I used an "E-Z" wire kit for my 1931 Chevy. The guys at Doc`s Rod Shop made a very good point. With a correct color-coded wiring kit, black, blue, and brown all look the same when you`re broke down...

I also think 69-70 were the same, but didn`t 71 start with a bit of a curve in the back window? I don`t think a 69-70 roof will fit a later model.

That`s pretty! Looks like Verdoro green? My `69 is also Verdoro green, but with a black top. I do love all GPs 69 to 77, but I am biased towards the sexy starter of that body line...LOVE those 69s!

Check the "parts" section on Charlie`s 69 GP site.
http://www.users.fast.net/~blazer/
It`s a pretty nice site for Grand Prix lovers, and usually has a decent assortment of parts available.

My `69 Grand Prix does the same thing. When you switch the wipers off, they go down, but then continue to "jump" up & down until the fuse is pulled.
So...can this internal switch be replaced, or...

Right, but the M-22 was known as the "rock Crusher" wasn`t it? The M-21 was a sort of mid-range, and the M-20 was the standard, is this correct? Also, you say M-22 wasn`t in 60`s Pontiacs, but didn`t...

Maybe I`m not too far out there, then! The 389 sits on a stand for re-build while a 400 is in the (`66) goat "for now". `31 Chevy sits in the corner with no engine, think that 400 may fill the...

About Us

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.
