Does anyone know if sbc hydraulic lifters will work in a pontiac, I see that solids will work , thanks

NO, the oil band is to low.
It will catch and break the lifter bore.

To add to what RW said, it will also allow the oil band to "pee" oil pressure right out, opening the "door" for catestrophic failure.

It is also a mistake to use solid Chevys in the Pontiac. Comp now offers "800-16" as a solid lifter with the oil hole drilled in the bottom, and recommends them for certain Chevy applications. They are a true Pontiac lifter. We use them in Chevys when a "small base circle" cam is used, for the same reasons one doesn't use standard Chevy lifters in the Pontiac. NEVER use the AT-992s in a Pontiac...
