The service manual, chapter 2, has a diagram showing what mounts and bolts go where according to model. The mounts and bolts are listed by part number or color or no ID at all depending on model year. The narrative lists the length of bolts, again, depending on model year. Note that for 66 and 67, 14 mounts not including the core support, are called out
Example. For the 66/67 Tempest, two different bolts are used. 7/16'-14 x 2 3/16" (Position 3) and 7/16"-14 x 2 3/8" (All others). Also note that the 67 manual has a misprint regarding bolt location. Short bolt always goes to #3.

Didn't think of looking in the service manual. Thanks for jarring my brain. Very helpful!

we each would have an extra biscuit but close enough. Only snafu is the shorter bolts needed for under drivers door.

That sounds good. Does the kit include the small diameter for position #3?

no all are same size.
Someone said they did a little trimming on the inner part and it fit. But as you now know you need a bit shorter bolt.

UPDATE
just got off phone with buddy doing same thing on his 65 wagon His OEMs were all same size,but under front seat ones have the shorter bolts with no washer. All 14 are same size in his OEMs and his kit. He didnt get any hardware as his was great. So no worries on the biscuits,just need to shorten a couple bolts

I was sent this picture from buddy this AM.
It shows new bushings but all the hardware is OEM the 2 shorter bolts that go under the front seat area have no built in washers, and use a smaller OD flat washer (size displayed in latest pic). The other 12 bolts are longer and have built in washers,and also have larger flat washers. Those are identical to the ones I got with my kit. I tried to rotate pic but this site has no way to do this.

I spoke with the tech dept. at Ames Performance this morning. He said S382AA would be the correct kit including the smaller mounts for position #3. He also measured the bolt length in kit S382BA and they are the correct bolt styles and length. So I went ahead and ordered them and will keep my fingers crossed until I have them in hand. Hopefully everything is correct. Thanks for all the help.

They just havent got it figured out. I will gladly spend a little more to get rubber stuff made in USA. It may not be any better but past experiences says to me its worth the effort

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.
