Pontiac overheating solved!

[timjen7]

Hello PT members:

I have been a member on PT for some time and my personal build of my 68 Firebird can be seen on this site. After my build and initial tests of the car, we were running in to significant overheating issues mostly at idle or stand stills. On the freeway the car would OK, maybe a little warm, but nothing concerning.
After a lot of research we discovered this to be a very common problem with the older Pontiac engines, particularly 400s as they notoriously ran a little warmer stock, but when modified like mine, overheating almost universally became an issue. After going through every suggested remedy, electric fans, high flow pumps, timing adjustment, etc., we experimented with the design of a new pulley especially for the Pontiac motor. The unit was installed several months ago and we have been testing since then. After months of testing in cool, moderate, and hot weather, the unit works perfectly, and in most instances cooler than expected. The car routinely now runs on the streets at around 165-175 and within 175-190 on the freeway. This is on warm mid 90's days (we are in Southern California).



About the product: We have patented and begun manufacturing the unit for the Pontiac market (this can work with some other vehicles Buick, Olds, etc). The product is a 100% USA made aluminum pulley and we will offer it in black anodized and clear coat natural aluminum finish. It attaches to your stock pump, and except for a new belt bought at your local store, no other mods are necessary.

We guarantee the finish and quality of the product and that it addresses your overheating issue.

If you'd like more information, pricing, etc. please feel free to PM me.
