The easiest way is to order PHS docs, Then you will know exactly everything that your Pontiac was ordered with, well worth the investment in my opionion. Visit PHS www.phs-online.com/

Also you can try decoding some of it yourself,
VIN Number Decoding Location: Attached to the left-front door pillar

Sample: 223377U100001

22337 is the model number.
1st digit is the GM division number. 2 = Pontiac
2nd digit is the series number. 2 = Firebird
3rd digit is the model/engine number. 3 = All firebirds manufactured in 1967.
4th and 5th digits are the body type and number:
37 = 2dr coupe
67 = 2dr convertible
6th digit is the last number in the model year i.e. 1967
7th digit is a letter indicating the assembly plant:
U = Lordstown, OH

100001 is the sequential production number. These numbers fell into two ranges to differentiate between V-6s and V-8s as shown below.

Engine Body style Code
I-6 Coupe 223377L600001 and up
I-6 Convertible 223677L600001 and up
V-8 Coupe 223377L100001 to 600000
V-8 Convertible 223677L100001 to 600000
