As stated above, the first thing you want to see is the VIN on the dash. Should be 242. Check the ID plate under the hood for the same thing 24237. It's right in front of the driver's side of the windshield, behind the brake booster.
This site ought to keep you entertained over the weekend until you can get to the car. Pay special attention to the links "Engine Identification" and "Pontiac Part Numbers". The "Engine ID" link will show you exactly where to look for the various codes and the "Pontiac Part Numbers" link will decipher what you find when you do find them. http://www.teufert.net/

You can check the intake part number and carb application if you wish. The carbs are a little harder to identify. Someone else can help you I'm sure. You can also check the casting dates, but if the block vin and the casting/part numbers are correct, they are probably the correct parts. If you find a nonoriginal intake or carb, you can eventually find the correct part so don't let that kill the deal if you really like the car.
Also, the intake part number for the 68 400 Firebird changed at mid-year. I'm unsure if the GTO's did or not. But if something looks incorrect, don't jump to conclusions. I was confused about the intake part number for a while before I bought my car since most parts lists did not list the second intake part number. Post more questions when you have them. Good luck!

In this age of fake (the PC term is "cloned"
 ), GTO's and Judges, I recommend NOT buying any GTO without first running the PHS. Small investment that could potentially save you from getting taken advantage of and losing thousands of $$ by buying lesser car at a GTO/Judge price tag.If it were me, I don't think I would tell the seller I was going to run the PHS - just get the VIN and do it. If he is trying to rip you off, he may play some games if he knows you are going to find him out. That's the cynic in me speaking (typing). You may even find out that the car is somewhat rare (based on the options, drivetrain, etc), unbeknownst to the seller - I wouldn't tell him that either  Just my opinion. Good luck to you. Gary

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.
