What do you think of this 1970 Pontiac Firebird? It has been stripped out to be a drag car; it has a recent crate Pontiac 350, new GM starter, new GM alternator, battery relocation kit, Edelbrock 1405, HEI conversion from Mallory, nitrous, and a brand new and tested pair of batteries. Right up your alley, no?Yeah! I like the iron... Though the only Pontiac motor I really fall over for is the 428 interceptor... very partial to that one. For the trouble I'd have gone Chevy small block myself... :D
Funny, I like the Birds- The front end gives them better styling to me, but I don't like Camaros all that much. More of a Chevelle guy, normally.
Only one little problem with it.
It won't start, not even with TWO new fully charged batteries connected to it, without a boost from another vehicle. All of the electrics are new and properly installed, the starter is correct for a 10:1 Pontiac 350, when the starter is installed on another Ponty 350 it'll spin over fine, additional grounds don't help, bypassing the solenoid doesn't help. All the starting parts are new GM or Mallory made parts. Timing and mixture are correct, etc., etc., we've swapped parts with a known good car, etc., etc. It just won't start when cold or hot without help.
