Use caution. 1965 Parisiennes, while styled like U.S. Pontiacs, were dimensioned and equipped like U.S. Chevrolets. The wheelbase on a '65 Bonneville was 123", I think. I don't believe that was the wheelbase on the '65 Parisienne, but that was 40 years ago. That said, when Pontiac dropped the full-size car in the very early 1980s and had to come back with a replacement ASAP, they brought the Parisienne back directly, with name, all dimensions and everything else the same. But by then, the car was equipped with "GM" engines: Buick 231 V/6s and Chevy/GM Canada 305 V/8s, not the 389 or 421 V/8 on Bonnevilles vs. the 230 L6, 283 V8 or 327 V8 (and one larger?) on the Parisienne.

I'm assuming you mean static compression ratio. There were two 350 (5.7) engines offered by Pontiac. The standard engine was around 8.5 to 1. The HO version was factory rated at 10.5 to 1.

Yes. It should fit it well.

Depends on how much oil there is.

Running any four-stroke engine with low or no oil is going to cause serious damage. Connecting rods and head parts would most likely go first. Oil acts as a coolant for internal parts as well as a lubricant. Without oil to lubricate, parts will only get hotter, and without oil to cool them, bad, bad things will happen.

Ebay # 120130679027 is the complete tool. J-22232-2 is just a part of it.

Pontiac offered a package for the Parisienne called "custom sport", not super sport. This included bucket seats, a centre console w/ floor shifter and alternate trim. The base Parisienne was the same as the 65 Grand Prix sold in the U.S with trim taken from the Catalina 2plus2.

There are many ways to increase the 455 horsepower. With a cam/valve train swap and working over the heads (or replacing with aftermarket) you can be in the 500+ range. "Pontiac High Performance" is a great source for information on engine modifications.

The Chieftain was a model designation for Pontiac. As an example, Pontiac manufactured, in 1955, the Pontiac Chieftain model 870 deluxe series,which, as a 2 Dr hdtp would be called a Catalina. It had a 287 cu in V8, single exhaust, 2 bbl Rochester carb and was on a 122" wheelbase. There was 72,608 of these units made in 1955 in the USA. Canada produced a different model called the Pathfinder and Laurentian which, if was ordered with a V8 would have been the 265 cu in engine.

Hope this helps. 55 Poncho Guy

Depends on the year manufactured 1967-1970 were silver blue metallic ( A medium blue with silver metallic in the paint). Sometime in 1971 Pontiac changed to a lighter blue with no metallic in the paint. In 1973 changed again to a darker blue. Wait I just found a sight with all you need including color samples!!! http://fiedlerh.home.att.net/enginecolor.htm

Right above the oil filter on the oil filter housing.

the bolt pattern on our 1948 silver streak is 5X5" hope this is what you needed.

i think that's the car from smokey and the bandit. and the hitcher.

The 455 and 400 was an option motor in the 1972 Pontiac LeMans, yes it will fit. I'm not sure if a beefier tranny was also included?

It is worth what someone will pay. It depends of many factors so it is impossible to set a price on this car without see it.

There is no one source that establishes firm values for antique cars because their condition varies so widely due to age and use.

Your best option is to search for cars similar to your in terms of condition and mileage. Those prices should closely reflect what the market deems as the value of your vehicle. If you really want a firm number, hire an appraiser to examine your vehicle.

The air/gas mixture from the carb is drawn into the cylinder through the Inlet manifold. The inlet manifold is designed so that there is sufficient volume of air/gas to meet the engine needs at all revs. Each branch is designed to create minimum air turbulence thus allowing the intake mixture to be sufficiently abundant at high revs to prevent power tail off. The exhaust gasses are forced through the Exhaust manifold to the exhaust pipe. The exhaust manifold and exhaust system are designed to over handle the volume of exhaust gasses so that there is not a loss of power at high revs. Exhaust manifolds, helped by the cylinder firing order, have even heat dissipation to prevent cracking.

Yes, but only when you learn to write a coherent question.

5x4.75 with a low offset around +0 to +10

Actually, unless my 62 is completely different the bolt pattern is 5X5.

The Pontiac 6000 low side air-conditioner import can be found on top of the air conditioning compressor. The low side air-conditioner port will be labeled as the low pressure port.

Absorb-all. Looks like kitty litter. Sold at auto parts stores.

Dextron that not made anymore. So use the new Dex/Merc 3

the bolt pattern is 5x5 like the 1994-96 Impalas.
