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.

Guys, Any thoughts or ideas on a good supplier for a new headliner? Any actual experiences with replacing one? Need a new one for the 65 2 door sedan. Basketweave pattern, light blue. I have an installer lined up, just need the liner. The 2 door sedan liner is unique onto itself. A HT or 4 door sedan won't w...

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...

Just found some blue seat belts for my Parisienne! But of course there is a small problem, Here goes, the passenger side retractor has spun the steel shaft inside the plastic bushing, the shaft has a raised knurled part that should fit tight but alas it is loose. Easy to fix with a new or good used plasti...

I'm planning on redoing the dash in my 70 2+2 convertible next spring. I had a dash re-dyed last fall, and have a good cluster surround, but the woodgrain on my heater control has seen better days. The woodgrain is always cracked, and while I have one that's not cracked, it's very discolored. So the hu...

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

So I always suspected the speedometer showed way too low on my car. This afternoon I confirmed it now that I have a tach.

Anybody have a strato bench...
