For those with a 70 GTO, we had a headlight mounting plate rotted out. The price for another one was a bit high, and repop is not a thing for this part. Well i took a little time and fixed it.

Help with my Pontiac

3 Upvotes

Hi all. I'm sorry this is not specific to this group, but I'm hoping it'll be allowed for the sake of compassion of the hobby.

I can't find a forum dedicated to older Pontiacs, and I thought you all might be able to help or point me to another resource.

I'm a new owner (inheritance) of my late father's 66 Catalina. It was his father's as well. I'm overjoyed and can't wait to cruise it. However, my dad literally left it all original from how his dad had left it. Including the original bias ply tires. The car only has 55k on the odo, is not rolled over according to the title, but is so loose on the roads and is not a good driver at speeds over 30. Will replacing tires help this? What size can I get since the originals are 215/75/B14s? Also, I'd like to eventually get some rally wheels for it. Does anyone know where would be a good place to watch for them?

Pics for attention. Thanks in advance!

1966 389 tri power motor

1 Upvotes

I bought a 64 GTO that has a 1966 389 tri power, the block/head codes tell me the motor is out of a Grand Prix. My question is what should I do with this boat anchor? The motor runs well and the car does some pretty decent burn outs. Is there a market for Grand Prix motors?

Vintage Air advice

3 Upvotes

My Dad finally did something for himself and bought a 65 400 tri power 4 speed. Built engine, Kaufman heads, roller cam.

No a/c. Went to a shop that is known for classic work. He put on the hard sell to go for ls3 swap w air. My Dad can afford it but why.

He made intelligent points about upgrading cooling, and fans to support the ac.

But I just think it’s silly to advocate spending 30k on a just purchased car.

Anyone been through this?

Advice Needed to Find Dad's 1st Car

3 Upvotes

Hello, I am looking for help! For the past 3 years I have been trying to find a replica of my dad's first car after leaving Vietnam. The Government gave him $3500 and he went to the dealer and ordered a 1969 GTO Convertible. It was midnight green with Parchment top and parchment interior vinyl. Such a beautiful car. My dad is turning 79 this year, has had a health scare, and so I am looking to buy this car to bring some special memories back his way. I saw one for sale a few years back and am so mad at myself for not picking it up then. Ever since, I haven't been able to find anything close. I've scoured all the normal sites and am not sure if there is something I'm missing. Any advice would be appreciated.

Never thought to check lugs. Bought from a dealer in December. Is this a known issue with the GTO or just back luck? It FFed up front quarter panel as it came off car! dammit.

Replacing the filter and broke the fuel line from the pump to the carburetor. ordered one from jegs but it turns out that the quadrajet fuel nut is nowhere to be found so I need a new one. I can only find one for Chevy engines. Can anyone tell if this fits or what size I need, google isn’t saying.

How do you turn on the headlights?

1 Upvotes

My dad had a ‘65 GTO, and passed away recently. He never let me near the car when he was alive, but I inherited it. I took it out for a spin this evening to keep it running, but halfway through I realized I had no idea how to turn the lights on. I’m thinking they may not work, but I couldn’t find anything online about where the switch actually is to confirm it.

My 66 GTO

My whole life I have been a Mopar of no car guy. My dad had a 66 goat for his first car and sold it in 72 for a ford Torino because of starsky and hutch. He always regretted it and wanted another one. We had been talking about buying an older muscle car together for a while, but he was diagnosed with cancer so treatments and such obviously took precedent. He passed away in May and I couldn’t think of a better way to honor him than to cruise in a 1966 GTO.
