  1. I'm planning to add the console but also going to replace carpet anyways.
  2. I plan to recover them so don't care what the material looks like. Thanks for the tip on the headrest. I noticed the trim on those seats in Chicago need to be fixed up. Going to have to look good when it's done if it is going into my Monte. Let me know if you run across a set. I need everything since this is a conversion from bench seat. I do plan to put a console in and swap out the steering column.
  3. LostnFound, is that what I can expect to pay for a set of bucket seats in that shape?
  4. So I guess I could use seat from a 70 model as long as I recover them with cloth for a 71 Monte. Is that correct? By the way, thanks for all the info.
  5. Canuck thanks for the post. Those bucket seats look great!
  6. Another question just thought of. What is the difference between the 70 and 71 bucket seats?
  7. Terry, Any chance you'd think about selling those bucket seats?
  8. Were any Monte's with bucket seats done in cloth or were they all completely vinyl? I found a place that has stock cloth for the buckets (PUI does not). My current setup is bench with cloth. I'd like to stay with cloth and am considering a switch to buckets when I redo the interior. I have an SS but that should not matter as far as the type of material used, I don't think. I may go with vinyl if buckets were never done in cloth - my car is not entirely original but want to stay true to what was offered back in the day.

    Time flies

    Wow - they've grown up a bit haven't they? Rachel is 10, just finished fourth grade! See you at Carlisle.
  10. Scott, it's hard to say if it is the switch or the wiper. Your issue is similar but different. The way I checked my unit out was to find out what conditions should be on the wiper pins in the off, low, and high positions. Then I disconnected the switch from the wiper (all three wires, two connectors) and checked each connector while turning on the ignition and moving the switch from off to low to high. The switch was doing what it was supposed to do. off gnd, batt, open low gnd, batt, gnd high open, batt, gnd I have not checked the squirters connector but will do so and report back. I have to paint my old unit and put it back in. When I do that, I'll test the squirters.
  11. My old wiper cleaned up real good - got all of the rattle can black off of it. Now debating whether to just spray clear as I like the aluminum look. But everytime I've use clear, stuff has rusted anyways.
  12. Just to clarify my message above which is a bit mixed up. The old unit with the rattle can spray also had a big hole in the big black plastic case. For those two reasons, I went ahead and had purchased a different unit to put on my Monte when I did all of the engine compartment work going on 8 years ago.
  13. OK. Removed the wiper today. I went ahead and put my old one back on and hooked it up. It works fine. Took that one back off and now planning to clean it up, remove all the rattle can black that someone applied to the front side of it and see if it is show worthy after that. I bought this remanuafactured unit from the Parts Place because the black plastic case was cracked and at the time they didn't sell a replacement. But went to their site and they sell that piece now. But I want to fix this one if possible. Can you tell me where these contact are and what I need to do to get at them? You say I get to them from the front side of the wiper assembly? Thanks.
  14. I'm pretty mechanically inclined. Is this something I can do with the wiper motor still mounted? Or do I need to remove it first? Anybody ever do this that happens to be going to Carlisle? I could wait - it's only a couple more weeks away.
  15. Wallaby, that is an interesting point. I also can't park the wipers whenever this happens. So do you think it is fixable or do I simply replace the wiper unit? It is fairly new - maybe five years old. Been having the problem intermittently for the last two years.
  16. I looked at this possibility and it appears the wiper motor is grounded. Took reading from wiper body to alternator bracket.
  17. I've got a recurring problem with my wipers. I cannnot turn them off. I have to disconnect boththe two wire connector (black and power) and the single light blue wire. I have a 71 monte carlo. In checking the wiring conditions I should get from the switch at the wiper motor, everything is in order with ground on the black lead and open on the light blue lead. When I disconnect the light blue lead from the wiper that should stop the wipers from working. I'm wondering if someone could confirm that by taking off the light blue wire at the wiper motor and checking that the wipers dont work. I'm thinking there is something wrong with the wiper motor, not the switch. I can upload a picture if that helps.
  18. Doesn't appear Monte Carlo, AZ - population 8 - made it to the 21st century.
  19. Thoughts and prayers going Ronnie's way.
  20. Check your "add-ins' for IE under Internet Options - > programs - possibly start disabling them, start with those that are not "verified".
  21. Neat site - thanks for sharing.
  22. Thanks Ian. Just expired the cookie and re-logged in.
  23. I've converted my VHS tape to DVD and want to post a video. When I convert it to MPEG2, the quality is not good - alot of video jitter going on. MPEG1 is much steadier looking but alot smaller screen size. What format is best for posting videos to the internet? Why would the MPEG2 be so jittery when the source is not jittery? (I can watch the video using my video editing software called Pinnacle Studio - and it is rock solid steady.) Any ideas?
  24. I had to re-login with credentials again today - maybe that change was backed out or didn't take?
