Ive gotten bad about brining home books, like the old interchange manuals, or fisher body manuals. Things like that.
I also like to grab the late 70s BOP Qjet cores because sometimes they can be find for next to nothing, and I like them. 4150 Holleys too, Ill buy them if they are cheap, throw a kit in them and then throw it on marketplace. Not so much to make money, but just to get parts off of shelves and back to being used.

Back in the 70's the local speed shop had a row of tri-power and six pac intakes complete with carbs for $75.00 each!

I quit going to swap meets. I end up dragging home stuff that I do not need. Never find anything that I do need....

Cover stated January 1976. I didn't think it started until the '77 model year also, which is one of the reasons I bought it.
Just looked again. A lot of the bolts listed Opel usage.

Wasn't Chevy importing the Luv pickup by the mid 70s? I faintly recall a friend buying one in 73 or 74.

The only problem is when you see something in your collection, and say ' when did I buy that,I didnt remember when I bought that' ?

Always fun to find good stuff you didn't know you had! I worked in the parts department at a Pontiac dealer from 83-90 and bought all kinds of "fun" parts. Have not looked at them for 35 years and am kind of looking forward to seeing what I have!

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.
