Only the rear of the two holes goes through to the interior of the timing cover. I don't know which years, but some Pontiac V8's used 3/8-16 bolts instead of 5/16-18.
I strongly recommend checking the timing chain slack with your fingers while the pump is off. If it's acceptably tight, put a piece of tape or stuff a rag in the fuel pump actuator hole catch chips. You can tap 3/8-16 threads without drilling the hole any larger. Grease in the flutes of the tap will insure a clean cut and avoid chips falling inside the cover. .

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.
