65-70 Full Size Body Tech Forum

4SPEED427 · 4SPEED427

There was a thread with discussion on where to locate emblems on a particular vehicle. Todd has suggested that there be a section in each of the separate forums for particular models, so I will start one in each of those sections. If you are able to assist with specs on body emblem placement for the model...

Painting a 1970 Parisienne convertible. Anyone know if you can access the retaining nuts on the inside of the front fender by moving the inner fender. They are the 350È V style emblems and they have retaining nuts for sure!

Anyone have a nice, left rear 2 bulb tail lamp housing for a 65 big car ? Looks like this, galv stamping? Sorry about the image size. Stolen internet image , side unknown. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Mark.

I have a pair of horns on my 65, and both are now dead. Has anyone here successfully opened and repaired one? If so, how did you get it back together after cutting the rivets? Barring no repair on mine, does anyone have a pair laying around that they might part with? They don't have to be 65. Thanks, Mark

I recently replaced the windshield washer pump on the 68 Grande and I thought it was working properly. However, yesterday I was caught driving in a serious downpour, first time the Grande had been exposed to water in 4 years and I turned on the tiny little windshield wipers to clear the windshie...

In laying underneath my 65 today something struck me as odd. The fuel tank looks significantly smaller than I remember the 67-69 being. Were they smaller in that year? Also, I cant see any strap holes further forward on the trunk braces, so this size must have been all there was?

My fuel tank on my 65 looks to be in good condition...on the outside, but I know it'll probably be filled with 55 years of who knows what. Is it possible to drain it out and flush it with some product to at least make it decently clean? One thing that might be of benefit, the sender on the 65/66 sits directly o...

Can anyone tell me on which dimple the ground straps mount on the firewall on a 65? And the short strap from body to frame? There are multiple unused dimples on the firewall, but they differ in position from my 67 where it's straps are located. Cant find it in a 65 assembly manual. I now know the straps come...

I figure I'll kind of document the repair as it comes along. Every car probably suffers some form of this. Got the hard sealer out from around the window. Looks like the glass has been out, and an attempt to reseal it was done, evidenced by the sticky sealer. Along with some very poor epoxy repair towards...

Just PSA for the 65 guys. Remember this... There are 12 bolts holding in each grille. 4 along the top 4 along the bottom 2 at the headlamps And 2 studs inboard at the nose with speednuts. I removed all the bolts and nuts, but the grill, although now loose, was still trapped with no way out. Pondered it fo...

Anyone here have a genuine Canadian Pontiac 1965 AM antenna for sale? One that would have been front fender mounted. There is a cheesy aftermarket antenna in place on my 65, and obviously the hole was drilled, and it was added later as the car came with a radio delete plate. So it's all garbage. I'm not up...
