I got my 05 a month ago and it had been debadged on the trunk except for a holden badge in the original Pontiac spot. I have looked all over for a factory looking 6.0 but the only ones I can find I do not like the style. Any ideas?

Also, I would like to remove the rear holden badge and replace it with the original rear Pontiac badge. Is it okay to remove the holden with the hair dryer/floss technique? The Pontiac badge has no tape left on the back. Can I just apply thin double sided tape and trim it?

Thanks for helping me out guys :thumbup:

Got it all cut and fit then started media blasting, finished the insert and got most of the rust off the inner supports before a storm rolled in and i had to throw it inside the barn.

Body is painted but needs panels lined up, defects touched up and a final coat of color and clear coat. Engine is not numbers matching but is correct block, heads, carb.... pretty complete. Interior is stripped out but all there (worn prior restoration). Floors previously replaced, Engine bay is done, brakes are done, Mostly needs to be reassembled. Engine is also out and needs to be gone through. Needs rear bumper and likely some interior items. Price is $24k.

Current upgrades: no name exhaust, K&N intake system

Need help with:
**finding good aftermarket parts websites
**looking for recommendations for CAMS, INTAKE, HEADERS, EXHAUST...and any supporting mods that have/need to go with the previously stated upgrades. Once finished I will have it dynoed and tuned.

Info:
Hi everyone, I'm new to Ls motors and Gto's. My goal is a reliable daily driver with between 400-500 rwhp.

Question:
Is my goal possible??

**I'm looking to buy the previous stated upgrades, so please assist me with some good websites and some recommendations on certain cam, exhaust, intake, and headers that will help me obtain my goal with the information I've provided.

Is this acceptable, or did my pulley fiasco ruin it? If it did, no big deal, I'll just get another pump (with a cast iron impeller- it was a Gates, but looking at it, it was made in you-know-where, so would the bearings be suspect? This pump seems to cool better though, than the (also new) old pump I had on it previously, with the cheesy stamped vanes. (divider plate seemed to fit MUCH nicer with the Gates cast, also). It's a conundrum. Do I get the pump that cools good, but has faulty bearings? (If that actually IS the case. I don't know). Or do I try to find another with the cast iron impeller and good bearings? (again, speculation). This one was hard enough to find. Or am I just overreacting? :willy: Thanks. ]]> 1964-1974 GTO General Discussion gjones http://www.gtoforum.com/f12/waterpump-101-a-45962/ http://www.gtoforum.com/f12/cheap-carpet-dye-45954/ Thu, 23 May 2013 03:06:46 GMT Put new carpet in my car about 15 years ago. It's not worn but some parts were faded to a reddish color by the sun. Bought a package of Rit fabic dye at the grocery store for $2.99. Mixed half a package in hot water, about a cup and a half, and put it in a spray bottle. Sprayed carpet a couple days ago and it looked pretty good. Went out tonite with a white paper towel to see if any would rub off and it didn't. We'll see how it holds up.

Just an idea. ]]> 1964-1974 GTO General Discussion pontiacmatt http://www.gtoforum.com/f12/cheap-carpet-dye-45954/ http://www.gtoforum.com/f50/battery-disconnect-power-surge-question-45946/ Thu, 23 May 2013 01:33:51 GMT Any recommendations for a battery kill switch for my '69 Goat? Also, does a kill switch act as a power surge protector when activated during a charge? I charged my battery a few years back and I think it fried the radio... :D

I want something that's reliable and can be hidden somewhere discreet and easily accessible, perhaps from inside the passenger compartment. I don't want it installed under the hood since anyone can pop the hood open from the latch underneath the front bumper...

I was told the Flaming River Battery/Alternator Kill Switch combo is a good choice, while others say it's totally unnecessary and a simple Flaming River battery kill switch is all that I need.

Please be specific as to the model you recommend and the reason to where it should be installed. Thanks! ]]> miz http://www.gtoforum.com/f50/battery-disconnect-power-surge-question-45946/ http://www.gtoforum.com/f50/stumbling-backfiring-through-carb-45938/ Thu, 23 May 2013 01:27:34 GMT OK, fired the engine up. I have a brand new fuel pump on as the old one decided it needed to spew into the crank case. I have a 350 with a 2bbl. Right now I don't have vac advance hooked up, and I need to replace the lines. I plan on doing that before going ahead and possibly installing a new HEI dizzy, plugs and wires before hand to eliminate those as a variable. I also have the carb kit here that I'll replace if and when I get there, but figure I should do things 1 at a time so I don't make a ton of changes and break it even worse. I think that the accelerator pump or needle seat seat or a related circuit are having issues as when in steady state it runs fine. It's only bogging/backfiring in the tranisitions and it's worse off idle. Thoughts/opinions before I start yanking the carb and/or ignition off?

I have a '69 GTO convertible and need to install new seat belts, both front (buckets) and rear. I would like something more safer than the standard lap belts.

I'm shopping around online and I'm considering (A) lap and shoulder belts, or (B) 3 point belts (lap and over-the-shoulder Y-belt combo). For the front buckets, shoulder belts may be a challenge since there is nowhere to attach the shoulder strap to, as is the case for the 3 passengers in the rear bench seat. Therefore, I guess that leaves me with the lap and Y-shape over-the-shoulder belts combo.

If anyone has experience in this area I would greatly appreciate advise and photos. (Please post viewable pics as some need iCloud account and program, of which I don't have).

Thanks again! ]]> miz http://www.gtoforum.com/f50/1969-gto-convertible-3-point-seat-belts-45930/ http://www.gtoforum.com/f37/did-research-cam-just-want-double-check-you-pros-45922/ Wed, 22 May 2013 20:26:11 GMT hey guys, ill make this short. i have 2006 manual gto current mods.

what do you guys think ? it comes with springs, lifters, pretty much everything.

In the future, I intend to get a procharger and upgrade my heads, but thats the far future, probably years down the road.

I called comp cams, and they suggested this set up from what i told them.

thanks for looking guys

oh yeah, should I get a different oil pump for when I install this thing since ill be down there anyway? ]]> Engine Discussions phantomGTSLOW http://www.gtoforum.com/f37/did-research-cam-just-want-double-check-you-pros-45922/
