I don't mean to question what you are asking for but are you sure it's a Catalina, not a Parisienne or Laurentian?
Same body styles, Catalina is from America, Parisienne & Laurentian is from Canada. I only ask because I'm thinking if you used the Canadian names on this forum, you might not get an answer - because a lot of our American friends know hardly anything about the Canadian cars. In my experiance anyway.. Parisienne's & Laurentian's were shipped as new cars to New Zealand and sold there in small numbers. A Catalina would have been a private import. If its a Canadian car, I have some contacts for you. If its a true Catalina, I'll leave any advice to others with more knowledge than me. Cheers Ian

Ditto on Scarebird. I put his disc conversion kit on my 65 Cat and it was easier then changing the brake shoes.

Hiya John
We've got a place near Byron Bay at Salt on the Tweed Coast. Don't get there often enough unfortunately. Took the Impala to Wintersun back in 2009. |

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.
