I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Mercedes vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and EFi injectors clean as new!
Thank you for posting this! I've found a '68 OHC-6 for sale and am considering it...I love the classics but a V-8 is just too hard to feed these days. Have you taken any long-distance drives in it? What's the mpg?
does anybody know if i could put one of these into my 78 formula? i bought one for 100$ on craigslist in good shape and i'm gonna rebuild it. either goin into my 78 or my dads 65 GTO. i just want to know how much trouble it would be to go into my 78 firebird though.
It's a damned shame that this engine didn't have a life which extended into the 1970s. I think had this happened, the engine could've been put in the X-body Venturas, and it could have been a fuel-efficient alternative to the V8s that were commonplace at the time. On a different note, does anyone know how many cars were built with the Sprint-Six (both Tempest and Firebird) and are there clubs which specialize in such cars?
PMD came up with a bunch of stuff that GM killed or never let happen. Why? because PMD was just better then the cookie cut cheap made engines and cars by Chevy! thespeez, The last Pontiac Enthusiast mag I got talked about the Sprint. It's a very cool engine that would go great with a small turbo is a T bucked or hot rod car, screw the SBC, over used, bland, cheap cast GMs fav bitch chevy!
May/June 6/2/2008 Pontiac Enthusiast you just might be able to read it at their web page? You nailed it Small Block Chevy. No such as a stupid question, how are you supposed to know something that you dont know about, that gos with anything. Only assholes make fun of somebody for not knowing about something. The hate between real PMD people runs deep, take the time to read this guys web page wx3(dot)pontiacheaven(dot)org/about%20pontiac%20he aven(dot)htm
I understand that the base OHC-6 put out about 175 brake horsepower which If I understand was probably the most powerful standard six at the time. What was the performance like for that engine and how durable was it?
I dont know a whole lot about the engine as far as hands on or even the amount of power it can be built to, I have read that the bottom half of the engine is "half" a V8 PMD (Pontiac Motor Division) that makes it a very strong engine and durable. yahoo image "pontiac banshee 1964" the "bump" on the hood it the OHC timing cover. Vette stold the looks from this car for its own, and GM killed it cuz it was better then their Chevy vette. Chevy is GMs little whore cheap bitch!

hey, thanks for the comment
true the slack adjustment is poop, but it's manageable, i run with no advance so as not to steal vaccuum from the modified brake booster
the main area of concern for me has been the bolt that hold the alternator to the block
i have snapped it twice and it's a pain to remove

PMD was so far ahead of everyone when they put this engine to work.
I have been looking for one of these to run some boost in.
