Does this rea have or use c-clip style axles or does it have bolt in axles like a ford or olds? Thanks

Hey. Mine were held in by retaining plates, so bolt in style, no C-clips. I think this is true for most Pontiacs but I am not sure. Cheers.

Some 1967 Firebirds were equiped with only 1 traction bar (aka radius rod) on the passenger side. There is some controversy over the details but I have read that 400ci’s with auto trans had 1 radius rod and 400ci’s with manual trans had 2. Maybe someone who knows can add some info here for us.

There is some conflicting information out there but I have read that 400ci’s with auto trans came with 1 radius rod on the passenger side. 400ci’s with manual trans came with both. Maybe someone who knows can shed some light for us.

Mine came with two, 326 HO, posi & 4 speed trans. It is my understanding some did have just one.
