The fact that you have a vinyl top going on here, we're assuming this is a T/A clone-- but with the vinyl top. I have never seen a real T/A with a vinyl top, nor can I find any reference to one on a T ... |

Don't know if you've done any searches, but there seem to be a lot to choose from.
S&J Engines in Spokane, WA has a lot to offer on the 301s: https://www.sandjengines.com/searchproducts/rebuilt ... |

The good news is that the wiper motor is working. The bad news is that perhaps something is binding forcing the wipers to think they have reached full travel and returning to the park position. Those ... |

Thanks for the heads-up. This one looks pretty beat up with broken bars, etc.
I have a good one that I had replated many years ago (before they got to $1000.00 per side). I have cleaned it up real ... |

These are rarer than hen's teeth today. I am experiencing the same with my '40 Pontiac. There are just no more old Pontiac parts dealers around today, and if they were, these sort of items are probabl ... |

I see the lenses are reproduced but have not found any of the housings. Have you check with Frank's Pontiac Parts if he has some good used ones? |

It appears that the carb switch is available from a number of places (when Google searching), however, almost any plunger-type switch should work. Just be sure it is a normally open at rest switch and ... |

Here's something pretty cool- a letter right from PMD answering a fellow's question about '74 Firebird Formula SD455 production figures. That 1979 date puts it back to a time when you could actually g ... |

It was obviously a promotional item. There is a place called Time Kings Watch Designs (TimeKings.com) that has many promotional watches. Although it doesn't list Pon ... |

BTW, the 8 was not optional. The only ... |

This is odd.
A 2511 is in fact a 2-door sedan 6-cylinder. The 8-cylinder cars were 27 models.
