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. The Rallys wiring is likely unique to the USA car, athough it is possible Canadian Cars w...

Been busy working on a few other projects and my 65 convertible has been sitting for quite awhile and now I am back to paying some attention to it. Finally getting around to installing am- fm radio and rear speaker switch in the 65 which i have had for years. The wiring harness has been cut and I am trying to...

On the 65-66 B Body Sedans there is a pressboard panel that just kind of hangs off the sail structure and rear bow. The headliner coming down doesn't at all contact it. Any idea what they are for? Would be useless as a sound deadener or any kind of insulation. Could it be as just a protection panel to keep r...

Anyone replace it? My 65 post was missing it. I bet it crumbled when the rear window was replaced and they never bothered with it. So I see they are readily available in black, at what seems to be a ridiculous price for two pieces of molded plastic and a center joining piece. But you obviously have little c...

Looking for some good images of the 65-66, 2 door sedan interior rear window trim. As to how the trim sits in the corners, the surround and joining top clip. Any help appreciated. Would like to see how it all sits. My 65 was missing all but one corner of it. Anyone know if the 4 door sedan was the same trim?...

Is the 65 B vent supposed to have another clipped on passenger side deflector? Looks like there is a provision for it to the right side of the deflector. If yes, does anyone have one?

So now I've reached a biggie (at least in my mind). Doing the headliner in my 65. I'll try to document this one the best I can, as it might actually be useful to others. Once done the headliner, glass in, the car can get it's safety and be finally put on the road! Still a ways away yet, I still have to pull the b...

I was a fellows house tonight buying a 64 Beaumont console and the fellow had this for sale also, he said he thinks it was for a 66 Parisienne. So I took a chance and bought it also, can anybody confirm what it is and maybe tell me what its worth.

There was some talk that I should install shoulder belts in my 65 Sedan. It makes sense to do it at this time as the headliner and carpet are out. And I do understand the importance of them in a 65 without having even a collapsible steering column. There is no good reason not to do it. I just want to start a thr...

I have pulled the dash cluster out of the '69, to convert the ammeter gauge in the rally cluster. In addition, I thought I would put #168 LED's in the cluster. I know someone has done this before and posted on here, I thought it was Mark (Cdnpont), but it wasn't. My question is how do I determine polarity of...

So, when I restored the interior on my 69 2+2, I installed an NOS trim plate that mounts on the instrument cluster. It had the factory adhesive tape on it, and over the last few years, has lifted off at the edges. I removed it and cleaned the adhesive off the cluster and the trim piece. I am ready to reinstal...

Random question, but I want to do some number stenciling on my 69 2+2 which I converted to the US rally gauges. I am converting the ammeter to a volt meter and want to stencil some reference numbers on the face. So, does anyone know the type font name that was used for the speedometer numbers?

Hey guys, Need some help/advice on this one. I went to push the button for the washer/wiper to go on. And everything from behind fell out? It looks like a pin came out, and so the button is pushed in and the knob just spins... Do I have to take the whole dash off? how do I assemble what fell out back together? ...

I've replaced the upper bearing in the 65 column, and there is at least 1/8 of up and down play in the wheel now. Looking at the shaft as it passes up through the bearing, it's tight on the inner race, the outer race is seated in the switch housing solid as well. The bearing is super sloppy between the races....
