[Count Down To Carlisle Eastern Meet]

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. 🤔

[Newbie 1970]

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

[load level compressor parts]

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

[A Bit of Nostalgia]

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

[What did you do to your Monte Carlo today?]

Sorry I can't remember who recommended the script modification for the steering wheel hub but I tried it and i love the results! thanks who ever you were.

I believe it was Joe T.

[New to FGMCC]

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

[EFI, Aluminum heads, electronic ignition, new exhaust. Anything else I need?]

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. 

[Introduction...]

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

[Floor Shifter column out of alignment]

Yes. Floor or column shift. I cannot say for sure on a 4 speed (or 3 speed) but I would assume so. It was installed for safety and security. I was all part of the plan when the ignition key was moved from the dash to the column. 

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.

[Floor Shifter adjustment]

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

[Passing of a fellow member]

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

[NEW member but old lurker !]

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

[SBC to BBC Fan Shroud]

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. 

[Earthquake check in]

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. 

[Finally made it to the track!]

"Tribute"  SS car! 

Still a nice piece of machinery you have there. 

[What goes here?]

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. 

[Underhood color]

What Dennis said, black. 

[Transmission fluid check and dipstick]

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. 

[Good Friday Easter 🐣!!]

Happy Easter Everyone!!!!!

Definitely seen that before. Was AC not available with the 4 speed?

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

[Fender patches]

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

I love this! Is that your Dad behind the wheel?

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

[My 76]

Dad had a 77 GP SJ. 400, th400, 10 bolt posi that he bought new. Was a daily driver till it no longer wasn't. 

[Spark plug wires and plugs]

I have MSD 8.8 wires with a/c sparkplugs in "Big Red" pertronix wires, cap, electronic ignition conversion, coil with a/c plugs in "Barn Find". Obviously the set up in Barn Find looks like stock. It all depends on the "look" you are going for. 

[Power brake booster]

Here is another shot. I have 1/2" spacers with a factory stock valve cover.
