These are probably the 5140 then. I do remember 2 different numbers, those are probably it. Replace the current arp bolts?

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
