1936 Pontiac silverstreak - 07/15/21 04:02 PM
I have recently purchased a beautiful 1936 Canadian made Pontiac Silvestreak 6 cylinder all original. I have two problems,
1) I'm trying to find the motor I'd as I was told it is not the original motor, I have the original sitting in my garage.
Here is what I have found.
On the front corner driver side just below the valve cover is the following numbers 517139
On the valve cover is the numbers what looks like a C 512119
On the lower part of the passenger side below the starter is the markings J 14 2
On the valve covers is written gm4
I was told this was a crate motor but I don't know what year is it.
Problem 2 when the car is left idling for a while then turned off, then turned on again, my coolant boils over and spews out of the filler cap. It is green coolant I think. Temp gauge reads 190.
Thank you I am new on these so I'm learning.
