  1. I would like to add a transmission cooler to my 71 stock Monte Carlo 350. Is the correct size hose 5/16" or 3/8"?
  2. Just a quick question. What is capacity in gallons of the factory gas tank on the 71-72 Monte Carlo, and is it the same as the 70?
  3. Are the common paper based fuel filters really compatible with E-10, the ethanol gas we all have to use now? An example of a paper fuel filter would be the Purolator F2111. It has a plastic housing and it's translucent so one can see when it's dirty.
  4. One of the relays sits atop the evaporator core. The other two relays are to the right of the core on the firewall. The picture is still pending from Footballubet.

    Relays

    I've got a picture of 3 relays in the picture file on my computer. If someone will tell me how to attach the picture, I will do so and some generous soul out there can tell me what these relays are. They are attached to the car in the correct place.
  6. Here is a picture of a factory hitch for a 1973 Monte Carlo. It's GM number #994480. Will this hitch also fit a 1972 Monte?
  7. I need to control the night lights in a number of aftermarket gauges. I thought about adding a relay for this purpose, but I'll need to find a good place to tap off for the control voltage. This is in a 72 Monte. Expertise please.
  8. Has anyone installed the new Demon carburetor called the Street Demon? It has an unusual shape and one model even comes with a phenolic fuel bowl. It's advertised to fit either a square bore or spread bore intake. I've been a Q'jet guy from Day 1, but I think this new carburetor may have potential. I would be grateful to hear any feedback, and how well it hooks up to a stock 350 on a 71 Monte. Thank you one and all.
  9. At one time I knew the answers to this. I've got an Edelbrock Q'jet on my 72 Monte. It has a 383 stroker motor with a mild cam. It bogs down just off idle. It's just enough of a hesitation to annoy me. Now I know why some people refer to the Q'jet as the "Quadrabog". Otherwise the car seems to run fine. It's the only Q'jet I've ever had with this issue. How do I fix it?
  10. Strangba, Thankyou for the tip. I hadn't thought of that. I checked the squirt, and both squirters do appear to be equal and strong. I've read where both a lean or rich condition can cause a bog on acceleration. Do you have any more suggestions?
  11. My newly rebuilt Q'jet has a very slight off-idle stumble. You know, you're at the stop light and when you press on the gas it starts to go and then bogs down for a second before taking off again. It's driving me nutso. What could cause this?
  12. I was thinking this might be a good time to drain the fluid, drop the transmission pan and replace the screen. That should take care of any major leak from the speedo input. Thanks for the information. Since I've never done this before, the whole thing is a learning curve. I'll go very slow and hope I don't mess up.
  13. Yes, it reads 402 after my name, but this Monte has a TH350. It was my mistake for not mentioning it. I purchased a steel housing unit off ebay, but since I've never replaced one I would greatly appreciate some pointers on how to go about replacing it. I'm losing about a pint of fluid every two days. I know it's coming from the speedometer input because I jacked up the car and wiped clean everything in the vicinity of the leak. Within two minutes I could see the transmission fluid seeping out the speedomenter input. So, does anyone have instructions that will help me replace the speedometer housing?
  14. I'm leaking transmission fluid from the speedometer input. How do I fix it?
  15. I'm a big fan of Q'jets. I probably have 7 or 8 of them. Although more complicated than other carbs, with a little patience and attention to detail they can be tuned to a much finer state than any other carburetor. For all out racing, a Holley type carb is still King, but from stop light to stop light and cubic inch for cubic inch, I've outrun a lot of other cars with Holleys and AFB's installed on them. I may have the exact number you're seeking, but is that number the only one you will consider? The only difference in most of these 70-72 4MV Q'jets were the rods, jets and piston spring, all of which can be changed to suit your needs. The secondary hanger was also a factor, but not a big one.
