Not exactly Pontiac but does anyone know what color a 6 cylinder in a 62 Canadian impala would be. Found a rusted out 62 4 door but has a 6 cylinder and its green just like a pontiac 261. Could not get at block casting number but stamping number is W9216635 could not find any information on this stamping num...

Hey guys I just bought a 1962 Strato Chief in Edmonton - 3900kms from my home in Toronto and I intend to drive it home in a few weeks. I am having a mechanic look it over before I take off but any suggestions of things to look for before I take off are welcome. It's got 100k original miles on it and seems to be in g...

I am in processes of installing a refreshed 1960 261 'Strato-Six'. It has a remote oil filter. The Pontiac manual says 4qt plus one for the filter. I have 5qts in it and the dipstick is right at the 'low' mark. Either I have the wrong dipstick, or perhaps this should take 6qt, like a truck engine. The...

Bake · Bake

I am a proud owner of a 1960 Parisienne 4 door vista hardtop. I'm swapping the original 261 for a period correct 283. I found a 283 and transmission in a 1966 Parisienne for a donor. Then I found that the transmission on the 283 had a "fine" spline while my driveshaft has a "course" spline. My first thou...

So I decided...a while back...after I discovered that my new dual exhaust didn't actually run all the way back...that I would do something about that. My 63 283 2spd did not come into this world with a dual exhaust but I feel that it's a good upgrade. My car had that partially done. Nice new 2" down to stoc...

Decided the other day not to drop the 283 back in without a full refresh. When I took it out, without having driven the car, compression was 130ish after 30 yrs in storage and a real bad timing chain, it ran quiet and didn't smoke so I was going to run with it for a couple of years. In the end, it has 130,000 m...

Does anyone have experience with such a swap and if so what issues would have to be addressed? Thanks f...
