Hi guys I noticed that a 66 Grande Prix dash is on ebay right now. Do you guys know if a Grande Prix dash is an exact fit for a Canadian Pontiac dash? My speedometer is peeling a bit of it's paint and I understand the Grande Prix dashes had real woodgrain not the fake stuff so I'm kind of tempted, althoug...

I'd like to see a picture of the switch, specifically the knob on it. I am also wondering if it's the same for Beaumont. Thanks.

Would anyone here happen to have a shot of a 69' vintage, Impala or CP rear power window regulator? I'm not sure if ragtop or HT are the same though. Cheers, Mark. -- Edited by cdnpont at 12:48, 2008-11-12

Just recieved a very heavy and well packaged parcel from Pascal (Pontorquer) in Manitioba. It's the complete power window setup from his 70' Bonny ragtop he's parting. He also threw in the rear armrest courtesy lamps, switch and wiring, and a rear speaker grille. I went ahead and tested all the mot...

I'm getting ready to re-dye some of my interior panels and dash. What is the best stuff to use, and how is it done properly? Can custom colours be mixed? Cheers, Mark.

I am trying to get the 67 2+2 ready to go to the final S & S of the year. It now runs but over the past week it keeps blowing the 10 amp fuse on the guage/back-up light circuit. This has been an intermittent problem. I have used the accessory spade from this circuit to power the Tach, Oil Pressure Guage and...

I put an internally regulated 3 wire alternator on my 62 Parisienne in place of the generator when I swapped the six for a V8. I followed a Chevy wiring diagram for a car without an ammeter. It works - charges 14+ volts under load, but the factory ammeter doesn't read properly, plus I think I'm getting a d...

Since I have the cluster out of my Laurentian, I felt now was a good time to remove that center dash speaker and convert to stereo speakers. Here is the original 40 year old speaker: Utilizing the original bracket for that speaker, I mounted to Audiovox units I picked up at Princess Auto for a whopping $3...

I wanted to put a modern sound system in the Laurentian but didn't want a modern deck in the factory radio hole (the 8 track player is too cool to remove!). I thought about mounting a deck in the glovebox but that would be a pain as these cars are too wide to reach the glove box easily from the drivers seat. Wh...

Tonight I started my latest project: Swapping my idiot light cluster with a gauge cluster. Two hours later I had the cluster out. It was a b**ch to remove! I had to remove the steering column bolts to provide clearance to get the trim bezel out. Even though I protected my column with masking tape, I still...

I was working under dash area of 66 Pontiac, and noticed my gas guage is reading upside down ( again) and if I move the steering column, the interior lights and underdash guages, flicker and get dimmer or brighter, depending on which way I move column.. There doesnt seem to be a ground strap anywhere on c...

I finally got to cleaning out the trunk of the Laurentian tonight. I'm sure the spare was one of the original tires! I installed my "new and improved" redline spare (NOS thanks to Ken Leblanc) and a new rally wheel from Coker. All I need now is a trunk mat and I'm set. There was quite a bit of 1978...

O.K. I have a '66 Grande Parisienne and cannot remove the upper dash panel.

I am working on a '66 Grande Parisienne and am puzzled about how my courtesy lights are working.
