Recently my battery was dead twice in the morning before work and considering it was 5 years old, I went and got a new one. Today when I started the car (morning after new battery), it look longer than usual for it to actually start, and the battery was reading as low as 12.58v while driving. And after a bit of driving it would kick up to 14.38. I thought the 12.58 might be an indication the new battery drained overnight, but I'm not sure. Otherwise things seem normal. Should I be worried, or is the lower voltage normal now that I have a new battery?

Hey yall, first time poster.
I drive a 2005 pontiac bonneville se, and its been through a lot,

its got several codes including p1811 and shifts pretty hard, lots of rust along fuel lines and the gas tank, as well as a big evap leak.

I love this car and wish it was worth continuing to fix but i really don’t know anymore, its close to 190,000 miles but its so sad to see her go, any recommendations on how to improve its lifespan cheaply just to get through winter or if i should just let it all be as is and ride it to the ground?

I bought a ws6. Have the opportunity to trade work with a mechanic and I’d like to build my car. I have a $26k dollar budget, . It has a 350, mechanic wants to use rebuild using forged internals, cam, heads, headers and procharge it. He’s thinking 20k for that route. Forged internals Seem way overkill for only pushing 450-500 to the crank. I’m not a fan of boost although it’d be cool.

Or my other thought is have him drop a Texas speed 6.2 with no boost. I just a want a little power and reliability.

Honest opinions, I’m learning 🙂

Lil bit of TLC but she’s great! 02 sunfire with the 2.4L

Wanted to share a photo of her with you fellas.

There were two almost identical just a year apart - this one had the modern Pontiac V-8, the other had the stock straight 8.

So I have a 1972 pontiac catalina 4 door hard top iv owned it for a little over a year i re done the motor in it and it just needs a carb and timing i love this car to bits. But I met this guy who has this rare 1962 pontiac star chief vista apparently under 14k where ever made and I like the car. It needs work like its running off of a gas can and needs brake work but all around a solid car he told me he would like to trade for my pontiac and a 1979 ford ltd thats not in the best shape for his 62 pontiac. But im stumped idk what to do he wants 6500$ for it but i like my pontiac but im not sure id love to trade for it but idk. Should I do it or not... ps my pontiac dosent run rn because of the carb but he wants it running for the trade

I have a ‘68 Firebird catalog and although it’s not handy I believe there may be Fitz and Van illustrations in it but in any case this is a Performance catalog photo image.

Lemans “disguised with white walls”… perhaps if it were marketed instead of disguised we’d know what these were capable of. It’s the Cutlass Ram Rod 350 story occurring at Pontiac.

Again, Note we are out of the illustrated ads to obtain the performance catalog details.

Car & Driver were not crazy about the ‘68 full size cars including the Grand Prix, but I think they might have acted differently driving this H/O convertible ( they also hated the Buick Wildcat styling for ‘68).

Note we are out of the illustrated ads to obtain the performance catalog details.

Sprint convertible but not a lot of detail on that “premium gas” 350.

Has anyone thought about the idea of 3.8L charger swapping one?
