1965 GTO original photos
I recently ran across another large set of old promotional and road test photos, and would like to share a few here. These are some very sharp photos of a 1965 GTO Royal Bobcat engine compartment. I blew up the side photo of the tri-power to see more detail.
Thought it may help some folks doing restorations. Enjoy! Mike

Must have been running it hard,i see oil spray from the breather on the heater box. Looks like they also put another clamp on the heater hose.

Looks like it threw the alternator belt.
Also the vacuum advance hose has been cut and has a screw in it.

Saw the vac hose too, I thought it might be a two piece hose with a connector.

Thanks for posting, Mike.

Mine pushes the engine oil dipstick up after brisk driving, even with the extra breather cap. Quote:

Dad used to blow some people's minds by timing total advance at high engine RPM, with the vacuum advance line "plugged in" and off the #6 cylinder. He got "protested" on more than one occasion as a result when his less educated competitors didn't understand what he was doing.  K

Was there any logic or guidance on which of the two holes in the center carb linkage the stud went into that attached the long slotted shaft that went to the rear carb ?

Crimp clamp is hanging loose on the short hose that attaches the power brake tube to front carb.

Oil on the heater box cover isn't good. Had that problem with my 66 and it was rings causing it..... like 4 sets of them out of 8.

Oh! Also - has what appears to be writing behind the voltage regulator.
One of the few markings my car has is an "OK" scribbled behind the regulator (I have never removed it to investigate further). K

I recognize the "fan" and "battery" stickers, but what is this label?

Thanks very much. Tom v.

Fender Bolt Installation
Quote:
All early 65's (at least to a 12E build) have the bolts going down into the Inner Fender Skirt. Later 65 cars had the bolts going up into the Outer Fender.

The upper radiator hose clamps have been replaced with Wittco style but looks to be the original hose. I noticed the white stripe and always thought that was for orientation. 64`striped hoses are mostly seen with the stripe laying on top. It looks like the 65 stripe and bend would probably have to be as shown. Part number is on top however. Anyone have an original to compare or a picture from a 65 magazine?

Below is a magazine article showing the stripes on a 65 Tri-Power top hose. Also notice the Red positive battery cable (obviously not Black in this photo). All early 65's came with a Red positive cable. Next photo shows the stripes on a 65 4BBL. top hose with part number. This early 65 also has the OEM Red positive cable. Note - another component used on early 65's is the silver cadmium plated heater hose bracket. Later 65's thru 67 used a black painted bracket.

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.
