Terry was a hell of a guy, met him through the club, was looking forward to seeing him and his wife next year at the meet

[Auto to standard swap, crossmember issue]

I just swapped a 5 speed into my previously auto car, is there a difference between the two in the crossmember?

[Z bar bracket frame mount location]

Thank you all, yes, the bracket is different but I do have it. I apologize,  I did not look before asking the question.  The holes are in the frame. Looks like the proportioning valve may have to move. Will keep you posted. I have to get it running and move it over to a buddy's. Bought a 5 speed kit from SST for it

 

[Z bar bracket frame mount location]

I am converting from auto to standard, is the location for the z bar bracket pre drilled on the frame or do I have to “locate” it. This is for a 72

[Staples]

Hello Willie, got er done, thanks for the help. Sorry it took so long to get back to you, looks like it was done at the factory. 

[Staples]

[Staples]

Thank you

[fan shroud]

Hey Willie, where di you get the staples?

[Staples]

Hello 

Do you know if there is someone who makes the staples that hold 2 fan shroud pieces together?

[Turbo 400 swap]

I found it, thanks for the help

[Turbo 400 swap]

Hello folks, I have swapped out a turbo 350 for a 400, I did not know the brackets for the shifter cable would be different. I need the bracket that bolts to the pan that holds the cable, and, if it is different, the one that the end of the cable mounts to. I would prefer oem. Does anyone have some for sale?

[2 barrel to 4 barrel conversion]

All parts are stock, with the 2 barrel brackets the throttle held open a 1/4 inch and the kick  down cable wont allow full throttle even if I pull the lock up.

[2 barrel to 4 barrel conversion]

Hey folks, I am in the midst of converting my 350 2 barrel into a 4 barrel carb car. What a pain in the backside. I got a bunch of brackets, a couple throttle cables and though I could use the original kick down bracket but that's a big nagatory right there. Anyone out there have the stuff I need to make this happen and still look like the factory did it? 

[Windshield Washer Sprayers]

Thanks, will look closer, lol

[Swivel buckets, where they available before 73?]

Thanks Rob, I will let him know. wasn't sure if he could, he owns a Vista Cruiser, lol

[Windshield Washer Sprayers]

Thank you. Are the sprayers different between 70 and 72?

[Swivel buckets, where they available before 73?]

Thanks, that's what I thought. Does anyone in the group know where I should tell the guy to look?

[Swivel buckets, where they available before 73?]

I was at a car show today and was asked if I knew where to get swivel buckets and I told the guy I would ask but that they were second gen stuff so I wasn't sure. He told me that they were available for first gen.

[Windshield Washer Sprayers]

Hello folks, Where do the squirters mount on a 1970 Monte? My Monte is a 72 but I got a hood from a 70 and there are no visible provisions on the 70 hood like the ones on my 72 hood.

[Interior color match issues]

Thanks for all the help, the paint supplier for the guy that painted the car was able to mix up something real close, now to get the glove box to match the dash, lol

[SBC 400 making noise]

I have this engine in my Monte, I believe it is a 400 because I took it out of my truck and bolted it in with my 350 flex plate and when I started the engine it tried to jump out of the car so I went to the parts store and got a 400 flex plate, swapped it out and it ran smooth. Recently though, it has developed a lifter noise. Now just so you have a little background, the last time I changed the oil was 5 or so years ago. In that 5 years the car may have had 30 miles on it. Could this be the reason for the lifter noise or is it more serious?

[Again with the holes]

Thanks for the help, always great coming to these boards

[Again with the holes]

Thanks, I was able to find the holes by looking down the opening at the quarter glass with the rubber parts removed and using a pick with a 90 degree bend in it poking through from the inside. Now, where do I find the barrel nuts and what size are they. The parts store I went to didn't many sizes

[Again with the holes]

Hello, I recently had the vinyl top replaced and was wondering if anyone has a trick for locating the 3 holes for the Monte badges that go on the sail panels ?

[Vinyl Top Mouldings]

Aaron,, you are saying that I can the metal clips for the lower body moldings locally?
