Year One is who I would check and OMP parts.

For parts for my 1965 Pontiac Bonneville – I always call wrecker yards to “rob” off of other old cars. You’re not always lucky – but I have often been very fortunate.
Peace.

i own a shop and i do a lot of restorations also paddock.com has a lot of parts for that car and year one also has lot of parts for that one,what your needing shouldn’t be a hard part to find,i think you can order this one new through advance auto parts because i have ordered them for a plain 74 fire bird that a friend of mine is re-doing,so both parts would about the same,try year one though and also try classicindustries.com they have a lot of original parts for those cars good luck with it ,hope this helps.

Snookie are you talking the pinchbolt setup connecting the steering column to the gearbox or the connector to the gearbox? Is the steering kind of sloppy? Remember that this isn’t a rack&steering set up! If ya want to tighten up the steering gear worm all ya got to do is loosen the allen wrench ***** and tighten it down and then tighten up the nut surrounding it. I was unaware their was a difference in the in either the pinchbolt or Knuckle connecting it being different than the standard rear disc brakes or drum brakes. Oh well, have you cheked with a local pontiac Dealer for this part? You would be surprised at what we still carry. Try gmpartsdirect.com

the same parts runs until 79,if i remember well.
any mayor auto part company has it. the only inconvenience is that You have to place an order.
Napa auto parts store. is the best of all cases.
