As an UPDATE...I did put in a Heat Shied from Advanced Auto....still not much help....Then had new starter cables to battery....vast improvement, So far no real problems for the past few months.by BJS382 - Pontiac GTO Forum
I HAVE TWO {2} 1973 PONTIAC GTO'S...ONLY 4,806 WERE MADE...SO MANY PARTS COMPANIES DO NOT MAKE CERTAIN PARTS. I FOUND THIS TRUE OF THE "HOOD TO COWLING SEAL". THEY MAKE THEM FOR ALL THE PRIOR YEARS, BUT THESE ARE FROM 54" TO 59 INCHES LONG...MUCH TOO SHORT IN LENGTH FOR THE 73 GTO/LEMANS. THE HOOD TO COWLING ON A 73 GTO/LEMANS IS "65 INCHES LONG".

Thanks...I just applied it to the thin, but worn, silver trim that goes around the edges of both of my rear tail lights....it looks like new. I'm really impressed with what this tip does.by BJS382 - Pontiac GTO Forum
I picked up a TIP from watching a Classic Car Show on TV... A simple way to update & repair the PLASTIC CHROME TRIM that is usually worn away from chrome trim, was noted. A very simple coating was applied to the worn away chrome/silver trim by using a "SILVER LEAFING PEN" that can be purchased FROM ANY CRAFT'S STORE. These Coating pens are very similar to a MAGIC MARKER...it isby BJS382 - Pontiac GTO Forum
I have a 1973 GTO that someone put 14" Rally II RIMS on...looking to sell or swap the five 14 Inch rims & tires or buy 5 15 X 7 Rally II for 73 gto in good condition at fair price. Also need new FRONT BUMPER with the Black Rubber Strip...many other parts needs, should someone know of a party who has a 73 Lemans that can have parts removed and sold.by BJS382 - Pontiac GTO Forum
Since replacing the Battery and a new Rebult Starter....haven't been able to start it in 7 days...just put in another Rebuilt Starter Yesterday....it did start, but still the same problem of after driving....it will not start....like the battery is low, which it is not...I'm going to have the Timing checked again...if nothing then the heat shielf will be next...thanks BJby BJS382 - Pontiac GTO Forum

STARTER ISSUE TO ADDRESS 1973 GTO, 455 ENGINE…AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION...ALWAYS STARTED…INITIAL ISSUE: FAILS TO START AFTER A DRIVE…TRIED HEAT SHIELD…NOW GTO TRIES TO START "ONCE"…THEN NOTHING. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS OF WHAT TO TRY NEXT. DURING FIRST TEST DRIVES, I HAVE NOTICED THE GTO STARTS EASILY…YET AFTER IF HEATS UP, SAY A 2-3 MILE DRIVE…THEN WHEN I SHUT OFF ENGINE, WAIT 2by BJS382 - Pontiac GTO Forum
I recently bought a 1973 GTO and have heard the stories of how hard it is to find replacements parts for the FRONT BUMPER PLASTC PANELS. So I was surprised during one of my numerous Internet searches for parts...to discover an ALABAMA SUPPLIER who is making those identical parts. I then called their 800 number and went over the measurements for the 3 sections of these 73 GTO bumpers parts,by BJS382 - Pontiac GTO Forum
