Welcome to the Darkside. As a rule, in rebuilding/restoring Big Car Ponchos I drain and refill the rear axle assembly. If you have posi-trac add the GM additive. Also, when taking the car out for a test drive, turn on the lights and as you drive along grab the light switch and see if it is getting warm. If it is, first replace the dimmer switch. When the dimmer goes bad it wrecks hell on the light switch.
My experience is the dimmers are easily available and inexpensive so I replace them anyway. If dashboard lights are dim, just clean the rheostat on the light switch. Have fun with the Poncho. Jim

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.
