Glad to hear you have the things sorted out.
On a different subject, are you going to Tigers on the Columbia this year? I haven’t decided yet. I've got lots to do around the house but it would be nice to take a couple days off.

When is Tigers on the Columbia??? I'm currently rebuilding the engine and trans out of my '71 Grand Prix....engine is in the machine shop, trans at a rebuilder. hope to have it on the road by end of Summer.

However, I can just imagine a future owner troubleshooting some kind of problem, then finding the #4 and #7 plug wires reversed and thinking, "Hey, I found the problem!" Not.

There will ALWAYS be a pair of adjacent cylinders firing sequentially. Moving the 4 - 7 cylinders shifts the adjacent cylinders to the 2 - 4 cylinders.

Silly me! For some reason I thought the idea was to not have adjacent cylinders firing one after the other.

The idea comes from the stock class racing world. The idea was to change how the intake feeds air into the cylinders. Folks studied how some intake manifold tracts supplied two cylinders that fired one after the other not giving that intake tract time to completely refill before it needed to fill the second cylinder. By regrinding the cam that allowed the consecutively firing cylinders to be fed by intake tracts that come from different levels in a dual plane manifold. Thus the second cylinder's intake tract was fully filled when the cylinder's intake valve opened. The cam modification does nothing without the proper intake manifold. When your hunting for hundreds of a second in the quarter mile this things help

And pontiacvince the Tigers on the Columbia event was last weekend. It's usually every Memorial day weekend.
