StevenGuthmiller Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share 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.

StevenGuthmiller Posted March 22, 2023 Author Share 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.

And I've worked on many old Pontiacs that had this same level of dirt and grime. Stunning work sir. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use some AK Interactive oil stain coating to simulate that on grey-ish blacktop so it shows up better. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglia105E Posted March 23, 2023 Share 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.

StevenGuthmiller Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share 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.
