I agree 💯%

Welcome Shawn! Pics?!? Lol. Also, to what Joe said, if you are lucky the vin should be stamped into the transmission case. Also, you can look, but no Flint car has been found to have the build sheet anywhere. 😢

99.00 plus shipping, one had deep scratches. Auction just went off. Maybe the seller will post again.

Coilovers are a shock coil combo. No spring compressor needed. Depending on whose set up you purchase, check with them as to fitting stock arms. They should. The spring sits on adjusters that screw onto the body of the shock giving you the height adjustability.

Sorry, I disagree. Both sets of tubular arms are heavier than the factory arms and the alignment benefits are marginal at best.

Personally, after installing tubular arms on Big Red and my son's 69 GTO convertible I wouldn't do it again. Both sets are off of eBay, one has the grease fittings for the lower arms on top towards the chassis making it almost impossible to grease in the future. Be aware of the fitting location. The ball joints are eighhh at best and the boots for the ball joints almost immediately start to crack and disintegrate. I would and have used moog bushings and ball joints, purchased from RockAuto (very cheap prices) for these parts and rebuild what you have. Just, if you do go this route, make sure which lower bushings you have. Round or oval or even a mix. I do recommend a front coil over conversion. You can adjust your ride height to wherever you like. Just my .02

Sincerest condolences to the family and friends. They are in my prayers. 😢

Happy and healthy New Year to all!

Lol don't remember but most 70s heads, especially big blocks can use either.

I usually use r45ts in big Red but I had a set of r44s "in stock" that I installed for Carlisle and will be changing back to the slightly hotter r45ts or maybe the rapid fire.

I have used the rapid fire plugs. They are supposed to be a step up from stock and between platinum plugs I believe. I have used them on 350s and LS engines. They have worked well for me.

Definitely not an SS but a very nice car. My son had an octane red 2018 scat pack charger, very pretty color. The pic doesn't do the color justice.

Sorry, same here.

Fan is too far away to run without a shroud as others have said.

Yes, similar to the one at the transmission selector.

If it's not consistent, I would look at the shifter in the console. Maybe the issue is there.

At this point I believe it is personal preference even though the manual shows it to be on the outside.

Hey, mines twisted too! 🤪Look at the pic. Just that the one on mine is on the inside, straighter, less stress angle. In my opinion.

The angle looks incorrect. I would put it on the inside, towards the block for a straighter travel. Here is a pic from my 71 402 4speed disassembly.

Boy do I hear that Joe! 😂

Good luck. Keep us posted of your findings.

Lol adorable!

Sounds like possible valve guides being worn.

Merry Christmas Everyone!! 🌲🎄

Yes, check the mounting hardware. Basically anywhere the cable mounts. There is also a chance if everything checked out ok that the cable has stretched. In that case a new cable will be necessary. Have you thought about becoming a dues paying member? If not, wasn't this info worth 25.00? Lololol. The best 25.00 ever spent on getting correct, precise info on the first generation Monte Carlo in my humble opinion.
