Default Canadian Pontiac

BooBee,

Here is a shot of the distributor side of the 261 - captains bars and all.

When I found this engine ( 15 minutes away from home ) I checked the serial number and the block and head casting numbers. My rebuilder mechanic confirmed it as a 1962 vintage 261 inch Chevrolet with 235 heads. He indicated that this engine combo was a common pairing back when I was a toddler to give the Canadian Pontiacs ( and the other Chebby guys who needed more cubes ) a bit more beans to pound the Ford heads flat.

If I can keep up my feverish pace the 6 will be in the frame next Saturday. keep those pix coming, as all of my teardown pix were stolen when my computer vanished last February ( note to self - back up files!).
