How about Jay Hamilton? I was a big fan of Pontiac's back then....Had a '58 street car and raced it some. Craig Muller from NJ was a buddy of mine and he had one for a while and knew the west coast guys. Stu Rogers was a Pontiac guru and I worked with him a lot. He was Billy Izykowski's partner on the first Biscayne Billy raced.........My '58 went in the 14's and was driven to the track......I had a F.I. unit for it but sold it.......Ah those old days were cool....I loved my '58 !!!!

My brother use to have one like that with a 389 GTO motor and 3x2 carbs, 4 speed automatic. Very cool car.

To all who didn't know it the Fuel Injection Manifold used in PRODUCTION in late 1957 & 1958 on the Pontiacs was a sheet metal unit,

I have one just like Mary Ann Foss's....black, tri-carb, posi, auto, black with only 28,000 mile ...all original except for rubber products....tires, belts, hoses, etc.

I bought it out of Ohio about three years ago. I have all the paper work and verified mileage statements.......it's a beauty!

My pictures were to big to download here so I'll have to figure a way to shrink them if anyone wants to see them.

Tony, you have any pictures of Royce Virgin's 58 ? I beleive he ran FI at one time on that car. Very nice car and was lighting fast back in the late 60's.
