The easiest way would be to find the window sticker, build sheet or PHS documentation. If you're trying to identify it on the car, you'll find either 15x8 aluminum snowflakes or Turbo style wheels(79 10th Anniv or 80-81). Also look for urethane front sway bar end links or the .750" rear sway bar. Measure the bar by taking a string and go around it(diameter), lay the string flat and measure it. Take that measurement divided by 3.14 and you'll either have something close to .625" or .750" Without factory documentation, it's kind of hard to tell otherwise. They'll have the 14:1 constant ratio steering as well.

Another clue is the round metal braces that connect the rear mount of the lower control arm bracket to the frame. These braces are approximately 4 inches long and are visible from underneath the car.

Mike, is that for sure? I know the body tags all had "WS4" on the T/A's but I was never aware of "WS6"

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
