Leo, great project!!! Your like a lot of us car guys we want to save them all. I cant tell if that body wise is better or worse than the 70 Shadow Grey SS from PA that I sold you a few years back. Anything ever get done with the car or just parted out at your place? Hope all is well.

I believe all 1970-1972 Monte Carlos equipped with factory duel exhaust regardless of engine received exhaust resonators at the factory.

1970-72 Monte Carlos Did all cars with Duel Exhaust regardless of engine size received rear exhaust resonators?

Not trying to figure anything out specifically just a chevy numbers guy fascinated on how cars were optioned back in the day. Great information.

Were the PH1 15x7 steel wheels specific to Monte Carlo SS or could any 1970 Monte Carlo have this option added? I know that the ZJ7 Rally wheels was an option on any 1970 Monte Carlo but were the SS cars the only ones to get 15x7 Rally wheels and non SS cars with the ZJ7 option get 15x6 Rally wheels?

Thanks guys! You confirmed what I was thinking about this. 1970 SS cars with the PH1 15x7 steel wheels could have the standard hubcap or the optional PA3 body colored hubcap. or Optional ZJ7 Rally Wheels. I personally like the PA3 body colored hub caps but with that said I like them all.

I know the ZJ7 rally wheels where optional on 1970 SS Montes and the PH1 15x7 steel wheels where standard. My question if your car did not have rally wheels what hubcaps where available with the 1970 SS cars? I have seen 1970 Monte Carlos SS build sheets with just PH1 listed and others with PH1 and PA3 special wheel cover. If the car just has PH1 listed it had steel wheels and the plain hubcaps. If it had PH1 and PA3 it had the body colored caps? Most of the 1970 SS buildsheets that I have seen either have ZJ7 rallys listed or just PH1 but I have seen a few with PA3 listed as well. So I am assuming some 1970 SS cars, although rare had the PA3 color keyed hubcaps?

My Flint built monte factory tach car the tach hole is above the throttle cable below wiper motor. I have seen 70 chevelles built at Flint in the same location. Different plants must have utilized different holes.

I know on 1970 chevelles the hole in the firewall can be different based on the plant the car was built. What is the big hole near the middle of the firewall for under the wiper motor? My one 70 monte carlo is a non AC car and it does not have this large hole in the firewall. Does this larger hole have to do with A/C cars only?

Thanks for the help guys!!

Does anyone have a picture of a firewall of a 1970 Monte Carlo that originally had a tach dash and can point out where the hole in the firewall is for the tach wiring.

Did SS454 cars have specific driveshafts? My driveshaft has a big round (what looks like to be a balancer on the front yoke). Is this correct for Big Block TH400 cars only??

When a 1970 SS monte was originally optioned with Rally wheels from the factory was the spare tire a Rally wheel as well or just a standard steel wheel. What are the suffix codes for 70 rally and standard steel wheels. They are both 15x7.

My car was build 09B at the Flint Plant,(obviously no build sheet found in flint car) FL2118238 Body Sequence# on trim tag.

I am just curious if anyone has any idea as to when (or is the cars actual VIN# known) of the first production SS454 Monte Carlo made in 1970. My 1970 SS Monte Carlo was built the 2nd week of Sept 1969. When did the 1970 Monte Carlo Production start and did all the plants start at the same time?

My flint built SS454 was built 2nd week of Sept 1969. Car # 9728. Does anyone know what the first documented 1970 SS454 car is?

Do monte carlos have there Vin# stamped on there frames like other chevy models?

Is this 1970 air cleaner code CN specific to 454 cars or 402 cars as we'll?

Did only SS cars have 1 1/8 front sway bar or did all big block cars have 1 1/8. verses the 15/16 version?
