hello, does anyone out there know approx. how many 67 cats came with a 4 speed bench seat? also the block is stamped WY i cant find any info on that so if anyone can help on that also it would be appreciated.

I just found out that WY is a 400 333hp 4 barrel engine manual trans. still searching for the numbers...

hello PontiacSouth and welcome to the forums!!

One thing that may help in your search is if you send in for your PHS papers. It should break it down for you as to how many autos and how many manuals were made that year.

So where you at in Wisconsin?

I'll bet it is a pretty rare combo.

thanks for the welcome, its good to be around a bunch of pontiac nuts! I've heard about PHS but never got around to trying it. I just thought that I could get some more info on this here first.

I am going to be selling the car soon so if anyone out there wants one...
Also i have a 67 executive 4 door and a trunkload of parts that I would like to see go.

Dave, I live in Marathon about 1/2 hour north of you.

thanks for the replys!!

my first car was a '67 grand prix with a 4 spd, the 350 HP motor with 670 heads
(and the guy i sold it to is trying to sell it again in my hometown)

what heads are on yours?


if you buy PHS for it, they'll tell you how many cars came with a certain engine application
For example, 760 (i believe) came with the 350 HP big car motor

so, i'd assume just about as many came with it in your car
Note: this also includes 3 spd applications - all the motors go by are "manual transmission"

so, breaking it down to 4 spd and bench seat would probably make it one of 200 or so

at worst/best, you're looking at 1,000 or so of them with manual transmissions


big car 4 spds are fun! nothing like having to reach to grab that shifter

baron, I dont really know the heads, guessing 670 but now I'll have to look and find out. my dad has a gold 67 gp in the backyard along with his other 40 or so ponchos. its an auto trans tho. cool looking car.

thanks

In 1967 there were 211,405 Catalinas built, and only 3,653 of those had manual transmissions. That number includes both three speed and four speed transmissions. I don't know the percentage for each type, but if we assume it was half and half that means around 1,800 came with four speeds.

thanks!

Pontiac Engine Logs state that 256 WY-code engines were assembled for installation in full-sized cars in 1967. With this information, we can postulate that there were probably about 240-250 installations of this engine. This engine was the standard engine for Bonneville, and optional for other big cars.

What body style is your Cat? Almost all 4-doors were built with bench seats.

thanks for the info gtoric, the cat is a 2 door hardtop with a bench seat. with hardly any options
