Straight or Molded Shaker Drain?
If you have an original, what do you have straight or molded?

Now we're on the RIGHT TRACK!
If you have a 403 T/A,(original & unmolested) tell us if your shaker drain is molded OR straight. |

There's a red 69K mile original 79 TA with 403 on eBay that has a curved one. Here's a pic from the auction.

Drain hoses were discussed on TAC. It appears the cars with CC (like the one in the above pic) came with the curved hoses.

Mine disappeared before I bought it. Go figure.

79 T/A 403 (NO cruise control)
I don't think cruise control was a factor.
I believe ALL 403 T/A's got the BENT DRAIN HOSE! |

My current 1979 403 car spent its entire life in California (and all but 1 yr in my family). It has cruise control and it has the bent drain hose.

My cars (that have the hose) Have straight ones. All 400 engines. Could it be a olds/pont thing?

CA designated cars were 403's, right? I know they were 78 & 79, But were they in 77 as well?

1977 is where the whole Olds motor in Firebird thing started.
As I understand it,ALL T/A's sold in California in 1977,78 & 79 came with 403 Olds with airpumps. The 79 state 79 403 didn't require an air pump. 77 CA SE could also possibly be CAN AM. That's why I asked what motor,as they could have had a 403 in them as well. I actually have a 77 Esprit (obviously Norwood built) with a 350 Olds/with air pump. It was sold NEW in California.I guess that's all they would let them have. |

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.
