  1. Don't get discouraged Zach ... you are making excellent progress. It is the journey and learning experience that is the most fun. All the material in the oil pan photo looks like busted up babbit from a connecting rod.
  2. Hello Zach... the distributor lock pin is located directly above the oil dipstick between cylinder 3 & 4. and the oil pressure fitting is located below the oil dipstick. There is an adjustable valve located there and inside is a spring that allows minor adjustment to pressure by turning the adjusting screw 1/2 turn in or out to increase or decrease spring pressure. Many owners of the day also hooked up a T-tap to that feed line to a remote oil filter tucked inside the frame rail....then often forgot about it and the filter would clog up. The filters are no longer available but I am sure you could rig something up with a cannister style filter. The 1926-27 Pontiac had a vacuum tank that hung on the firewall above the steering column that would help draw fuel from the tank. Then in 1928 Pontiac switched to a fuel pump. Make sure your fuel tank cap is sealing properly to make sure that the fuel pump can suck fuel. The pistons which I am sending may be from a 1927 but have the same part number for 1927 to 1929.
