Unfortunately, as you see, the assembly drawing will reference part numbers but you will not find a complete description. For example, I circled a bolt and washer (#19 and #3) along with their PNs. It's hard to read, but I think the bolt is PN 9428480...best guess. The washer is PN 9798965, again a best guess.



What I have done in the past is pull the part numbers off the drawing, then search for them on the AMK web site. They do a fair job referencing original part numbers but between the poor assembly drawing and AMK not covering everything, it's a crap shoot at best. When AMK doesn't cross-reference, check their Pontiac kits. They often substitute with the same size and you can guess based on their description.

And just to illustrate how difficult this can be, AMK doesn't recognize those two PNs... which turns this into a real scavenger hunt.

I think others on PY have old GM Parts catalogs that would describe those two (an all other) parts sufficient for you to figure out which of your bolts matches.

If there are specific questions, maybe post them to narrow the scope a little?

I did do what you recommended before posting my question. I looked at diagram #s and then got the part #s from the side bar and searched them up. Unfortunately they didnt come up with much when I did that to help.


My specific question was written in the last two sentences of my original post. There are 4 big washers included in my hardware that I am unsure about. I know im supposed to start with the brackets on the top of my picture and attach them directly to the rear body. I assume the 4 big washers get installed with them? And if they do......do they go between the bracket and body OR do the get installed between the bolt and bracket.

Sorry for the confusion.
