In 1966 I had a Pontiac Tempest with a 6 cylinder engine with an overhead camshaft.Does anybody have info?
I am desperately trying to find a car that Pontiac made with this engine. It was a screamer,to say the least.It would do close to 10,000 rpm. It didn't have a lot of low end torque, but wind it up and watch it go! I've asked a lot of people who love cars & nobody believes me that Pontiac made this engine. HELP!
The engine continued in production from 1966 to 1969. It was dropped because it was too expensive, and it also was somewhat unreliable due to top end lubrication problems. With a 1-barrel, it was the standard engine on the Tempest and Firebird lines, so they made quite a few. The 4-barrel "Sprint" version is certainly more collectible. They had 207 to 215 hp gross, depending on the year, which is just okay. It wasn't a huge bunch of hp. I've always heard 6500 rpm for a redline, but I can't say I ever drove one that hard.
If you read any books on Pontiac history, you'll see that John Delorean wanted Pontiac to offer a car that had a sophisticated high-performance six and good handling, like European cars of that time. He was ahead of his time in this country.
There are almost no running OHC 6 Pontiacs anywhere any more. It's a great rarity to see one at a show, and you ought to enjoy it if you do. They're hard to get parts for, and pretty hard to live with compared to a 400, and most poeople just swapped them out.
John Paul is mistake about the Jeep and Pontiac engines being the same thing. They initially were the same size, but not the same thing.
