Pulled the engine out and took it to Jim Pickett for some upgrades and to find out why there was a serious drop in oil pressure.

I swapped out the rear lower control arms on the 1971 Catalina Freeway Enforcer so I could remount the 7/8" rear bar the PO had removed and swapped out the arms with ones that didn't have mounting holes for the mounting brackets for the rear Bar. The new arms were a NOS Kit that was intended for the recall on the 91-96 Caprice's with the 9C1 Police package or Taxi cabs. They were breaking the rear control arms at the 4 smaller holes used to mount the rear sway bar mounting brackets inside the C section of the arms. The upgraded arms use 2 thru bolts to mount the Bar thru the control arms upper surface. They use spacer around the bolts, and small plates that overlap the lower control arms. Comparing the 2 control arms, the only functional difference I could find was the distance between the front and rear bushings was 1mm longer hole center to hole center on the new arms. This was probably the easiest control arm swap I have ever done but as stated the PO had swapped them out about 25-30 years ago, and the car has less than 35K original miles on it, even if it is a rust belt car.
And while I was there I took the time to clean up the large 12" finned rear drums, even though you can not see them with the wheels installed.

Got my wiring diagram in hand, multimeter and labels and heading back out into the garage to start making heads or tails on the wiring mess in my 67 GTO. Also waiting on my remanufactured gauges for the dash pod.

If you got some holiday funds early, an American Autowire upgrade harness is a migraine saver.
https://www.summitracing.com/parts/a.../gto/year/1967 I used one on my 71; top notch. No chasing corroded contacts and bad splices. |

Spent a little time on the wiring (long way to go) but decided to go ahead and wash and cleanup my 62.

After an extended cold spell, it hit 51 degrees outside today so my little space heater added enough to take a chance with 2K epoxy and aerosol black. Same heater is helping them cure in my deluxe drying rack.

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.
