When I picked up my project car, I could not get the darn thing running after many weeks of troubleshooting.
Found that old gas had settled, dried up, and caused serious rust problems inside the tank.
My troubleshooting method was to come home one day and see the TA will fuel leaking...
If standard manifold, the starter should come right out.
I know the Pontiac 400 starter is on the driver's side.
I can't remember what side for my old 403.
Not a bad price.
I don't know if the straight-through exhaust will be a problem for the State inspection.
Will you keep or fix and turn it over for a profit?
