Under dash harness
(
1 2
)
(Preview)
What's the easiest way to access the under dash harness I'm getting sick if being upside down and need to have some finesse. Seems like my ammeter shorted out and turned the wires into lightsabers. I was looking for why my speedo lights weren't working and found it was burnt from the ammeter to about 3 i...

1969 Grande Parisienne Bucket Seats
(Preview)
Anyone out there have the details for interior trim codes for the 1969 interiors? I have seen the trim combination charts for Impala and American pontiacs. How many color choices were available for 1969 Grande Parisienne bucket seats? Was it black only?

66 parisienne bench
(Preview)
Does anyone know if the parisienne shares a common front split bench cover with a more common car? Catalina seems to be very similar? Not a restoration project just want to drive and enjoy.

Correct black paint for dash
(Preview)
Has anyone repainted a black dash on a 1966 or at least 60's GM (the metal part, not the dash pad) and found a paint that has the correct gloss to it? Years ago I used Plasti Kote T-3 Hot Rod Black and was very happy with the match but it appears that is discontinued. I'm looking for a good substitute. Most of t...

Is a 12-foot antenna wire long enough?
(Preview)
I need to replace the antenna wire that runs from behind the radio to the antenna located at the rear right fender. I found a great deal on a 12-foot wire and an approximate measurement seems like it might make it just just considering there are turns and bends as it goes under the carpeting, behind the re...

Replacing fusebox
(Preview)
Just those 2 words, "replacing fusebox" make me shudder and want to run away. However, the fusebox on the Grande Parisienne has 2 issues. 1) Most of the lettering is rubbed off, so I can't tell which fuse does what. 2) The terminals have some corrosion. When Ken owned the car I'm betting he cleaned th...

(

Hey there, I just replaced all dash and console light bulbs with LED (which surprisingly turned out to be dimmable) and noticed some issues - the very rear console light and cigaret lighter are now always on. Before the lighter was only on when the door was open or ignition is on, the rear console light -...

1966 Pontiac bench seat headrests
(Preview)
I have never seen an original 66 Pontiac bench seat headrest setup. This wagon I brought home yesterday has headrests. I don't know if they are original but I do know there was a headrest option available. Does anyone have any details on originals? Pics, data etc?

Phew, 2 day carpet swap marathon is over
(Preview)
Hey there, Phew, just finished a 2 day marathon of carpet swap and finally the correct one is installed instead of weird red one, console carpet is painted from red to black as well. Manual was funny - use your previous carpet as an outline to cut out the new one, mine was cut in a weird way and didn't match...

Power bucket seat track
(Preview)
I'm a happy camper. Found a power bucket track online for my yellow car, received it today. It was the one power option missing from the car, so now it should have every power option for a 66 Pontiac, Canadian or US model.

Voltmeter conversion question
(Preview)
Howdy folks! Over the winter I had Gary the tachman convert one of my factory ammeter gauges over to a voltmeter. He based it on 13.6 charging voltage but I forgot to let him know my alt is putting out 14.4+ being a modern conversion. My gauge is reading hard right now ( wired into 12 volt at stereo) and I am w...

W-74 and ZJ9 IP options
(Preview)
Of all my years of playing with 1969 full size cars, I never have had a Warning light package unit, The white car and the 2+2 both have this option. Pic from North Sadly, the original IP for the 2+2 is long gone. I think I have eight or more of the standard units here. I probably should have asked here first if...

ISOFIX solutions?
(Preview)
Hey there, has anyone tried to install isofix sockets of the rear sit? I have a couple of kids(1 and 4), one of which is obsessed with the car and want to be driven on it all the time. At first I installed lap belts, seems it wasn't enough for car seats, then 3 point belts, still the seats wobbling up and down...

Clear coat on translucent sections of the steering wheel?

Hey guys, I need a piece of advice. I'm restoring a steering wheel (my second time), I was lucky and my steering wheel turned out with those super cool clear sections underneath the vinyl wrapper. I restored the cracked solid sections, not problems there, but with the clear ones I'm not sure what would...

Bucket seats
(Preview)
Hey there, I have a question for Custom Sport owners regarding the front bucket seats. I'm around 188cm tall, when I mock up the seats brackets to the areas they were cut out from and move the seat all way back "my knees cover my ears". Is that normal? Or maybe there's something wrong with my bucket seats?...

69 Am Radio. FM conversion?

Had a great visit today with Randy and Kevin. As a parting gift, Randy handed me a decent 69 AM radio and an original 69 top switch. Thanks Randy. So who is the best in Canada to send this radio to for some new AM/FM guts with bluetooth? That's the plan. Get a nicely converted radio with some good speakers in...
