76 motor mounts......geessh
Thats it for a few days. I've done this once before on another 76 TA w/ a 455 - was an ass-whipping then, but got it done.
I shopped around and bypassed the thinner pioneer mounts and picked up some heavier anchor mounts. Sneaking under the subframe w/ the a-arm in place to put the mounts in is not the easiest, but very doable. NOW, getting the long bolts to start though the block mount and into the rubber in the frame mount is hard, but getting it all the way through and to the back end, straight - well, I've wasted enough time on this for now. What a joke. |

Doesn't look like the engine mount is all the way down?

The quality on those Anchor mount pads (75-81 Pontiac V8) is ALL OVER the map.
It appears that there are at least 3 different suppliers to Anchor on these. The mount pad in your picture sits slightly above flush on crossmember due to the rivets that hold mount together are NOT flush with bottom plate of mount.(they protude about 1/8") This is likely WHY you can't get the bolt started in the nut. I've run into this before & it can be a PITA to get those long bolts through,but it can be done. When you purchase these mounts,make sure that you get ones that have flush rivets & avoid the ones that say "made in India" like the plague. |

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.
