I've traced both clusters and have made up two diagrams of the plug wiring. The first shows the original 1969 Full size Pontiac standard instrument cluster configuration, with the Rally cluster to the right.

On a 65/66, between the full deluxe pad (reaches the base of the windshield) and the base (reaches just to the speaker grille), what if any differences are there in mounting? Will the full pad simply fit over the metal portion of the base dash? Or is that portion missing from the deluxe dash? Any thought...

Is there a trick to removing a 65 B Heaterbox without removing the fender, or pulling open the wheel tub? I'd heard somewhere of people drilling out the 2 impossible box bolts from the interior side. Is this a viable method? Mark

There's been some talk over the years how the ammeters in the Pontiacs are a fire hazard. They run live current, unfused and apparently can occasionally cause a fire, or maybe even just a melted harness if you're lucky. I've been especially nervous about it in the last few years since I bought my Strato...

So I always suspected the speedometer showed way too low on my car. This afternoon I confirmed it now that I have a tach. I measured the circumference on my tire by rolling the car on flat ground and did the calculation. Because I know my gear ratio it was easy to figure out and I double checked this with the...

In other words, if I took the entire seat backs with headrests off a set of bucket seats, would those seat backs be perfectly suitable to bolt on to the Strato Bench seat bottom? Next question. Anybody have a strato bench...

I enjoy when guys post up pics and details of their projects. I figured I'd try to return the favour. The project is quite basic, replacing the lower column bearing but for some reason it intimidated me slightly. No need for that, I have it all apart now and it appears to be an easy job. I'll post some pics o...
