Maybe it's just me! I grew up calling the Chevy's Tripps and the Pontiac Tri Power. Nobody seems to have a problem in my neighborhood calling the Mopar stuff a six pac.
What was wrong with it?
That part I don't know!Not sure how a bad lifter would cause a plug to look like that.
No 348’s in Catalinas, were the numbers still on the block in the area in front of passenger side head? And casting number and date?Pretty sure my Canadian passenger 348 W came out of a Pontiac??? So "Turbo Thrust" - 250HP
I added the 3x2 therefore making it a "Super Turbo Thrust" or "Tru-Power" Pontiac Edition - 280 (well 275)...LOL
It was out of a Catalina if I'm not mistaking!!
Correct me if I'm wrong

Not the lip, the tab for plug wires. Sorry....French guy over here LOLThe valve covers you are describing are 58 only. The "lip" was for holding the valve cover gasket in place.
Would you know which model Pontiac?The picture shows a no bowtie valve cover. The valve covers must of been on a Canadian Pontiac.
Very cool, much appreciated!!For the most part the Canadian W covers were the same as the US but without the bow tie, so they were painted except for the chrome years, 63,64,65. Only in full size Pontiacs, Parisienne, Laurentian, and strato chief. Fairly rare but I see them pop up once in a while. I had a truck 348, it had no bowtie and likely came from a Chev truck, so maybe Canadian Chev cars and truck had no bowtie. I sold that motor in NZ with my 62 bubbletop.

HI DonWhat is the grind on the new cam?? The over rev didn't cause the failure,improper preperation/break in procedure did.The rev limiter is always a good idea.
