  • A friend of mine who scraps old cars said he found a fairly complete old Pontiac with a stuck engine and let me know it was available for purchase before he sent it to the crusher. This Pontiac turned out to be a 1970 Lemans Sport 4 door hardtop with a 350 engine and TH350 transmission. Of course we couldn't pass it up! Let's see if we can get the old Poncho to live once again! This car has been SOLD to another faithful viewer!!! As always, thanks for watching!

    Monday's with Mortske. Pontiac engines are very reliable. If one thing I have learned from this channel is if something sits outside without being turned over in years it will size up from condensation. I was thinking this was a sure boat anchor but nope the LeMans proved to be still useable.

    PBG is a lot of fun. You should give more recomendations to channels. the last two have been really solid. Also $500 for that thing is like $200 over scrap prices for a running driving car. That is damn reasonable. I would love to watch someone pick one of these treasures up from you and drive it across country to see how far it goes.

    I bought a 71 in 77. It was a two door. Only year they called it a T37. I think it was a slightly upgraded trim level on the Tempest. Same engine and tranny as the one you have in the 70. It was a strong runner.
    On the Pontiac V8's, they were all big blocks. The only small block was the inline six. Some had an overhead cam with a four barrel carb, they ran strong too.
    The only weak spot on them was the fiber toothed cam shaft sprocket. Designed to be quieter than steel. Lasted around 75k miles. Run great, then one time you shut it off it won't start.

    1995 K2500 extended cab long bed with 4” lift. Rust and dent free I got for $200 on marketplace 3 years ago. It didn’t have the drivetrain or axles OR wiring!
    Now she all the basics and I dropped a TBI350 in her with 43k miles and that freshly built 4l80.

    Way to stay committed! Most guys would have given up just based on the compression readings. Not to mention the timing and plug wiring debacle. I couldn't believe the starter didn't burst into flames. And then the tiny fireball! Duff must be tired from hunting. But he still knew enough to get his head inside the window as you crossed the railroad crossing, so he didn't get a headache. As always grateful for all your hard work and time. Keep it up!!

      Most people hear that "the engine is stuck" and some will at least confirm it's stuck and then move on. In the common wrenching vernacular, a stuck engine is a dead engine meaning it is in the grave for all intents and purposes.

    Very cool to see you get that car running again and what had to

    was critical of you reselling those cars, sometimes it's not about
    the money, it's about the challenge of making it run again and saving
    it from the compactor. I learned a lot watching you work on these
    various cars and trucks and appreciate the sharing of the knowledge.
    Your channel is not restoration but provides more of a look at the
    mechanics of things. When you are done, yeah maybe there is someone
    to take it to another level and yeah maybe you break even or make a
    buck or two on something.... so what! People got to live and pay their

    Speaking from experience, those Pontiac engines have a couple of odd quirks, one of which is the damned nylon timing gear that loves to spit off a couple of teeth and cause the timing to jump. I don't know if that is what caused this to become a 'no start' back in the day but I wouldn't bet against it, the failure usually happened at engine shut off. Ran good until parked and refused to start again. Good job on waking this one up!

    In the early 80's I had a total of 14 LeMans. Oldest was 68, newest was 72. Loved them but bought them to flip. Had access to a pipe bender so I kept it simple. Dual exhaust, hush thrush mufflers, and whatever mags I could round up at the local yards. Bolt on HP and curb appeal. Detail with a wax and down the road they went. Here's what I learned about Pontiac cars of that vintage. At 40k miles they wanted a new timing gear set. At 60k miles they wanted outer carrier bearings on the rear. Otherwise if they were properly maintained they were a 200k mile vehicle without anything major. From the wheel swaps over the years I'm guessing (estimate) I have about 60-80 assorted PMD mags. I only kept the complete ones. Rings and such. Had one that had been wrecked before it got it. Whoever did the front clip put the letters in the grill wrong. So that one was a Ponitac lol. I left it for someone else to discover. Good stuff today. I thought this one was a boat anchor in a tin box but you got it to run and drive.

    May dad claimed that these are great derby cars!! The grill built into the bumper was like a battering ram plus it protected the radiator! They were Usually the last one’s still running.

    Great job! I’ve actually done a in car rebuild like this in a 4 cylinder after the piston skirt freed itself. New piston and rod, honed cylinders and It ran for many more years and miles after until the transmission locked up, wish I still had the 40 mpg beast. Never give up! Never surrender!

    Poncho back from the grave! I didn't give her much of a chance of being resuscitated... Mortske magic once again. A LOT of work, but she seems to run pretty well. Thanks for sharing!

    Mortske Repair Friend Hello I'm rooting for you to getting this Pontiac running ,since the Chevrolet in your other video you didn't get running, but you went through the trouble of tearing that engine down to show us why it didn't run ,I have a alot of respect for you and I love the dog Duff as well 😃😃🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍💪💪💪

    had one just like it but was a 2 door, same engine transmission. had 350 badge behind front wheel. red with reverse cragar keystone mags, chrome side mirrors. stood out, got alot of compliments, fun to drive handled well.

  • @danieloneill4322
    @danieloneill4322 Год назад

    Nice job getting her running. Hope you fix it up. I’ve got a 71 GTO and just love the Pontiac 68-72 A bodies. As rough as it is, that cars still pretty solid. I know it’s a 4 door, but there ain’t many left. She deserves to be saved.

    Perseverance by the pallet-load.
    Dr. Watson could not have written a better Sherlock Holmes detective story.
    Mortske is the engineer you want in the top turret when the landing gear is shot up, you can't get the gunner out of the ball, you're on one engine, fuel lights in the red...yet he comes through; cranks down the gear, frees up the turret ring jam, releases the gunner and just says, ready to land!
    Lord Duff and Duke Mortske may skip interrogation and go immediately to triple combat rations.
    Well done!

    Mom's sister had one of these, I remember it was a Lemans and had 350 behind each front wheel. Every family has a driver like her one of her other sisters always said she only knew fast and faster she never wrecked one though, she's 86 you'd think she would have slowed down but nope still zooms down the hwy.

    Thanks for going the extra mile. I have a soft spot for Pontiacs. I owned 4 of them. Well, actually 3 1/2 f them. One of them was a Pontiac Astra which was a Chevy Vega clone wit a little different chrome. It was a real POS.

    You had me going there for awhile, I thought you were going to bale after shearing the key on the balancer. You forged ahead and bam! shades of Y blocks past a beautiful fireball from a crankcase full of fuel. Can't believe the starter hung in there with double the voltage and enough smoke boiling out of it looking like a steam locomotive. Happy Halloween!

    Hey Mortske: Its amazing to see you working on a Pontiac sedan like the one that I had grown up with.... We had a '69 Custom S that was a pain in the ass to keep running... You did a top notch job getting it back to life and Duff really enjoyed it as well... A case of sammitches is in store for you for to keep bringing it back to life!!! The Custom S had a 326 engine that was a definite kick in the pants to keep it on the road.... From the home of PB Blaster Silicone spray.... Cleveland, Ohio....

    I enjoy watching your superb mechanical skills, and your videos give me confidence to work on my own car. Tomorrow I get to install new front pads, calipers and brake hoses on my 2000 Astro van, which is about the limit of my auto mechanic ability. But when I watch you bring these heaps back to life, it gives me confidence
    Thanks Mortsky and Duff!

    There used to be a car lot Here called 0 over $999.00 sales. A old pal of mine was a regular customer of them. Buy it, drive it till it stopped, take the plates off, and buy another one.
    (He never could save up more than a thousand at one time.) Some of them weren't that bad , either. Your channel kinda reminds me of those days.Cheers Sir.
