Hi Carl. The 70 brackets are different than the 71-72. The 71-2 has a "bulge" or slight kickout to the main bracket. The smaller bracket on the 71-2 also has a hole added between the mounting bolt positions. The bracket for the 70 will mount the 71 bumper correctly BUT I believe the kickout is to make room for the 71s rectangle turnsignal. The 70s round signal doesn't need the extra room. And we know the 72 has the signals in the grille. Should you need or want the 71-72 brackets I have a few sets.

I'm sorry, I should have been more specific. I'm referring to Mr Overdrive.

Dan, I have been pm'n you. Have you been getting them? Thanks.

Mr Peters, I have the same setup on my 70 Monte Carlo SS454. My other 71s and 72 do not. As far as the Monte Carlo goes, I believe the early 70s had this type of brake set up. Growing up my mom had a 70 that started my love affair with the Monte Carlo that did not have the setup that lowcadilliac pictured.

You will get a few opinions here. I personally used legendary for my seat covers and foam for my front buckets and rear seats in my 70. The covers are cloth. Legendary covers matched my old ones and are made very well. As far as the headliner, idk. Lol I need one also. I think I will get the headliner kit and have a professional install it.

Wow! Sorry for the Carnage. You can put an open chamber head on an engine with closed chamber pistons but not a closed chamber head on an engine with open chamber pistons. Unfortunately many a person has found that out the same way the engine you have has. Glad to hear you have a new engine and are putting into that nice Monte! Good luck!

It is new, or at least it was 15 years ago
The usual causes of a bad bushing is usually a bad hub on the torque converter. (Not centered or crooked) . If just the seal, a groove worn into the hub where the seal rides or like most of us, not using the car much and the seal drying out.

Ian, also think about the torque converter. Most likely worn also, the hub.

Krobb2000. Sounds like the pump seal. A fairly easy and inexpensive fix. It is the seal for the torque converter. I would r&r the seal and enjoy the car while you make up your mind on which overdrive to use. Everyone has their favorite and their reasons why. With that being said, my vote is for the 200r4. A grand national unit or Monte SS. Better valve body and servos. I don't like the gear spread from 1st to 2nd in the 700r4. Again, my .02

Hi Wayne. To remove the seat belt retractor covers you pop the secret "door" open and then remove the bolt inside and remove the cover and seat belt retractor. The "door" is usually on the skinny side that faces the back seat.

Spectacular job! She looks great! Nice job! Wow!!!! 😃👍😄

AMD Full Quarter Panel Review
in Auto Body Repair
Posted
Hi Steve. This info has been mentioned in other threads. I have made the same statement about the AMD quarter panels. I have a set of nos quarters for my 71 402 4speed and my brother and myself installed a set of AMD quarters on his 72. The AMD is as good if not better than the factory originals. All the correct holes and lines. Fitment is second to none.
If I didn't have the NOS panels for my 71, I would definitely buy the AMD! A full set of quarter panels for about the price of one NOS quarter when you find them. Just my .02
