BODY NUMBER PLATE

METRIC FASTENERS

The Body Number Plate (Fig. 1) is attached to the front tie bar behind either the right or left headlamp in the engine On The Number Plate identifies numerous items as outlined in Figure 1.

Pontiac models are primarily dimensioned in the metric system, Most fasteners are metric and are very close in dimension to well-known customary fasteners in the inch system. It is most important that re~lacement fasteners be of the correct nominal d&meter, thread pitch and strength. Original equipment metric fasteners (except "beauty" bolts, such as exposed bumper bolts, and cross recess head screws) are identified by a number

the numbered head marking system. The metric fasteners used on GM products are designed to new, international standards that may not be used by some nondomestic bolt and nut suppliers. In general, except for special applications, the common sizes and pitches are: M 6.0 X 1 M 8 x 1.25 M 10 X 1.5 M 12 X 1.75 M 14x2

marking indicating the strength of the material in the fastener as outlined below. Metric cross recess screws are identified by a Posidriv or Type 1A cross recess as shown in Figure 8. Either a Phillips head or Type 1A cross recess screwdriver can be used in Posidriv recess screw heads, but Type 1A cross recess screwdrivers will perform better. NOTICE: Most metric fasteners have a blue color coating. However, this should not be used as a positive way of identifying as some metric fasteners are not color coated. General Motors Engineering Standards, along with other North American Industries, have adopted a portion of the standard metric fastener sizes defined by I S 0 (International Standards Organization). This was done to reduce the number of fastener sizes used and yet retain the best strength qualities in each thread size. For example, the customary 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws are replaced by the metric M6.0 X 1 screw which has nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch. The thread pitch is in between the customary coarse and fine thread pitches. Metric and customary thread notation differ slightly. The difference is shown in Figure 9.

FASTENER STRENGTH ODENTIFIGATION Most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9 with the class identification embossed on the head of each bolt. Customary (inch) strength classes range from grade 2 to 8 with radial line identification embossed on each bolt head (i.e., grade 7 bolt will exhibit 5 embossed radial lines on the bolt head). Some metric nuts will be marked with single digit strength identification numbers on the nut face. Figure 12 shows the different strength markings. When replacing metric fasteners, be careful to use bolts and nuts of the same strength or greater than the original fasteners (the same number marking or higher) .It is also important to select replacement fasteners of the correct size. Correct replacement bolts and nuts are available through the parts division. Many metric fasteners available in the after-market parts channels were designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States. These fasteners may be of a lower strength, different thread pitch and may not have

A prevailing torque nut is designed to develop an interference between the nut and bolt threads. This is most often accomplished by distortion of the top of an all-metal nut or by using a nylon patch on the threads in the middle of the hex flat. A nylon insert may also be used as a method of interference between nut and bolt threads (Fig. 11). A prevailing torque bolt is designed to develop an interference between bolt and nut threads, or the threads of a tapped hole. This is accomplished by distorting some of the threads or by using a nylon patch or adhesive (Fig. 11).

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FASTENER REUSE:

Clean, unrusted prevailing torque nuts and bolts may be reused as follows: a. Clean dirt and other foreign material off nut or bolt. b. Inspect nut or bolt to insure there are no cracks, elongation, or other signs of abuse or overtightening. (If there is any doubt, replace with a new prevailing torque fastener of equal or greater strength.) c. Lightly coat bolt & nut with engine oil. Assemble parts and hand start nut or bolt. d. Observe that before fastener seats, it develops torque per the chart in Figure 10. (If there is any doubt, replace with a new prevailing torque fastener of equal or greater strength.) e. Tighten fastener to torque specified in appropriate section of this manual. Bolts and nuts which are rusty or damaged should be replaced with new parts of equal or greater strength.

VEHICLE LIF"TING PROCEDURES NOTICE: When jacking or lifting vehicle from frame side rails, be certain lift pads do not contact catalytic converter as damage to converter will result. Many dealer service facilities and service stations are equipped with a type of automotive hoist which must bear upon some part of the frame in order to lift the vehicle. Figures 14 and 15 indicate the recommended areas for hoist contact for Pontiac Sunbird models. If any other hoist methods are used, special care must be used not to damage the fuel tank, filler neck, exhaust system or underbody.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION The base heater system is designed to provide heating, ventilation, windshield defrosting and on some cars, side window defogging. Ram air ventilation is provided on some cars by two (2) outboard vent valves installed in the plenum. These vent valves are controlled by push-pull controls mounted in the instrument panel. When either of these valves are opened, air will enter the passenger compartment from the pressurized plenum and be directed to the floor of the vehicle.

The power-vent, heat, and defrost provisions of the base system are controlled within the heater module. The module itself is composed of two (2) components - a blower air inlet and a heater defroster. The blower air inlet is mounted to the front of the cowl and the heater defroster assembly is mounted to the rear of the cowl. A gasket is used between the two to prevent air, water and noise entrance into the passenger compartment. Air distribution is through a heater outlet, defroster duct, power-vent duct work and outlets. The three modes of the base heater system (vent, heat, defrost) are controlled by the functional assemblies within the heater module. These assemblies are defined below: 1. Motor & Fan Assembly (Blower). Provides and regulates air flow from the air inlet for further processing and/or distribution. 2. Heater Core. Transfers heat from engine coolant to inlet air, heating the inlet air. 3. Temperature Valve. Regulates the amount of air passing through the heater core, controlling the temperature and mix of heated and ambient air. 4. Mode (Defroster) Valve. Regulates the flow and distribution of processed air to the distribution (heater or defroster) ducts. 5. Vent Valve. Regulates the flow of non-processed (outside) air into the passenger compartment. The operation of these assemblies is controlled by the levers and switch on the control head. Depending on model application, two (2) or three (3) indexed snap-in cables are attached to the module and control levers. The temperature cable has the slider-type, self-adjust feature. As the temperature lever of the control head is cycled through its full range of travel, the cable clip will assume a position assuring that the temperature valve will seat in both extreme positions. The vent and/or defrost cables also have the

self-adjusting feature. Blower speeds are controllable in all modes (VENT, HEAT, DEFROST) by the switch on the control head. The power-vent ventilation feature is available in the vent mode. Outside air enters the plenum and is driven by the blower to the temperature valve. In the cold position of the temperature valve, air bypasses the heater core to the vent valve opening and enters the passenger compartment through the vent duct and outlets in the center of the instrument panel. If some heated air is desired, the temperature valve may be opened. This allows mixed (tempered) air to flow out the center vent opening. Blending air between modes can be done by varying the mode selector. Varying the selector between "Heat" and "Defrost" will allow more air or less air to be directed out either the defroster outlet or the heater outlet. The closer the mode selector is positioned to the "Heater" position, the larger the amount of air coming out the heater outlet. The closer the mode selector is positioned to "Defrost," the larger the amount of air going to the windshield. The temperature of this air is governed by the temperature lever position.

Side window defogging, if so equipped, is provided via ducts in the outboard corners of the instrument panel. Maximum air flow from these vents will be in "Heater" mode with reduced air flow in "Defrost" mode. Varying the mode selector between "Heater" and "Vent" positions varies the proportion of air coming out the heater outlet and the center vent outlets. With the selector in some midway position, air coming out the center vent outlets will be ambient temperature, while air out the heater outlet will be mixed warm air, its temperature depending on temperature lever position. In the heat and defrost mode, outside air is driven by the blower to the temperature valve which, depending upon its position as controlled by the operator, distributes all or some portion of the inlet air through the heater core. The vent valve will prevent air entry into the vent duct and direct this ambient air to the mix portion of the heater module. The air is thus heated, mixed, and then directed into either the defroster duct or the heater outlet by the position of the mode valve and control lever. A small amount of air is bled to the side window defogger system.
