  1. You can download the free start menu button from https://www.classicshell.net/ It works great and it always stays in the lower left corner of the system tray. Sometimes when you update Windows it will ask to be updated/reconfigured, but it's free and it mimics the start menu of Windows 7, which I thought was the best start menu ever.
  2. I read that the Sanden S6 compressor is more efficient and less prone to leaking compared to the A6 compressor.
  3. I'm looking at this kit; 1971-75 Chevrolet Big Block AC Compressor Bracket Set (5 Pieces) | eBay I'm assuming that I will have to modify it to fit my headers and taller valve covers.
  4. My factory A/C compressor is locked up. It was that way when I got the car. Is the Sanden style compressor a good replacement, or should I find a rebuild kit for my factory compressor? Are there any options for AC brackets with taller than stock valve covers?
  5. I saw that the Parts Place has a set for $170, but I'm hoping to not have to spend that much on a set.
  6. I traded him a fully built, really nice 2004 Honda TRX450R quad that was all tricked out and ran awesome, to paint my car.
  7. It was great to meet Aaron and John! I'm hoping to get my Monte Carlo painted here soon this summer. I just gotta kick my body shop friend's butt in gear to motivate him since he's already been paid to paint it.
  8. Since I switched from a small block to a big block on my 72 Monte Carlo, I'm in need of a set of big block A/C compressor brackets. Please let me know if you have any for sale. Thanks!
  9. I'm thinking that I need the taller engine mount saddles for this big block. Does anyone have a set that they want to sell?
  10. I've noticed that my new Demon carb sitting directly on the Edelbrock RPM Performer intake manifold (no carb spacer) sits slightly downhill in the front of the carb and not level. I'm wondering if I need to buy the taller engine mounts (2 3/16" height vs the small block mounts that are 1 3/4" height) that I reused when switching over to the big block?
  11. I ended up buying a brand new series 3 Yukon posi and complete install kit from Staticz2229. I just need to finish installing the inner valve springs on my big block and finish the little bit of body work yet to do on it, and then primer, block and sand, primer, paint and clear coat. After that I'll be ready to install the posi, gears, etc.
  12. Scott, That's only the SBC that has that type of timing cover. The BB bolts up against the timing cover without any tabs, just the oil pan gasket itself seals up the oil pan to the block and timing cover.
  13. I'm hoping to find one that's OEM as it will be more economical. I'm on a tight budget.
  14. I just got a nice OEM 69 3.31 ring and pinion gear set. Does anybody have a good used series 3 carrier?
