I have 1000000's of those screws in both tek & sharp point. I've been wanting to put some fastener kits together (in both original plain, zinc & SS) for these cars & others but have just never gotten around to it...
 Considering how many 70-73 original cars have been dissected by 70RAlll (Bill), I would like to hear what he has to say on this subject 1st before passing final verdict on the matter

Looks like I found the right ones at Napa. At least the flat, ridged, head resembles the posted photos. These should work well.

You found the exact ones I referred to in my message, oddly enough, only place I ever came across them auto-store wise was NAPA.

Hit it with a sledgehammer like the vintage ad to test it!

I thought it was a crow bar in the TV ad?.
Anybody have an NOS one? It would be a great conversation piece to carry around. ;-) |

Went for another ride today, this time around 5 miles or so. Noticed my 2008 refurbished tach wasnt reading right - When it's reading 3500 in third gear and you downshift into second, it should go up, not stay at the same rpm. Seems like the tach wont rev above 3500. I hung a Sun tach on the cowl and it functions properly. I contacted the company by email and we'll see if the will recheck it under a warranty.
I was wondering if anyone has experience with the OER repro tach. It appears to be listed for 73-75 Firebirds. Wondering if it is compatable for 72s as well since they are also the 2-wire design and they look exactly the same, face-wise. Don't really need the clock since mine works, but there is no way to buy it without the clock. Part# RFI394B from our host Anyone have any experience with the OER unit?

Steve, if they don't fix it mack sure that you post WHO THEY ARE so we all can stay away from a company that provides that kind of customer service.

My guess is that Steve has had his dash bezel restored by Randy Coombs. When Randy started doing these I believe he was using a larger diameter tool which made bigger circles. Since then I understand that Randy has perfected these and they match better.
I could be wrong though! Steve?

No resto on the dash panel, other than by me. That is the original factory metal finish. All I did was strip off the original yellowed clear coat with lacquer thinner and then recleared it.

I checked on the pricing of the repro gauge. The cheapest I could find was at classic industries with their 20% off coupon that is good til 03/31. But I just refuse to purchase anything from them anymore with their obscene shipping charges. Do they really believe anyone is going to pay $32.95 plus $2.50 mandatory insurance to ground ship something the size and weight of a Nerf ball from CA to NJ? Will they ever learn? BTW, it cost me $11 to ship my gauge back for repair via Fedex! Last edited by njsteve; 03-29-2010 at 07:34 PM. |

There was a write up in the HPP June 2010 (current) mag in the Pontiac Tech section on this. Their source; www.autoinstruments.com
Might be worth a try if they hassle you on the warranty thing. SDD

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.
