Not all Pontiacs had the shim, I've put a good many of them together without it and never had any ill effects not using it. Pontiac is the only manufacturer that I have seen use a shim between the flexplate and crank flange, and I have no reasonable explanation of why they used it in some instances, and not in others.
It may have been just a way to take up for manufacturing lateral tolerances, I can't say for certain why it is used in some applications, but not all.

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.
