For our 40th wedding anniversary, wife and I bought our first ever Pontiac...
Seems to run good and strong. 350 engine has some added muscle (another 1st for us). Claims to have a Muncie 4-spd. We like it, but it does have a few issues.
Rear end rumble, seems to be U joints, makes the shifter rattle more than I prefer. Shifter rattle goes away if I hold it.
Nasty idle, which may be related to the added muscle, may be the Edelbrock carb needs a tweak. I have paperwork on the engine build. I need to research.
Stop-n-go traffic in hot weather, aftermarket temp gauge shows 240F, once as high as 260F. It normally runs in the 190-210F range.
Where do I locate the stamped engine numbers on the block?
Is there a way to figure out the original options, standard features, when this car was new?
