LOL since when do REAL Pontiacs have a Distributor in the rear of the block? With exception of the 265/301 from the 80's, but that would explain the mount issue he had also.

[rewop23us]

@KonaBalona ALL Pontiac engines have distributors on the rear of  the block even Oldsmobile motors :P Tho I cant speak for engine manufactured before 1960.

I have been using firewall mounted solenoids for years. Great tip. VERY NICE build!

[ztwntyn8]

I wrapped my headers to save the starter. However, I realy dig the firewall mount unit. I will be doing that soon. Oh, and studs in the head for the headers... if my headers ever come off again there are def gonna be studs going in a couple of holes! great idea!

You'll notice that this is a very "real" Pontiac with a 540+ cubic inch Butler built Pontiac engine...

should of gone with KRE, thay got 904hp out of a 505 pontiac...and thay are cheaper by price compared to butler...

[bubub56]

@racecardriver467 hell yea KRE is amazing

More likely he didnt want to pull off the control arms to put the bolts in! Yea I ran into that, however I drilled the holes out just a little and used over sized grade 8 metric bolts stainless steel with the red lock tight. Stainless still washers and locknuts as well. I dont think I would have welded the engine mount to the frame. Real Pontiacs Dont Have Chevy Engines
