    Quit Smoking

    1959-60 Arm Rests

    Like I said in my original post - I did some research and it seems that GM made a design change to these in 1961, but kept the same part number. They will fit the 59-60 but are not "correct". That said, and factoring in what I have learned from you, I guess when it was decided to remake...

    1959-60 Arm Rests

    If that is the case, why can you only get the narrow ones? Try ordering the wide ones....not happening, unless someone besides Classic, Ciadella, Sinclair's, NPD, OGPI, etc., has them.

    1959-60 Arm Rests

    Now Own a 409

    Great! I have a 348 in my '59 elky. As far as upgrading, for sure you'll need to upgrade the fuel line to 3/8". The fuel tank is our call. Isn't 16 gallons enough? :) Jack

    Pontiac - Heater Doesn't Work

    I have a '92 Pontiac Sunbird convert, 2.0L engine w/AC. The heater doesn't work. I've invested over $1500 so far on this problem and can't figure it out. I've replaced the heater core, hoses, gaskets, water pump, thermostat, in short everything that should have anything at all to do with...
