1969 - What's special about four speed carpet?
(
1 2
)
(Preview)
I'm a long way from ordering carpet, but I noticed Classic Industries sells a whole interior kit but it has a note "Call if four speed as it requires a special carpet, not listed". And if I check my parts book, I can find only green and black carpets for four-speeds, I can't even FIND the red carpet part nu...

Rubber boots and retainers for '69 four speed
(Preview)
I think there are three rubber pieces I need - an outer boot, a shifter boot, and a reverse lockout rod boot. But then there are retainer rings too. Some of this I have, some I likely don't. Does anyone know of a good diagram for the "soft parts" between the transmission and the car, like the boots and reta...

GM B-Body Trivia
(Preview)
More than 13,000,000 cars were built on the 65-70 GM B-Body platform. It is the third best selling platform of all time behind the Beetle and Model T. There's a Lada up there too but I don't know how Russians count cars!

Wiring loom 68 Parisenne RHD 4dr
(Preview)
Hi all I have seen new complete wiring looms interior, engine bay, dash etc available for various GM cars but does anyone make them for a 68 Parisienne 4dr. I am thinking since I have gone this far with the resto the last thing I need is problems with 50 year old wiring. I will definitely need to change the f...

F41 Panhard bar questions
(Preview)
So somewhere (I think Impala forums) I read all this voodoo that supposedly applied to odd-sizing the panhard bar on the F41 cars. I looked at the bushings that came out of my F41 panhard bar and, given they are the same vintage as the rest of the bushings, I assume them to be original. They appear to be...

Here's another reason not to graft wires into your headlights
(Preview)
I did this once 30 years ago too... and it kept tripping the autoreset headlight breaker, so I got smarter and wired them separately. But on the 2+2 I'm restoring they not only destroyed the grill with the brackets to mount them, they overloaded the headlight circuit and you can see the melted connecto...

New on 1969Pontiac.com: Spring Option Weights by RPO
(Preview)
I put together the table they used to pick your springs. This was done by computer for the build sheet but the parts book has a table you can use to achieve the same results. Of course we have nowhere near the selection of springs still available, but it's interesting nonetheless. http://1969ponti...

New on 1969Pontiac.com: F41 Suspension Details
(Preview)
I tried to research what makes my 1969 F41 suspension unique by looking for all special parts related to it in the parts book. Here's what I found! http://1969pontiac.com/1969-F41-Suspension.html I'd repost it here but it's lots of pictures and some HTML so easier just to link in this case.

Erased my fuesebox labels!
(Preview)
Was casually cleaning my wiring harness, wiped the fusebox with a cloth, and all the printed labels came off! I think it's been damp for a long time perhaps, but they're gone either way. I was thinking I could make new labels out of dry-transfer rubon (pencil transfers) in silver, but what other optio...

Here's my original tuneup sticker. Looks like it should be code "CJ", which is is. This decal is reproduced commonly as DC447 if you want it!

Gold 1969 2+2 in Regina? Eric?
(Preview)
Back in the mid-80s to 90s there was a fairly informal car show in Regina, Sask, called "Collectors Car Show and Shine" or similar. I had my black Laurentian there in about 1985 and I saw what was at that time (and might still be!) the nicest '69 2+2 I've ever seen. It was gold, a hardtop, and I'm pretty su...

1969 2+2 427 M40 LS1 Rag Top

Hey all, I spotted this late last summer at a car show in Rimbey, Alberta. I talked to the owner & he has plans to restore the car one day. But until then he just drives and enjoys what he has. I don't blame him, it a pretty good looking ride. I've seen this car in the past, and posted pic's on this site. But...

Got my title/plates/registration

Well I'll spare you all the really long and horrible story of trying to get a Washington State title (and license plates) for my 2+2 that I bought from Alberta. But it was multiple trips to 3 different DMV offices, the State Patrol, calling my Congressman, and emailing with the Director of Licensing....

How does all this connect up to the fusebox?

(Preview)
If anyone has a '69 power window convertible, I'd love to compare notes! Or I'll also accept wild guesses. The Convertible Top and the Power Windows both need IGN power. I assume that might be what the 3-1 splitter is about. But what's with the red thing, and why does it block access to whatever port i...

Marker lights!

Eric sent me a clear, so I named my firstborn after him (it's true!). Then I had one NOS red and found a second, and I had one good clear. Combined with 3 of my original bezels plus the spare that Eric sent I now have a full set! I think I said Clint earlier but Clint sent me sway bar parts and they arrived the...

OER vs NOS Steering Wheel in Red
(Preview)
I had already ordered a reproduction red OER steering wheel when someone graciously gave me a heads-up that a real NOS unit was up on eBay, which I grabbed. It sure looked bright red though. And it is. Then both arrived, and here is what I've learned, and it's a little confusing. The NOS wheel I have is...

These were on my 'unanswered' section, thought I'd raise them here. The A: is my guess, but I might be wrong. --- Q: Was reverb available in 1969 Canadian Pontiacs? A: John? Q: If you ordered both speed warning and lamp warning group, was there a cluster with both? A: The face is available only with or...

Wiring harness restoration Q
(Preview)
I'm about to start restoring some of my harnesses, and I measured, documented, and then started to remove the tape from the driver's door harness. I was expecting it to be wrappped in that non-adhesive vinyl tape, but it's more like hockey tape. And I think it was adhesive because it leaves black sti...

1969 Rear Door Dome Light Trivia
(Preview)
I was looking through the wiring diagrams and noted that the door pins for the rear doors on four-doors are Grande Parisienne only. If I recall correctly North said in the US it was standard only on the Bonneville, so makes sense.
