what is this sheet for?
I found these pieces of paper stuck to the axle flange when I pulled the rear brake drum from my 69 350 HO LeMans (66,000 original albeit very hard miles) and I am curious what they are and figured if anyone would know it would be a member of this forum,

Looks like pieces of the build sheet or an inspection ticket.
That's not a usual location for either of those items, and it's hard to say without any print remaining. K

I'm also going with the home made gasket. Someone put them there to keep the drum from freezing to the axle flange.
Just did a search, found a bunch of axle flange - drum gaskets that look like that .... but don't think they were OEM on our Pontiacs. Ours just had the bearing hold down plate gasket. Probably a mechanic used to seeing them on other cars added it to yours. Good idea .... probably makes it much easier to remove the drums after many years.

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.
