What rear end are you using? The 12 bolt has a longer pinion than a 10 bolt. Also the u- joint is made by a few companies. It used to be called a "trick" joint by Lakewood. Moog also makes it, I believe it's called a "combo" joint. It has the 350 big caps and the 400 small caps.

I used the sem trim black like Dennis suggested to you on my son's dash before doing the chrome trim with a paint marker.

My 70 "Big Red" has the seat belt pockets on the console.

I guess it may be time to start to figure out where "Big Red" is and see what, if anything she may need after a LONG winters nap. 🤔

Welcome Kevin! Do you know the original color combo to your new acquisition? What engine/trans combo?

Dan aka Overdrive fabricates the brackets. They are a work of art. I have them on "Big Red" absolutely beautiful!

This is the one that is owned by Richard, from Brooklyn at the time. He now resides in Staten Island and still owned it.

I believe it was Joe T.

Welcome Brant! Beautiful Monte you have there. More pics please.

Yes Joe, you are correct, I hate the flowjunk mufflers. Lol. I personally like and recommend the ultraflo mufflers. Way quieter and all the cars in F.A.S.T. run these mufflers. They flow way better. BUT... like you said, to each their own choice. Here's a quick video. Doesn't really do the mufflers justice. Quiet inside, little roudy outside through tailpipes. PXL_20211016_192442224.mp4

Welcome Jeff! Like it has already been said, a great bunch of people here! Pics!!!!!

A 4 or 3 speed manual on the floor also has the "back drive" it locks the column and shifter when the key was removed. Factory theft deterrent.

I believe we recently helped someone with the same type issue.

So sorry to hear this. My thoughts and prayers for his family and friends. 😥

Welcome Dennis! Like Joe said, we love pics! Lolol Love the color of your Monte.

Yes, you need a big block fan shroud for a 1970 chevelle. Make sure it's for a 70. 71 and 72 are different. Then attach your "tunnel" onto the 70 shroud and you have a BBC Monte fan shroud.

Here on the forgotten NY island, Staten Island, we felt the 4.8 quake and the 4.0 aftershock. House shook in all directions for a few seconds. All is well.

Still a nice piece of machinery you have there.

First time seeing that for me. As far as I understood some early 72s didn't have the seatbelt warning light which gave the woodgrain face of a 71, no provision for it like yours has. Or it has the seatbelt warning light. Again, yours is a first for me.

What Dennis said, black.

Hi Dave. Th350 or th400? All GM cars are to be running, in park on level ground with fluid warm to check for correct level. A th350 completely empty of fluid usually takes 10 qts while a th400 takes 12 qts unless it has the deep pan which takes 14 qts total.

Happy Easter Everyone!!!!!

It was an option. My 71 402 4 speed has factory installed air conditioning.

I for one feel these new patches are way better than what is previously been offered. Thanks for the pics Dennis.

Yes it is dad behind the wheel when he was still with us. 😓
