Bret Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Recently purchased a 1930 Pontiac Sedan, 2 door, this summer. In process of deciding how to restore and what resources are available. I'm having alot of trouble finding information on early Pontiacs and the engine. Also looking for information on the dashboard / instrument panel layout. Also looking for suspension components such as king pin bushings. If anyone has information or expertise, I'd love to talk with you.Bret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 EGGE has king pins. They are excellent. I put a set in my Pontiac in 1959 at 99,000 miles. I had to replace them in 1986 at 240,000 miles. They worked perfect until one shattered when I hit a pot hole at about 55 mph. I now have 480,000 miles on the car and the king pins are fine. PM me if you have any technical questions. I have all the parts, shop and owners manuals for Pontiacs from 1926 to 1934. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have looked for one for over 30 years, and have never seen one, or anyone who had one.Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest c.johnson Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Dave; have you tried the POCI website lately? Even before it went out for refit, you had to be a member to login. (Just my opinion, but not a great way to recruit members.) I was a member of POCI for 2 years, most of the club seemed dedicated to '60's Pontiacs. (Not a bad thing, unless you have an Oakland.)Bret; email me. I have a reprint of a manual that may help some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgshafto Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 POCI's Early Times Chapter has members with 1926-54 Pontiacs and is a good source of information and connections. Their website is www.earlytimeschapter.com. If you join POCI, be sure to join ETC as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bret Posted December 2, 2006 Author Share Posted December 2, 2006 C.J. thanks for the reply. which manual do you have I just got the Fisher body manual for 1926-1932 , although it is not very specific to my 2 dr. sedan.

Peter J.Heizmann Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Hi, Bret...You may want to try the AACA Library & Research Center.

The POCI collection is an enormous amount of technical specifications relative to your questions.Check it out.Regards,Peter J... <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
