PONTIAC My 79 Grand Am

I'm very impressed with your rides! I can see we have a lot in common, I love Pontiacs and have owned many of them through time. I would like to change to FI someday hopefully soon. So those #31 heads must be round ports then...correct? I can't see your manifolds...are you using stock ones or headers? I had the TH400 in my car for 2 decades and loved it, it sure is bullitt proof but it definitely robs horsepower. I found out that after I swapped to the TH200-R4 my car was noticeably quicker and I could go on the highway with the overdrive and GN 3.42 with lower RPM's. Love your old GTO man, is that a 69?

The FI is the way to go. Car starts immediately. Idles perfect. Not runnin a crazy cam. The heads are D port. Ram Air Restorations oversized manifolds. I already have a 200 4R that I’m gonna have rebuilt cause I want the OD. I had the TH 400 built already and wanted to use it. It’s a 68.
 
Right on bro,,,you know your sheet....metal for sure! Thanks for your answers as i wast just curious about your setup. So they make a Ram Air set for D-ports? That's awesome...im gonna get me a pair. Ya that's a good swap to the th2004r....but im sure you already know that with your nice GN! 😁

Yes, another factory Canadian sbc powered car, all were, with a couple of exceptions since the late 50's.

So I shouldn't feel so bad for putting a Chebby in our wagon? 😉

That said, I am really digging this Grand AM. What tires are out back? They look like Toyo TQs.
