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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

On big Red I used a 9" booster from inline tube. I also, like Joe have a vacuum pump hidden under the front of the driver's fender, behind the windshield washer reservoir for extra brake boost. Don't know if I actually need it but from past builds, l just added it.

Who makes them? They LOOK better than the other ones and these have the trim fastener holes. 🤔

Hey Thomas, I’m looking at your interior pictures on your Monte. If you have the cloth seats, should the door panels also be cloth like yours are?
John S
Hi John, my door panels are not cloth. I don't believe the factory did them in cloth. They are legendary door panels and match the rear factory panels exactly. I believe there are 2 types of vynal on the panel giving the appearance of cloth.

Legendary here also. Front and rear covers, foam, and door panels. Extremely happy with them.

Shouldn't the vin tag rivets be the Rosette type?

Nice John! Any pics of the whole car with hubcaps?

Most of the Monte Carlo bucket seats I have seen and had did not have the "bullet" end caps. That being said, my 70, "Big Red" has them now. Without the end caps, to me, looks unfinished.

After removing the rear seat and side panel you will need to unbolt the window regulator from the body of the car. Then see if you have enough movement to take the regulator off of the window. If not you may have to loosen the window stop (on the bottom) and possibly remove the window track itself to gain the room .

SBC to BBC Fan Shroud
in General 70-72 Monte Carlo Forum
Posted
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.
