Increased Power in the New Pontiac Six
The New Series Pontiac Six gains power through a G-M-R cylinder head enabling higher compression with commercial fuel, a larger intake manifold, a specially calibrated Carter carburetor with an economizer, and an accelerating pump. Additional gains come from a thermosta tic water temperature control and a balanced water pump impeller, plus a reinforced frame, clutch, steering, heavier wheels, and four wheel brakes to match the higher output.
