Thanks for the response, yea that really what I was looking for, he is a old guy, and very good with old cars, but I still like to make sure everything sounds right.
He would never touch a computer to use the internet, so does not have the benefit of learning through so many knowledgeable Pontiac people as on this site.

He told me he would be able to drive the car and see if the current torque converter would work ok, or if it needs a new one to run the engine right.

Billybob,
I am putting new LB Manifolds (like headers) and this exhaust on also
http://www.ramairrestoration.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=117

It has the original intake, wich I am sure could be replaced, but has a Edelbrock 4barrel carb that he put on last year.
I do know it is pretty haha!

He mentioned replacing the torque converter if it needs it, not sure there, hoping it not real expensive to do so.

BTW I know I suck at answering these questions, it is more than a little embarrasing not knowing things about my own car for sure.
