I think I may call him tomorrow that’s the only person I was thinking it could be. Everything on his website is VW.

Been wondering this, if I would change the rear lowering block to a 1.5” on left rear and a 2” on right rear will it change the rear roll center? If so will it move roll center closer to the short block or taller block ? By the way are blocks are on top of springs and rear sits on them, so short blo...

No, not an EGR intake. Some aftermarket VPs are just a flat sheet of alum, with NO baffling for the PCV valve, which fits in the VP. If you use one of these, expect heavy oil consumption. The elongated hole at the front of the intake is for access to the PCV in the VP. You might be better off buyin...

This is the second and brand new distributor put in.

Sorry, not to mean but that does not mean much nowadays.

Pull distributor and have phasing and timing curve checked.

Guys the trouble I’am having is this intake considered an egr intake ?

Not up on all the Pontiac parts. Im building a 350, does any one know is there a valley pan that will clear roller lifters and work with this old the school Torker intake? Thanks so much for your time.

Just a update: Trying some loctite 680, see if noise goes away. I will call Romac on Monday morning. Thx for everyone’s help.

Bill you right on the numbers, I’am getting a knocking noise at idle I believe it is do to balancer movement.

PowerBond Street Performance Balancer

I just finished a Pontiac 350 build and crankshaft is aftermarket. The crank snout diameter measuring 1.3710” the balancer bore is 1.3745. Does any one make a undersized balancer for Pontiac, or what have any of you guys done in past to resolve an issue like this. Thanks for everyone’s time.

I have used two dart SBC's and on both the drain back from the fuel pump barely broke through into the crankcase. We had to get the grinder out and open it up. Next time you have the engine torn down you may want to check that. That could definitely prevent proper oil drainback. Paul X2 most if not...

I am not up on what seals this pump uses but a couple of generic things come to mind. 1:Since it's not blowing out the V covers it is likely not a pressure issue. If running alky is the seal material compatible? Same question about the diaphragm. 2: Is it is creating a real big mess that could caus...
