Welcome Hugh!!! Looks like a great start for you and your daughter!

The 200r4 is the same length as the th350 and uses the same yoke. Your factory driveshaft probably slipped right in. Not sure about the strap vs the u bolts . I have had both on 10bolts. The 12 bolts usually have the straps.

Looking good Glen! Sorry, but I'm with Willie, please keep the white stuff with you! Hopefully getting to 70 Tuesday around here.

I always use the ole reliable, sorry for the word but, ford type f fluid. That's what the trick shift fluid is and cheaper, not much, but it is. Run it in all our th350s and the 400s.

Best case scenario you will need a "combo" u-joint. From the 10 bolt big cap to the 12 bolt small cap. Some find it necessary to cut the 10 bolt driveshaft or replace it. If the car is a 10 bolt but has a th400 in it, the combo joint is all you will need. But most small block equiped Monte Carlos were th350s. Everything else is the same.

How about a contact number or website so others could use him and he could make more coin? -
Check the connectors at the bottom of the columns. Compare the wiring colors and locations of each wire. Most likely the wrong turn signal switch in the new column.

Sweet!!!!
-
Ohhhh? What is the column out of? If olds, buick or Pontiac the turn signal switch is different.

With a 4L80e you will be fine with the 3.73.
-
Depends on which 10 bolt you have. If the 8.2, I would use the 12 bolt. If the 8.5, then the choice is yours. The 8.5 is just as strong when built as the 12 bolt.

My 2010 Sierra daily driver even has a trutrac after I exploded the gov-lock factory junk.

I have a 3.31 gear with detroit trutrac in my 496 70 SS Monte Carlo "Big Red" and the same exact rear in my 71 402 Monte Carlo "Barn Find" Big Red has seen more track time than street time. The 496 loves the 3.31s
-
Will fit.

Welcome to the madness Bob! Nice 71! What happened to the 70? Lol
-
3.36? 3.55? 10 bolt? Still, trutrac!
-
Alot, but NOT all in there. Lolol
-
Don't know how the swap meet will be. Just loading up some "in stock" stuff. Lol
-
Sorry, I agree with you thoughts but you can't beat a trutrac. So simple and so strong! I have broken to bits every posi you mentioned plus a moroso "brute strength" posi and a strange posi. Believe me on this one, purchase the trutrac and you can thank me later. No clutches, no special additives, just simplicity that works.

I have seen that style sway bar before. On elcaminos. All have had 12 bolt rears and no f41 suspension. Usually small block cars. Idk why though.
-
I want a monster!!!!! Send one to me please! Lolol

What did you do to your Monte Carlo today?

Old school collector gaskets soaked in water. Install, they swell up while drying and done! -
You are correct about the Flint cars not having a build sheet. None have been found. Sounds like a very well optioned Monte. The passenger side mirror was not an option. Most likely a dealer installed part or former owner installation. Pics???

Happy Easter Everyone!!!! Hope you all have a great day!!!
