Looking good there Lady! Happy for you.

What was the previous owner doing, I'll just bolt half of this option on, maybe combine years for this, swap that. All fixable but does my head in. Hopefully the current paint makes a good base.

He wanted to race it back in the day, he owned it before the 90’s, life happened ,I guess, and he took it down the track once and put it away

Thanks Mr Zep, yes and no,it does have a lot of options, expect trunk pop, defog, 8track and no bird, the honeys where added, really came with rallies. At least I’m able to drive it now, I’m stuck on waiting for my radio to come back from being converted and trying to dry fit a/c unit on over the heads that have girdles, if I can’t get it on I’ll have to take them out. I’ll post phs later

Best can recall the trans dipstick tube is natural.
Like aluminized steel or galvanized steel.

Thanks for sharing the Invoice.
Its loaded up pretty well with nice stuff.

Was just a caution on the oil stuff - they don't pop off oil filters all the time.
But it's an 80 psi oil pump in these, and they pump really hard when oil is cold.

I blew the oil filter loose on my 73SD after the first oil change i did on it.
Didn't let it warm up enough before revving it some to test some other adjustments.
Was sitting still - in the carport - when it happened.
Scary and Messy , learned my lesson , never happened again.
And i drove it hard plenty of times, at full operating temp.
No worries

Another guy i know did it too, but he had used 10/w40 thinking it was a good idea for summer running.

I've used 10-40 since mine was new. Driving only in warmer weather, May- October. Seen 6200 couple of times. Though I usually shift around 5400. Used,GM filters, Lee maxi,then Fram HPs. Now NAPA gold.Never regular Frams.

Did the sd come with this vacuum delay valve?

Yes

[ladytata]

I have no clue what one looks like? Anybody have a pic, this is what I found in my shop

From 73 Assembly Manual:





Basically the bracket is horizontal on SD and vertical on regular Pontiac.
(plus on different AC bracket.)

[formula kid]

looks like the two sections of hose with the delay valve in the middle would be correct set up

[ladytata]

What does the clip look like that attaches the oil dipstick tube
to the upper a/c bracket?

[ladytata]

Yes but I believe there’s a clip that goes on here so you can screw the oil tube to the ac bracket

The AC bracket is threaded so no clip. (like the standard one does)

[ladytata]

Stand one has a clip, but you might be right on Sd. Thanks

Yes, I worded that weird.
SD AC bracket was threaded.
The standard setup had no hole in that bracket and the rear bracket had a clip for the tubing.

I purchased the SD car a couple of years ago in Indianapolis Indiana from the original owner and completely restored the car. It came complete with all the documentation, an extra set of honeycomb rims and an original tube of decals which were in the basement and unusable.
