    Magnum Rocker Arms (These weren't in the kit)

    Pontiac V8 Magnum Roller Rockers

    The World’s Best High Performance Street Rocker Arms
    COMP Cams® Magnum Roller Rockers are the ultimate street rocker. That’s because they were designed with the serious performance enthusiast in mind. They will help your engine make more power and last longer. Magnum Roller Rocker Arms are:
    Strong
    Magnum Roller Rocker Arms are made from 8620 chromemoly steel. This makes them stronger than die-cast aluminum or stamped steel rockers. This superior material, along with the Magnum’s super stiff design, assures maximum lift because this rocker arm will not flex.
    Accurate
    You can’t get maximum horsepower from your engine if your rocker ratio is off. We checked other rockers and found rockers that were as much as .040” short on lift. The Magnum Rockers are super accurate. They check dead on every time.

    Powerful
    The Magnum Roller Rockers can make between 15 and 30 horsepower
    over other rockers! Why? The secret is that not only does the roller tip reduce friction, the Magnum Rocker’s incredibly stiff design and super accurate ratios yield more effective valve lift.

    Durable
    The roller tip design reduces friction by not scrubbing the valve end or pushing the valve stem hard against the valve guide. This in conjunction with the super strong design of the rocker makes for a simple, bulletproof, and cost effective combination.

    They are on the way.....

    This is what it will look like installed in a 1970 GTO

    except there we are using

    ceramic coated headers

    Below is an example. Don't know which engine these are for but this gives you an idea what headers are.




    They help to disperse heat.

    Are you going with GM original colors? What did they offer in 1970? I love that bright hugger orange, but dont know if it's circa 1970 or not.

    Just for kicks, here is a picture of one I snapped down in Busti, NY a couple weekends ago. Rolling chassis for $5,000, no motor or tranny!

    Yep the color is in the 1970's pontiac paint book. Thats what we are using for color choices.

    A few people think a yellow or orbit orange would be a bit much.

    I'll get the chart this weekend and scan them in.

    There were quite a few... The complete interior will be redone so it all matches.

    I could go back the original gold but that would be blau

    Go to Buffalo City Court and file a small claims for $5,000. Even if the jerk comes up with reasons to charge you a certain amount of money, you should be able to win $5,000.

    Report him to the BBB

    He's driving truck now I think. That's all in the past now.... time to move on.

    Taking money is one thing but he didn't have to destroy the car in the process.

    Karma will always bite you in the ass.
