Since the engine was similar to the popular small-block Buick V8—now with a cast-iron block and displacement of 300 cu in (4.9 L), the engine was made cheaply at the same factory with much of the same tooling. This engine carried the RPO code KH for the 1964 model year and LH for 1965. In 1966, the code was MH and was renamed the Wildcat V-6.
If the vehicle is within 7 years or 70,000 miles (110,000 km) of the date it was first placed in service, GM must replace the instrument panel (parts and labor) for free. If the vehicle is within 7 years and between 70,001 miles (110,001 km) and 80,000 miles (130,000 km) of the date it was first placed in service, GM must replace the instrument ...
The ignition switch was designed to remove power from the vehicle's airbags when in the Off or Accessory mode.

The Twilight Sentinel system uses a photoelectric cell to measure ambient light levels. This cell is typically mounted on the dashboard of the vehicle. [7] The system is designed to activate the vehicle's exterior lights when the ambient light falls below a certain threshold, typically corresponding to twilight conditions.
