Junk Yards
I spent alot of time in junk yards in the mid 70's in eastern New Mexico and West Texas. There was an amazing amount of stuff out there. One thing I discovered early on Pontiac parts at the time did not demand a high price because they were not Chey or Ford parts! I found a set of long branch exhaust manifolds in the mud at one yard and I think I paid $5.00 for them! Another time I found a set of number 16 heads also just laying on the ground. I was able to purchase a hood tach and 400 hood for my firebird for not much money. Point is, at the time when you could find them, Pontiac parts were cheap, albeit not plentiful. Not so today!
