Yeah it's pretty sad, we've become a failed society, of course if I didn't respect my elders my dad straightened me out, these days, every one knows everything, I won't go into the why's but we've become a society by design that holds opinion over all else.
The Pontiac history and the Goat and Firebird seem to be pretty complicated and took me a while to figure them out and I still find new info and stories, thankfully I have this site and all my old HP Pontiac magazines with some great tech info and of course Nunzi, amazes me how complicated the Firebird first gen info is, I wonder if it's because DeLorean was a complicated man with a vision to make Pontiac huge in sales so he could move up, he was a real Maverick and seemed to like to break the GM rules, let's face it the 67 400 bird does not meet the rules, bent throttle linkage or not.
