How do you install a hood tach on1967-69 Pontiac GTO?
To install a hood tach on a 1967-69 Pontiac GTO, start by removing the hood to access the mounting area. Position the tachometer at the desired location, usually centered on the hood, and mark the drill holes. Drill the holes carefully, then secure the tachometer using the provided hardware. Finally, connect the tach's wiring to the ignition system, ensuring a proper ground and power connection. Reattach the hood once installation is complete.
How do you wire the starter on a 1972 Pontiac?
To wire the starter on a 1972 Pontiac, connect the battery positive terminal to the starter solenoid's larger terminal. Then, attach the smaller terminal to the ignition switch wire, which activates the solenoid when the key is turned. Finally, ensure that the ground wire is securely connected to the starter's mounting point to complete the circuit. Always consult a wiring diagram specific to your model for any additional details or variations.
Where is the daytime running light module located on a 2004 Pontiac gto?
On a 2004 Pontiac GTO, the daytime running light (DRL) module is typically located in the engine compartment, near the driver's side fender area. It is usually mounted to the body or a nearby bracket, often close to the headlight assembly. To access it, you may need to remove some components or panels for better visibility. Always refer to the vehicle's service manual for specific guidance on locating and servicing the DRL module.
What is the wheel bolt pattern for a 1969 GTO?
The wheel bolt pattern for a 1969 Pontiac GTO is 5 bolts with a 4.75-inch (or 120.65 mm) bolt circle diameter. This means there are five bolts spaced evenly around a circle with that diameter. Additionally, the thread size for the lug nuts is typically 7/16"-20. Always double-check specific vehicle details for accuracy, especially if modifications have been made.
How many cameo white with red interior 1969 GTO Judges were built?
In 1969, only about 108 Pontiac GTO Judges were produced with a cameo white exterior and red interior. The GTO Judge was a performance version of the GTO and became an iconic muscle car.

How do you replace Heater core in 1966 gto?
You must go under the hood as well as inside to get the heater core removed and replaced. I just did mime.
How do you put in a front wheel bearing in a 2006 Pontiac G6?
First of all, you will need the following.
13mm socket
14mm socket
17mm socket
36mm deep socket
3 jaw puller (to remove the hub bearing from the axle)
1/2 inch torque wrench that goes up to 160 ft/pounds
U joint extension
Short and medium socket extensions
1/2 breaker bar
New Hub bearing
After safely raising the car and removing the tire, spray some wd-40 or equivalent on the axle threads and nut. This is to clean the threads and help loosing up the nut.
Time to remove the axle nut; stick something in the rotor cooling holes to prevent it from rotating COUNTER clockwise. You may think that the parking gear on the tranny could hold the torque but why risk it. I recommend that you use a breaker bar. The nut size is 36mm.
After removing the nut, we can safely remove the caliper, caliper mounting bracket and the rotor. Be sure to prevent the caliper hang from the hose, be sure to secure it with some wire or tie wrap and tuck it out of the way.
Remove the 3 bolts securing the hub bearing to the knuckle. Be EXTREMELY careful not to damage the CV boot when doing this. The bolts are 13mm
After removing the 3 bolts, the brake shield will be loose and you can actually pull the bearing out of the knuckle. DONT HAMMER on the axle, instead work smartly and get a 2 or 3 (preferred) jaw puller. Be sure to add some lubricant to the spines to help the removal. Be sure to disconnect the ABS sensor from the knuckle before removing the bearing!!!!
Clean the knuckle for dirt and brake dust. I even a light coat of grease on the spines and on the mounting surface of the bearing to help in the install. Just a very light coat. If you overdo this, you will have grease all over the inside of the wheel and probably on the rotors. If in doubt, use some light oil.
Now time to install the new one....
Carefully snake the ABS connector thru the knuckle and axle, don't connect it yet. Align the brake shield with the holes and slide the new hub bearing. Screw the axle nut HAND TIGHT and screw the hub bearing bolts, again, be very careful when doing this!!
Also, notice that the bolts have some coloring to it. DONT REMOVE IT!!!
That is some sort or thread lock and a cool way of knowing which bolt goes.
Don't torque them yet.
Be sure that the axle is straight and there is no binding, then start torqueing the bolts in steps up to 85 ft/pounds, to prevent binding. I went from 25, 50 and final torque in a criss cross pattern.
DONT TIGHTEN THE AXLE NUT YET!!
Install the brake hardware then and only then you can torque the axle nut, AFTER securing the rotor from rotating CLOCKWISE, again to prevent strain on the tranny. Again, torque in steps. I went from 50 to 100 to 125 to 159 just to be sure.
Reconnect the ABS sensor cable and harness, if you have some dielectric grease, now it's a good time to add some at the connector seal to prevent moisture and water inside the connector and to ease removal in the future.... just in case.
Do a final torque check on all bolts, put the car in neutral and rotate the axle. Check the CV boots for damage, check the axle for binding and the ABS wire for rubbing. Mount the tire back if all clears ok.
Go and do some test drive!! Enjoy the sound of silence!!!

IF YOU DONT HAVE AT LEAST 60 POUNDS OF OIL PRESSURE AT 3000RPM ,IT SOUNDS LIKE FRONT SEAL LEAK BY THE BALANCER IF ITS REALY BAD YOU DONT HAVE MUCH OIL PRESSURE AT ALL,CUASING THE CRANK AND HEADS TO BE DRY WITCH MEANS YOUR RUNNING HOT TOO,
Answermy Chevy truck did same thing after much hairpulling and changing fuel pump gaskets etc,it was the head gasket that solved the problem! Answeri would check the lower passenger side in front of the engine where the fuel pump bolts on. there usually is a bolt there that is used to hold the fuel pump rod up while installing the pump. some times that bolt becomes loose or is not replaced and it is a through hole and will leak oil. this is used to install the pump by removing the bolt and pushing the rod up ( you may have to turn the motor over so the rod goes all the way up and then install a longer bolt until the pump is bolted in )CAUTION make sure you remove the longer bolt and install the original one before starting or turning motor over! another cause could be crankcase pressure caused by blowby or not enough crank case ventilation which some times you may have to add another breather to the valve cover or check the pcv valve to see if if has adaquate vacum and or it is working properly good luckFollow the wire from the #1 cylinder to the cap. see link

you needto have a key in the slot then look all arounf the outter edges of the finger grab points.You will see a pin it is very small.With the key in you depress the pin and turn the entire assembly.It will pull out when you feel the release.

What is the best temperature thermostat to run in a 1970 Pontiac gto 455 cubic inch motor?
180 is likely the ideal, ive seen some ppl run 195 hoping for better gas mileage and but danger of overheating, and 160 trying for more power. but 180 is the balance that is designed and works best just go with that.
