Just checked this morning. Yes, they are "JK" wheels. I have at least 5 of those.

Does your GP have the original XH 400? I'm glad to see somebody is saving a GP and not pulling the motor to put it in a GTO.

Yes it does have the XH 400 in it. The engine came from a donor 69 GP that was too far gone for restoration. Has about 90,000 miles on it but I am hoping with a little TLC it will get me down the road for at least a few more years. Having the quadrajet rebuilt and got long branch headers to put on as well.

Those are correct for both '69 GP and Firebird. If looking to sell, post them in the G Body and Firebird parts for sale sections and I'm sure you'll get someone that wants them. You may also want to post the date codes as well, these are the stamped numbers to the left (month) and right (day) of the valve stem hole. They should be an easy sell to someone within driving distance from you. Shipping them can be costly and may be more difficult to sell that way.

Thanks, That is good to know. I will probably post a set for sale. Any suggestions as to a reasonable asking price for a set of these rims in this condition?

In post number 12 of this thread, the picture of your newly painted engine, it sure looks like the pulleys don't line up. I'd have to say wrong water pump also if that's the case.

Its been a long winter but I am back at it now trying to get the grand prix running and in shape for the summer. I purchased a new engine wire harness and I am unable to identify where 2 wires attach. The green wire and the black wire with a white stripe pictured. Both come out near the alternator. I am thinking the green wire attaches to a temp sensor on the intake manifold but it does not fit. Any help would be welcome! I was hoping PY would send something telling me where everything hooks up considering many old cars have had some creative wiring done so you cant necessarily copy that. Thanks

The green wire is the temp sending unit, if it doesn't fit your sender you need to replace it with a blade style sending unit. The black w/white stripe is for an "idle stop solenoid". If it's not required on your car, tuck it back into the harness. Dave
