Ian. thanks for the reply, got a manual box from a 71 pontiac, looks like everything will bolt right in. side note, what do I use for gear lube on the manual box? thanks thanh

Ian. do you remember which year s-10 you used? thanks. thanh

check the float level in the carb. might be stuck. just a thought. thanh

the GM unit will do fine, i have 2 of them in my montes. a 496 and a 427 with 10:1 and 13:1 compression. easier to replace as you can get them locally. thanh

Rob. get well soon, thoughts and prayers still going out. thanh

congrat on the move and the time. you figure where to mount the chute yet? only 12mph more. thanh

i've spent $200 for a "power-master" starter, and this "mini-starter" works the same as my power-master for 1/3 the price. i have 2 starters from that ebay guy, 1 in each monte, a 10:1-427bbc and a 13:1 496bbc. thanh

if you look close, it is the same terminal on this site as the one Sam showed you. make sure you're looking at the alternator correctly. thanh

Steve. on the monte i change them before i go to the track and leave them in for the weekend if there were no issues. on the camaro, we change plugs after each run to read what's going on in the cylinders. 1400hp plus 400hp shot of nitrous, need to know what the engine is doing. thanh

if you don't care about appearance then get one of these starter save yourself some headache. turns over my 13:1 compression 496 no problem. works for both SBC and BBC. They also came on 90'S pick up trucks. thanh

James. the rear end on the truck might have a different shock mounting points. usally one in the front and one in the back. also most truck rear ends are leaf springs not coil. by the time you cut/weld put new perch on that rear end, might be cheaper to put in new gears and a posi in your old one. thanh

what cam are you running? as stated solid lifter/ cam will make noise, hydro- cam should not, if you adjust them correctly, should not make any noise unless the rockers themselves are bad. thanh

you might want to look into Powertrax, easy to install, made by Richmond. thanh

Davey. WOW. you got that thing dial in, when is the wheelie bars getting put on? thanh

paul. looking good. always like how that car sits. love your white "parts Bench" too. thanh

Dan. what lifters are those in the picture? just curious thanh

Davey congrat, you're getting it done thanh

bmr and far apart, did adjust with the wife sitting in the car. also: Adding preload to the suspension using the ARB involves lengthening or shortening one of the downlinks and is usually done with the Passenger downlink. Adding preload can correct a car if it does not launch straight and I prefer not to add any preload unless necessary. Some people prefer to add 1/2 turn making the passenger downlink longer "just in case" but I do not like preload unless I know it is needed. Lengthening the Passenger downlink will turn the car Left. Shortening the Passenger downlink will turn the car Right. thanh

drop the pan, make sure the filter and pick up tube did not fall of. thanh

that's a nice set up. even if its a ford part. who i'm kidding, i got ford parts in my monte too. thanh

Davey. Great job on the cert and license. awesome time on the car. you'll be knocking on the "8" before you know it. thanh

you can disconnect them to see which one the fluid comes out, that's your feed line. it's messy. or leave them connected, run the car for a few minutes you can feel the lines, 1 should be warm/ hot. the other cooler. the hot is the feed, cooler is the return. hopes that helps. thanh

if you don't like the rubber/nylon lines. you can use the aluminum line that summit and jegs sells. it is a lot easier then the steel line. thanh

one motor went into the 72 the other one is on the stand and getting put together. hope to have 1 done by the end of the month. Thanh

oven cleaner, but you have to be careful not leaving it on for too long. thanh
