New guy from Hastings, MN

Hi!  I just jumped into a new adventure after pulling a 1967 Pontiac Catalina wagon out it’s resting place in an old barn.   Trailered it home and I’m just starting to dig into it and am excited to make a Sunday driver for our family.  

the car has a 2brl 400 from 1969.  That turns over but has no spark,  so I’m diagnosing that while also slowly digging into the brakes, fuel system and trans.  The body will need attention as well,  but that’s pretty far out for now.  Just going to ignore it for a bit. 😁

I’m pumped that I found the forum and will have a place to post about the car and get some technical info.

Man, love me a wagon! Congrats on the purchase and look forward to seeing more about it!

Thanks!!  And correction-  it’s a 66.   I’m new to all things Pontiac. 👍😁

Welcome to FP. We're happy to help any way we can.

Thank you 👍.

 And an update- I went through the motions of checking everything over before a startup.  Found the wrong points and condenser setup in the distributor.  After clearing and refilling the fuel tank it fired on the first turn.  😁.   
 

My next step is figuring out the trans.   It has a three on the tree (deerborn?) and the clutch is not engaging.   This may be why someone stashed it away in 97.    
I will  move any questions that I have to other parts of the forum.  

Thanks,

Mike

Very cool. You found the build sheet. Was it under the rear seat or the fuel tank?
