We upgraded the rear suspension on our drag car tribute '63 project and are quite happy with what we went with. Chose the tubular upper/lower control arms from Global West and the panhard bar relocation bracket. Because our end goal will be to install a 9" we installed the #TBC-97 adjustable upper con...

Hi all, I'm looking into getting the full air ride suspension kit for my 59 parisienne from ridetech (control arms, sway bars, everything) but the salesman says they are different from the impala. This goes against everything I know about Canadian Pontiacs but I figured I'd check with the real exper...

Hi Again, Me again. I was hoping to be celebrating Canada Day by heading out on my trip, but the car is not highway worthy. Wheel alignment techs won't attempt an alignment until ball joints are replaced. Uppers are especially playful. I found an old car mechanic willing to take on my car and try to get m...

After nearly 60 years my springs are naturally somewhat shorter than when new, although they still work fine and are unbroken. In order to bring the stance back to looking good I fitted spring adjusters. That did the trick but, although she still glides along, it seems as if the ride is more firm. ...

Thanks for the add to the Pontiac Forum. I've recently purchased a 1960 Parisienne with a very nice patina finish. I plan to keep it the way it is with no major upgrades other than front disc brakes and minor engine upgrades.

Since the chief is getting a body off restoration, i`m rebuilding the suspension. I`m understanding that `58 Chevy parts are the ones i need. Would that apply to new rubber control arm bushings, rear control arm bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, etc? It`s going to get disc brakes in the front, even...

Does anyone know the original tire size for 1963 Pontiac Parisienne convertible

Pritch · Pritch

I am looking for recommendations for a replacement radiator for my '64 CS. About 10 years ago, I had a local rad shop rebuild my original to a 3 row. It has now developed a slow leak, and I suspect that the time has come to replace it. I am running a 500hp, 396 stroked Dart engine coupled with a factory 4 spe...

I would like to convert my 58 over to disc brakes, front. Has anybody got suggestions on what is the best way to go with for parts. My local used parts dealer says he can set me up with needed parts to do the job. Also, am I smart to stay with the 14" rear drum or go with a 15" Thanks

I have to buy new rear brake hoses for my 64. Problem is, two different lengths are available - 14 1/4 inch and 15 1/4 inch - anyone know if I can measure mine without removing them and if so where do I measure to and from? That is, is the dimension their actual length as supplied or that which is visible...
