I believe that was 2004.
Another good one has left us.
What heads are on the 327 now? Valve clearance is greatly dependent on valve lift. It has been my experience that 2.02 intake valves contribute...
Remember that Chevrolet had two pumps that looked alike but were meant to turn in opposite directions. Make sure that you have the correct one. Pete
305 heads never came with 2.02 intakes. 2.02 valves and 3.785 bores do not work well together. The 1.84 intakes and hardened exhaust valve seats...
No monza in 1974. Comp's 268 cam is a good all around camshaft.
The timing light doesn't show you a thing if you don't know that timing marks are correct. Chevrolet was famous for using different marks on...
I've got a couple of home made ones. One you pound on and the other you pull the bearing in. Both work without any problems. Make your own and...

My paint adviser says "NO".
I think a couple (maybe) of new guys with less than a hundred posts are just having a little fun. Pete
I don't think anyone here is suggesting you put the rear end in out of square. Pete
Let me start out by saying " I don't know much about Pontiacs. Some engines come stock with the pistons slightly above the block. If you can...
According to KOAM tv, south-west Missouri is becoming a hot spot. Ryan, you have made the right call. Kind of a " live to fight another day"...
They can but I think that most people that run them pay more attention to detail . Pete
