, knowledgeable guy. I would have no problem dealing with them. All of my local buddies agree with you,...
Unfortunately, the local guy makes me nervous. He's been missing from his shop sometimes because he was in jail drunk. A guarantee is great if...
Thanks for the info. I can't decide what to do. Most people say the best thing would be to buy a kit and install a later TH350 or 400. A lot of...
Wasn't a specific answer here. Thanks.
I had asked about using an Olds transmission as a replacement, and I got some excellent response. However, I couldn't come up with the needed...
Thanks again! You're right, of course, nothing is cheap today - my wife proves that to me all of the time. I really wasn't trying to get away...
Thanks for the excellent information. I should have just said that it has a 15 bolt pan gasket. It's not in the car, but the shift sequence...
Positive, it has park position.
I have a 1957 Pontiac with a Stratoflight and the transmission is close to dying. Is a 1956 Olds Jetaway the same trans? I can get a really good...
A 58-60 version of the same trans.
Couldn't find the info at pontiacsafari.com, or anyplace else so far.
I'm having problems with my original 1957 Pontiac Hydra-matic. I was told that some of the later, 58-60 transmissions were better, and that they...
