Ramon Lowe 58 Pontiac

[Rich Biebel]

The car I got the F.I. off of was a SuperChief and it was a very rare model.

It looked totally stock.....and had the F.I. emblems on the front fenders and they looked like they were factory installed...

Pontiac made 2 different wheelbase cars in '58 I believe

The Bonnevilles and Super Chiefs were the longer wheelbase models

The base model Chieftans and Star Chiefs were the shorter wheelbase.

My memory is only so good after 40 plus years...and I do think the T part number for the HP parts was for Tempest and not Trophy as I posted earlier....

My local Pontiac dealer had a real great guy behind the parts counter and he put up with me inquiring about those T-395A manifolds and tried to get them for me....

A few years later I bought a very nice '60 Catalina Convertible from him...and also went to work at that dealership as a line mechanic and was there in the mid to late '70's......Not much of a performance era,,,,I did work on a lot of TA Firebirds but never saw the Bandit....LOL The only Bandit was GM......cause they sold some real junk in that era,,,,,

Rich,

Were those 'Fuel Injection' systems 'useless' on the street.

I remember nodody wanted them, especially the guys with
the 327 'Fuelie' Corvette's.

On the 1958 Pontiac's

Chieftain, Super Chief and Bonneville all were built on the
122" Wheel-Base, but the Bonneville used the longer 211.7"
body style.

I think they could just barely fit in a 18' Depth Garage.

1958 Bonneville 'Fuel Injection'

'Fuel Injection' emblems, located on front-fenders 'above molding' and trunk-lid 'lower right side'.
