Hello everyone, Since these cars have so much clearance between oil pan and cross member, I want to try to fit the biggest sump oil pan I can without having to modify the crossmember. I am looking to get the benefits from kickout on the pan for oil control and the biggest sump I can to increase the crank case volume (decrease pressure). What are some race style pans that will fit or have tried and won't fit.

I was able to get the cable changed out yesterday evening. Turns out the nylon retainer was still in the pedal. I knew the hole in the pedal wasn't big enough, that is because the retainer was still in place. Good thing I bought a new one because the old retainer disintegrated when I removed it.

It sure looks to me like the end of the cable is larger than the hole in the pedal. I will have to get back under the dash with all the parts and look again.

I searched but can't find anything. Does anyone have a picture of how the stock style throttle cable connects to the gas pedal? The pedal doesn't have a slot, I don't understand how the cable attaches when you can't hook it onto the pedal. Cable was all screwed up on the car when I bought it so I replaced it with a lokar. Seems like the lokar are only for show cars. I close to daily drive the car, the inner cable wore into the outer and keeps causing the throttle to hang open. I was able to get the lokar to work from dissemble it, install the outer then thread the inner cable through the pedal, then through the outer jacket. I bought a new factory style cable and bought a new split plastic retainer https://www.ebay.com/itm/1968-79-GM-Accelerator-Throttle-Cable-Lock-Ring-Retainer-at-Gas-Pedal-arm-403929/201333056091?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 Once I take the Lokar cable out of the pedal I am committed to replacing because can never get the inner back into the outer. It's my only running/driving car at the moment so don't want to take it apart until I know i can get it back together.

Well the whole interior of the car is sandalwood. The bench had been recovered before I bought the carea because didn't have holes for the lap belts. I believe I had found the part number above for sandalwood from pui that I listed above. I used pui cloth on my buick and was not happy with it. The material was not same as originally it was more velour. On this car I just want it to look nice I don't care about original. I wanted to try different than pui this time. Has anyone used the pui bench with the bolster? I will look at the year one link closer tonight. Thanks

I need to replace the front seat foam and covers on 71 monte carlo with split bench, sandalwood color, vinyl not cloth. On PUI website in the catalog I can't understand what I am looking at. On legendary auto interiors they only list cloth for 1971. The car is just a driver not a show car, I just need to recover the front seat. Can someone help me out with what part number I need? I am open to different manufactures doesn't have to be only PUI or Legendary. Thank you Scott Edit: Car is a 1971 From using this website: http://www.autoobsession.com/1971-72montecarlointeriorkits.aspx 71MS41B - is split bench sandal wood. PUI-71MS41B1 - is split bench sandalwood with bolster I send Legendary an email.

My car doesn't have that big block. So disn't come with that wilwood.

I updated the original thread with some more details. If you are building a cruiser, for the price of these engines from a junk yard, and the ease of swapping I can't see spending the time doing an LS swap unless you really just wanted to. The only "hassle" is loosing the mechanical fuel pump, but a cheap electric inline pump has resulted in a super easy starting car never have extended cranking to fill the float bowls back up. Even with 2.73 gears the car has more than enough power. The stock cam is so mild the engine will idle no problem at 550 rpm with the AC compressor running.

Thank you for confirming the correct diameter. I had already went ahead and ordered a 1 1/8" since the car was power brakes I made the assumption that it would give me the better performance. I didn't want to have the longer pedal travel required of the 1" piston. New (not reman) MC was $2 more than a rebuild kit, so I am going to try that route first before the hassle of rebuilding mine.

I need to replace the master cylinder on my 71. All stock brakes. Which one did the car come with when new 1" or 1 1/8". Thank you Scott

Just posting a followup for everyone. I went with an inner fender from AMD on the passengerside. It fit very very well. Only one hole didn't line up perfectly. I was suprised due to age of car and poor alignment of front sheet metal. It was missing one bolt hole for the plastic piece that fills the underside gap between the bottom of inner fender and bottom of firewall. I purchased a hardware kit on ebay. I think made by inline tube. Now I have lots of left over bolts for future projects. Found a bunch of loose bolts and sheet metal brackets under the car that I was able to tighten up. Majority of the rattles are gone now.

Bringing this thread back. I am now ready to replace the PS inner fender with a metal one. Plastic one is shot. Any suggestions on which company has the best quality? Or which has the best price? I am going to start searching tonight.

Black with yellow is positive not negative. When testing on the bench you have to make sure to attach a second negative lead to the body of the assembly. I am on my 3rd cardone reman. first was doa in box, second worked for a month now on to the third. They were all wired the correct way. After the second one died I just questioned my wiring. What I can say is the remans look just like the picture of the brand new cardone units. All of mine have had a brand new frame, new gears, I dunno about the motors.

Thank you very much again. I got the replacement wiper motor installed and running. On my third reman. I was starting to question the wiring hookups but I had them correct the whole time.
