Thanks. Yea I'm hoping to finish it soon so I can pull the Monte with it
-
Thanks for the help on this one guys, i actually got a bigger carb for it an eddy 750 cfm and it's running a lot better. looks like the motor was just starving with that 600
-
ok well im going to get it tuned up by my engine guy this week hopefully. Do you think i should upgrade to a bigger carb before i get that done ? or will the 600 be good enough
-
No signs of it being a water issue. i changed the plugs cap and rotor a week ago and no smoke after that and yes if i drive for about 10 minutes or so there will be no more smoke out the pipes. i figured the timing was of and the small carb wasnt helping the situation either

Guys and Gals i need some help, I just bought a truck to haul the Monte with once she is finished, 1979 Chevy C-30 with 454 mated to a th400. I figured you all could help answer a few questions. 1.) is whiteish smoke out of the tail pipes a sign of a lean condition ? i think the #1 is fouled 2.) what size carb do you guys recommend for a 454 ? the guy i bought it from put a eddy1406 on it. which is only 600cfm and it seems to surge at low speed(around 20 mph).

Yep, Hey dan what website is that because i am missing those top rubber pieces that would allow me to tighten it down
-
Do you have any pics ? I'm pretty sure I might have lost the top bushing or the guy before me had it on wrong.
-
Hey guys, Does anyone have pics or detailed instructions on how to mount the radiator core support to the frame ?

What did you do to your Monte Carlo today?

Finally got the Monte pulled apart after the wreck. All damage is officially cosmetic. Should have her running by the weekend.

Ok so here is the update, i finally talked with allstate and there appraisal almost matched mine from the info i got from hagerty so i will be receiving my car monday hopefully and a check shortly after. @jaredrichey do you still have any or all of those parts ?

10-4 Thanks for all the help guys

Jared, Thanks for responding i will call you as soon as i settle everything with the insurance company, that way i will know exactly what i'm working with. and both the doors still open and close fine but the driver side fender got warped a little from the hood moving so i know i will probably need that as well.

Hey Bill, i guess i did write that a little awkward. no the guy that caused the accident did stop and my insurance is going to speak with his because he did not open a claim because he did not get hit. my claim lady was telling me he would be classified as a phantom car in the matter but is still liable if the investigation shows it. beacuse even though i had the right of way i was told the police are going to write it up as no one at fault.
