StevenGuthmiller Posted March 15, 2023 Author Posted March 15, 2023 Thanks fellas! Continuing on with some of the fine engine details. So far today, I've added the throttle cable and return spring, as well as a temperature sending unit on the intake. Working on fuel lines now. Steve 1
wrenchr Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 Even wearing gloves to not get greasy. Amazing craftsmanship!!
StevenGuthmiller Posted March 22, 2023 Author Posted March 22, 2023 Some more progress on the Bonneville. I believe that I've pretty much finished up the firewall. Got the wiring finished up on the engine. And finished up the 3 piece removable air cleaner. Getting very close to finishing up the engine, and moving on to the chassis. Steve 5

And I've worked on many old Pontiacs that had this same level of dirt and grime. Stunning work sir. 1

And I've worked on many old Pontiacs that had this same level of dirt and grime. Stunning work sir. I believe that I have the firing order correct. Don't quote me on that because as the eyes get older, it starts to become a little harder to keep the wires sorted correctly. I've always been an advocate for correct firing orders. It's really no harder to do them correctly than it is incorrectly. Plus they don't run worth a darn if they're not! Steve 1 3
TransAmMike Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 Well Steve, when you crank it up and it backfires thru the carb you'll know? 3

Use some AK Interactive oil stain coating to simulate that on grey-ish blacktop so it shows up better. Charlie Larkin

Lordmodelbuilder Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 Another sweet build! Never tire from seeing all your detailing!
Anglia105E Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 This engine detailing of the Pontiac engine is exceptional Steve, it really is . . . Your plug leads are absolutely on point, and that three piece air cleaner on top of the engine is literally the icing on top of the cake ! How I wish I could get my Rolls-Royce engine detailing up to your standard . . . I am enjoying following this thread of yours, and I have a particular interest in Pontiacs anyway. David
StevenGuthmiller Posted March 25, 2023 Author Posted March 25, 2023 Thanks fellas! Well, the 4-speed, 4 barrel, 389 is finally finished and ready to install, (once the chassis is complete) Since the last engine update, I've installed the exhaust manifolds, transmission, fan belt, fan, breather cap and dip stick. I also added a little alternator wiring and some more road grime to the lower half of the engine. Chassis modifications have begun. Steve 2
Kah puts Posted March 26, 2023 Posted March 26, 2023 Goodness gracious that’s awesome thank you for sharing ✌️
