66 I bought 5 weeks ago, sat in a garage in upstate Michigan, Petowski..paint 30 years old, dried crystalized tree sap..ugh.. well after some serious buffing and a bit of wet sanding polishing it came out pretty good..need to put emblems back on, polish stainless trim etc. interior cleaned up real nice, got a tri carb on the way..detail engine back, then go underneath..degrease and clean up.. be a very nice driver..

 

Looks great!

 

Job well done!

Sharp! Elbow grease to the Rescue!

 

1966 pontiac 2+2.. had many gto, firebird and trans am..wanted something different hence the B body catalina 2+2..gto’s everywhere at every car show, rarely see a 2+2 or a 65-66-67 442..thats why I like em..my 2+2 is a tripower car like the 442 will be soon. Funny thing is the original color of the 2+2 was martinique bronze, the 66 442 is sierra mist poly..both colors are exactly the same paint code. Pontiac now tiger gold, 442 obviously black.. love the cars of 1966

 

Wow! 66-67 my favorite.

 

Wow, nice work. If you decide to vacation in Oklahoma mine could use a bit of tlc.

 

i was gonna mention the 2+2 .i used to have a 66.2+2.and my dads 66 cat just went to my nephew in arizona last year.love the 65-66 b body pontiacs.

 

Nice job... Sharp looking 442

 

Spectacular!

 

Very slick.

 

Very nice. Love to see more pictures and details. Love those 66's.

Once i get emblems and stainless polished I will re post a few pics.. interior is real nice, needs a dash pad which I have. Not looking forward to pulling the dash to put it on tho..lol.. lots of brittle plastic and old wiring plugs..what could go wrong?. Lol. I'm like a gorilla in a glass shop.. not the most patient or dainty.. The engine really needs pulled to clean and detail it right, just not sure thats going to happen. May have to have a everything around the engine detail..
Is there anything I need to know about putting the tri carb intake on the engine? Any little oldsmobile nuances to avoid leaks etc I mean. I have swapped a lot of Pontiac intakes but they are easy as they have a valley pan..

 

Spray K&W Koppercoat on the intake ports of the gasket, film of RTV Ultra Black or ultra copper at water port areas. Use black RTV instead of the rubber end seals. Follow the factory bolt tightening sequence.

 

Turned out darn nice!
Great looking car.

 

Very nice. That is on of my favorite body styles and looks great in black. Enjoy your car.

 

Thanks for the help on intake replacement, little things keep me more efficient

 

Petosky... the city is Petosky, MI. As a Michigander, I couldn't let that go. It's also our state rock. You have blasphemed our great state.

Looks like it cleaned up very nicely, congrats!

 

I think your governor blasphemed the great state if Michigan and Petoski..😘

 

Nice job! I see a new plate is in your future "WET PNT"

 

I'd blaspheme your governor. HEYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

Carefully!... just that the cast iron manifold is heavy, and hard to set it straight down on the block.

 

My buddy has an engine lift, we are going to use that..last time I put a tripower on my 66 2+2 by myself it got done but pulled my back damn good doing it..I forget I am 60, not 30 sometimes. The days of 10 foot tall and bullet proof are behind me.lol..
