Welcome Nick! Looks like you got yourself a nice car to start with!

Hey Jon. I have 15x6 and 15x8s on my Monte Carlo. They are from wheel continues. The front are curved and rear are flat.

Rob, I'm sorry to hear this news. I was hoping the wife would honor her late husband's wishes and sell it to you.😓🤬

Hello all! So, today we took the quarantine built with in stock parts Monte Carlo to the track. Atco, NJ to be exact. To see what she'll do. Had a good day. Found out we have a fuel problem at the top end, sprung a leak in the brake line from the proportioning valve to the rear but other than that, a good day. Best time was a 13.20@103

Welcome Gilbert!!! Like Rob said, we love pics! Lol

A roller will make more power than a solid flat tappet cam. Also, with a roller you can use any oil with a hydraulic or solid flat tappet you should use an oil with a high zinc content. An added expense every time you change the oil.

I'm running a solid flat tappet cam in my 496. What are your plans for your car? The valve train is noisy compared to a hydraulic lifter. Your supposed to check valve lash, none with hydraulic. Now a days you can get a variety of hydraulic cams with better profiles to out perform the old LS6 solid cam. Not that it was a bad cam in its day.

Please keep all that white stuff up north!! Lolol. Not looking forward to it anymore. Lolol

You're welcome and that's why we are here. To help each other out.

The way the coil is pictured is upside down. The top of the coil is on the floor. The "pigtail" is supposed to located between the 2 holes in the pocket of the lower control arm.

Nice looking 72! That's what the club and we are here for, to help each other with whatever is needed.

Welcome John. The filter is located where Willie stated. Good luck! Pics!!!!! Lol

I hope someday my 71 402 "barn find" will be as beautiful as yours! Almost the same options as yours. Just not as nice. Absolutely beautiful!

Absolutely beautiful! Love the colors! Happy anniversary! Have fun and be safe!

All the first gen Monte Carlos came with plastic fenderwells and rubber splash shields. They don't burn or melt.

Checked all of ours, not a one. 😞

She's a beauty indeed! Love it! Keep the pics coming!

Sweet ride!!

Funny you ask, we have tri-power set up, 2 4bbl set up aka "bathtub intake", trim, 421 H.O. engine and a slew of misc parts... "In stock"

Kevin, sweet looking ride. Love the story! If you need a hand getting the ole girl up and running, let me know. I'm in the neighborhood. Lololol

You can make jumpers. Google it and watch a few YouTube videos. Ez pz.

Hello all. A quick update..... Finally got a chance to install a 650 dp holley style from pro-form onto my son's Monte Carlo. He's been working on his GTO convertible. Removed the 750 dp and installed the pro-form 650dp. Have to say, looks like a good piece. Right out of the box it's adjustments we're about spot on. Impressive! He road tested the Monte and came back all smiles! My brother and I told him he would be with the 650. Not that the 750 wasn't fun. It was just lacking in the lower end and throttle response. I would recommend the pro-form 650dp! Have a video of the road test but won't upload. 😡

cbolt, if he has an internal regulator alt he could jump out the wires at the regulator and it will work.

Hmmm. Good question. I know the 70s and 71s do. Do you have a black box bolted to the radiator core support on the driver's side, under the charcoal canister with wires going to it ?

I'm sure Rob Peters will chime in. He has a factory non vynal top car that is factory painted/ two tone.
