glad you had fun, enjoyed the videos.

Stock or mildly built Pontiac engines don’t respond well to higher numerically rear gears like 4.11gears. I have seen many run slower ETs because of to much gear. Stock Pontiac engines make all their power down low in the rpm’s. I wouldn’t go any more than 3.42 gears on a stock to mild built Pontiac engine. They are all done at 4800-5200 rpm. A lot of Chevy and Ford guys don’t understand that . I run 13.2s @102 mph with an automatic and 3.08 factory gears in my 81 TA. Engine is a Pontiac 461 stroker with iron stock 6X8 heads. The track I used to run at was Atlanta Dragway which is 1000 ft above sea level. It closed in 2021. At a sea level track like Atco or Norwalk I would be high 12s. A lot of Chevy and Ford guys tell me to put higher gears in like 391 or 4.11 to run quicker , they just don’t get it. If I had an engine that turned 6500 rpm and was making power at that rpm absolutely. Now 3.23 or 3.42 may help but nothing any higher than that for my engine combo. Besides my car is a street car with a 3 speed auto . It would be buzzing with 3.73 and up gears at 60 mph . No thanks. Pontiacs make a lot of torque … use it wisely.

i enjoy what you do sir KEEP doing you it is awesome

HOWdy Austin, = the JOYS of a PONCHO 🙂 Thanks COOP ...

IMHO, I think the powers that be at GM don't want to admit that they screwed up, royally, when the killed off Pontiac, when they should have killed off Buick. China is in the process of rubbing out Buick with their own car. Perhaps, in this era of heightened tensions between the US and China, GM should focus in their CORE customer base, and re-introduce Pontiac as GM's performance division, with a good dose of awesome styling thrown in.

some great points where made here .. RIP Auto Club Speedway

Been there, done that. Not easy for an old fat guy such as myself....

I have never had any luck with not bleeding the whole system after a mastercyllinder job always had air just from the line swap

Nice job on the brakes. Looks like you are ok without the pump and canister.

Great job man, never giving up!

Pontiacs are Great

Get them Pontiacs going and rolling ! Keep those dreams alive , it makes us see its possible

I give you credit. no way can work on my projects in that heat ..i am a lazy bastard who hats to sweat lol

You of all people know it sucks to be short Don't you have one of those rise up lay downs creepers that you could have used instead of laying on your car? Surprised you didn't go with a hydro boost system instead of your vacuum setup that way you don't have to have a pump that's noisy cuz it's using your power steering pump to run the brakes and it's a GM thing

Keep up the good work brother 👌🏻

My experience with 68-72 A bodies, and I owned cutlass, GTO's and Chevelle's, is that they ALL hopped and shook the hell out of the tires when attempting a burnout. It will be interesting to see what happens with slicks.

Have the brakes always been bad due to low vacuum and you just lived with them? 😳 Are you planning on maybe a 700r4 and keeping the gears? Hope it all goes well at the National show.

I'm with you on having to do the limbo under the dash and having to crawl on top of the engine along with dropping the tools and fasteners deep into the abyss.

Austin, you should have a lot of friends to help you when you need them. I have only met you a couple of times at the AMC club area at the Moparfest but I would helped you. I could have met you up at Bobs and driven you back.

Good to see you put in and left in the struggle of your project. Great job Austin. Nice to see Rich make an appearance in the video.

Sorry for your struggles. I replaced everything but my brake pedal, all new lines, brakes, proportional valve, master cylinder and brake booster in my 80 Camaro. I struggled ALOT. Its nice to watch a real video that's not edited to make it look easy.

YOU SHOULD BRING THIS CAR OVER TO JACKS WAX AN WE WILL REALLY SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO ...LOL

I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO HAVE THIS ALL DONE YESTERDAY ...LOL

and this is why I say computers and AI is not are friend, I like pen and paper and a car with a computer I avoid. one global database are just a few is just a bad ideal. and its a shame you need a computer database to run a body shop or a garage, yes the news is not reporting none of this and I'm not sure the average person even understands what this means

I have two classic cars and yes they will keep you broke and I wonder sometimes why I do this then it Dawns on me I can't stand golfing and back to Jeg's we go😁looking forward to see what the 455 can do in the quarter best of luck brother,

I'm in Ohio also just down the road from old mans garage where is your shop, and good luck at the Pontiac nationals a fan of your LeMans

You’re so lucky to be able to drive right to Jegs . I have no choice but to order . Summit is nearest to me in Nevada but shipping is usually 2 days to Washington .

I love the Jegs Videos. I have gotten their catalogs but never been to their store.

13:50 if you're lucky

love it

Love it, spending money! Have fun!

Can't wait to see the results from the ACE'S They are awesome guys!

thank you!!

Austin I hope you get a chance to see Dalton pole barn garage and the holy goat in the butler performance booth

That car is dialed, ready to test drive!

Remember b positive Mr Austin. I love watching your videos a lot of times you are funny as hell especially when you are working on your cars the shit you go through

I believe you need the liquid hot wrench, it won't be tight if it is liquid!

If you had said something, I would have packed my crap and come to ohio and installed all of this stuff for free. Speak up already. I am willing to help. Damn, guys. You can have help, just ask. There are lots of us that will help you, I know I am one!

When you watch a channel that you like you will still watch it no matter what you doing for me anyway

Those look great, I love that look! Disc brakes?

it was real love that shock video
