  1. Very true. Next project is new gears and posi
  2. Took the transmission out of 70 Monty last night. My guy saying to go to 700R with a shift kit. Carbureted 350 Vortec dynoed at 420 hp. Bop rear end with stock 275 gears. 255/60R/15 tires. Is this the best option???
  3. I know I’ve read the procedure for door panel removal and mirror install on here.....can someone direct me to the correct location please!!!
  4. Very good tutorial Bruce! Thank you very much
  5. Going to install my Xmas present.....OPG mirrors. Any advice on installing the passenger side mirror would be greatly appreciated. They look to be very good quality.
  6. Finally found a 12 bolt posi out of a Chevelle. Can someone help decode the number on the housing the guy sent me? #3917124. It’s a long way from home and comes with no gears. He’s asking 1k CAD. Seems like a lot, but have to purchase without be able to inspect it if I want it. Been looking for ever!
  7. I read on another site that a guy repaired his steering wheel with JB Weld and repainted it. Anyone ever do this? Replacement is $325 Canadian. Seems a little pricey for me.....
  8. Thanks. Gives me a heads up. Going to look this morning
  9. Last night we were having a few beers after putting new exhaust and jones mufflers on my 70 Monty. My buddy says he knows a guy with a 12 bolt posi with 30 splines out of a 74 Olds 98. Short version. If I don’t buy it today, this guys buddy is parting it out. Will it fit our 70 Monty? And what is it worth? He doesn’t know the ratio but I know how to figure that out. Help QUICK please!!! PS. These mufflers sound awesome!
  10. Has anyone ever installed a set of these? They are from a1985 Buick. Guy only wants a $100.00 Will they work?

    Monty 2018

    Had a very productive year. Started off putting a set of shiftworks gauges and tachometer in with LED dash lights. Then a set of Airlift 1000 air bags. A new set of 15-8 rally wheels with 4.5” backspace with some 255-60’s. Last winter I bought a 350 Vortec from my buddy that raced it for 2 seasons. It was originally built by Miller Racing Engines in Winkler Manitoba. It has 4 bolt mains, high volume oil pump,9.5-1 compression pistons, custom ground Lunati cam, heads ported and polished with complete Comp valve train, Edelbrock performer and 1406 carb, Mallory HEI, Headman Elite headers. I tore it apart and replaced all the bearings, rings and valve seals. Rehoned it as a few of the cylinder walls had a bit of scarring. He had been running a hundred shot of nitros. Cleaned up pretty good for the rpm I will be running. Had to make the power steering mounts, throttle linkage and kickdown, but they turned out great. Runs like a frickin dream! I’m hoping to find a posi this winter with a little better gears. It’s got the old 2.73 BOP. Great gas mileage though. I would like to thank everyone on here for taking the time to answer some stupid questions. Very much appreciated. I grazed the archives for hours researching. What a wealth of information in FGMCC!!! AA759CAD-6925-48AC-B365-B14912826B05.mov E1A36132-1A83-47BE-9A97-B76D48659156.mov
  12. Could someone please post some pictures of their coolant reservoir. Location and how they mounted it. Thanks
  13. Thank you very much for the information. Your expansion fuse block has power all the time? Where can you wire it in so it is keyed?
  14. Wondering if anyone has added another fuse block under the hood to power HEI distributor, electric fans, stereo etc. What all would be involved? Relays, keyed power, circuit breakers etc. Any advice and pictures would be greatly appreciated.
  15. Chris. Just wondering where you ran the wiring through the firewall? The connector for the oil pressure gauge requires a 7/8” hole. What did u use? Anyone ever use one of these?
