I can't answer that, only reason I remembered anything was a thread a long while back about them. From what I've read they are not reproduced.

I think, someone will correct me if I'm wrong Carburetor idle stop solenoids are used to reduce idle RPM to prevent engine run-on when ignition key is turned off. They also were used to increase idle RPM when the A/C was turned on to prevent stalling. Dash pots slowed the closure rate when throttle was released quickly.

A 71 MIS-LABLED as an SS 😠 https://www.mecum.com/lots/1108015/1971-chevrolet-monte-carlo-ss/?aa_id=545960-0

I think this is where all the "modification: bullying started 🤣

When I saw shoes in the vid I thought maybe Dennis was over 🤣

Yea PM, him. I got one last year very cool piece 🤘

I'm not a fan of the flippers 😠 And its not sour grapes because ive been outbid by them 🤪

Enjoy the holidays and have a safe and happy new year

A tad pricey IMHO https://www.collectiblemotorcarofatlanta.com/vehicles/981/1972-chevrolet-monte-carlo

I also went with the strange axles, luckily my buddy had a series 3 and 355 gears "in stock" so can't offer any suggestions there. (EDIT) Maybe overstating the obvious,, make sure you put the additive in when you finish the swap out

Ive had to pass on stick shifts over the years, the old knees can't handle it anymore.

Now who's being nit picky 🤣 Don't shoot the messenger I'm just posting the info 🤣

Just throwing this out there, nice little x-mas present for yourself. Very handy, I like the CD's so I can print what I need and not worry about my paws ruining the paper pages.

Just throwing this out from my blue oval experience if I understand correctly. You changed the instrument bulbs to LED's? Someone can verify if you also need to replace the flasher can.

Have you tried a dropped base ?

Hey Ron, are the bow tie emblems on the valve covers considered a modification ? 🤣

As others have mentioned, if it close go look at it. The video is a little better than the dark pictures. Main concern as mentioned "paint bubbling" and usual area rust. One thing I saw was gas gauge read E , maybe its my eyes but if not possible ground/elec issue. Do some research as your limiting yourself within a certain price range, first gen's are up in price. Below is a link for some Monte's on consignment, keep in mind there may be a 5 or 10% premium in the price if you go that route. Body and paint are EXPENSIVE, everything else is doable over time. And remember, original parts and pieces on older cars break https://www.gatewayclassiccars.com/make/chevrolet/model/monte carlo?min_year=1970&max_year=1972 Good luck and keep us posted

I gotta give props to anyone doing the power tour thing 🤘This year at Carlisle even one of the Fiero crew so had to even give'm props 🤣

Yep, a quick shot/walk around @ around 12.59 in this vid. And 2 passes

Just thought I'd share 🤘

A 72 was just added to the docket , some nice mods if ya like that https://www.mecum.com/lots/1104441/1972-chevrolet-monte-carlo/

When I talked to the rep for rotary, a 10K 2 post got a 4" and I forget the concrete spec. When the floor was pored they poured 5" and added 2" to the depth just cya.

I can safely say that's NOT happening 🤣
