Well, either I'm blind in one eye or I can't see out of the other, but there's no word "POLL" anywhere except down in the the lower right corner. and it refers to when the poll(s) close. Why not just use the word "VOTE"? I thought all the cars were nice. I'll just let you decide! That's how "the polls" are run, aren't they? Fill in the %'s as you see fit?
In re: to my initial complaint: If I can't figure out your code I'll (likely like several folk) just NOT participate so those who do understand your special words can do what they want!!
Thanks for.......

So, where's the car of the month?
I doubt if there is a worse website and I've seen a lot of bad ones! Maybe it's just for a select number of folks that know the secret handshake!.

Greetings!
You're not alone because Pontiac's and Buick's were known as "heaters". I assume that needs no explanation. Unleaded gas is not our friend in this regard. It tends to run hotter (read: allegedly cleaner). I'll assume you have a shroud, have trashed the clutch fab in favor of a REAL GM Flex-fan. Yes, they are available! I trust you DO have a thermostat installed, I've used a 16 lb. 180 unit.
Here's a suggestion that people question but it works! I'll take a wild guess that your Indian heats in one of two circumstances. Either idling (in traffic) and a steady speed or under long term acceleration a long hill. If your vacuum advance is connected like a Pontiac is supposed to, (ported vacuum, more vacuum as the throttle is opened) the former or like a Chevy, (manifold vacuum, when the throttle is closed or at cruising speed) he latter. If you have a lot initial advance, that will make the problem worse. If you forgot to reinstall the afore mentioned restrictions behind the water pump, it'll be harder to control the heating as formerly mentioned. If you have a Carter/Edelbrok carb it's easy as these carbs have both ports on the front of the carb. Install a "T" in the vacuum advance hose. That way your engine is always in some sort of vacuum advance. Reasonably advanced engines tend to run cooler. If you need a picture I can take one if I can figure out how to port it! LOL If you have a Holley, you'll need some imagination, but it's doable as there is a full vacuum port on one of the rear runners of your intake manifold. There you have it.It works for me and I live in So.CAl where it DOES get HOT! Good luck!

Well, thank you to any and all who voted for my car. Since this photo was taken I've replaced the "421" emblems with the original "326" emblems.

I'm out of trying! I tried to find a picture of your car to no avail, so I left whatever this is and only by luck did I find something that looked like what I wanted! So, what's a GTO/Sunbird? A GTO convertible? Sunbird's were made in the early 90's. If you put a 421 in it it'll be like a v8 Vega! An evil monster! I had a 400 small block V8 Vega, 72. Be well! I'll see if I can find a picture of your car next time! So, what do I hit now? SUBMIT OR FOLLOW? I'll try SUBMIT< but this is my last "try"! LOL
