Engines
L17 Engine, 1.6 L L4, gasoline 1984–1985
the kit's gasoline engine code (the 1985 page prints LI7 in one remark, the 1984 page L17); matched to the unit by meaning: carwhere.com's 1984, 1985 and 1986 Pontiac 1000 pages list a 1.6L 4-cyl gasoline engine, and the NICB Pontiac engine table (1987 manual p.77) prints a 1.6L L4 2-barrel with VIN letter C in the 1984, 1985 and 1986 columns, but none prints the RPO code; 1986 is not claimed because the 1986 Chevette kit page has no readable model year; shared T-body code; cited from the Chevrolet Chevette kit

LJ5 Engine, 1.8 L L4, diesel 1984–1985
matched to the unit by meaning: carwhere.com's 1984 and 1985 Pontiac 1000 pages list a 1.8L 4-cyl diesel, and Wikipedia's Chevette article says 264 diesel-engined Pontiac 1000s were sold in 1986, with the diesel dropped for 1987; none prints the RPO code; the NICB Pontiac table's 1.8L diesel (VIN letter D, 1984–1986; 1987 manual p.77) is not model-specific and is not relied on; 1986 is not claimed because the 1986 Chevette kit page has no readable model year; shared T-body code; cited from the Chevrolet Chevette kit

Transmissions
MM5 Transmission, 5 speed manual 1984–1985
matched to the unit by meaning: carwhere.com's 1984, 1985 and 1986 Pontiac 1000 pages list a Manual 5-spd, but print no RPO code; 1986 is not claimed because the 1986 Chevette kit page has no readable model year; shared T-body code; cited from the Chevrolet Chevette kit

Single-source
MX1 Transmission, automatic, 3 speed 1985
matched to the unit by meaning: carwhere.com's 1985 Pontiac 1000 page lists an Automatic 3-spd, but prints no RPO code; the 1984 kit page prints the code as MX), which is not an accepted reading, and the 1986 kit page has no readable model year, so those years are left out although carwhere.com also lists an automatic for them; shared T-body code; cited from the Chevrolet Chevette kit
