    1973 Z28 engine stop solenoid wiring

    I'm trying to diagnose why my engine stop solenoid isn't getting 12V power when the engine is running. My car does not have the TCS relay and I've jumped the solenoid with 12V and it works. I've traced the tan wire to the back of engine but it goes into another wire loom that I can't access...

    7 Poorly Engineered Engines (Pontiac included)

    I was not aware of some of these racing engines but I found the inclusion of the Pontiac turbo engine interesting. Considering the technology limitations of the time I do not think the 301 turbo was that bad. What do you think of the list? Does anyone have a running and stock 301 turbo? Here...
