Just saying you may want to go with an updated radial tire, better ride ..

Just my choice, Edelbrock.

Can you give us a little more detail of what you've done, parts pieces? Lots of knowledgeable people here willing to help. And thank you for your service in the military 👍

Welcome to the madness, lets see pictures! 😁

I use a zinc oil on my non built / stock Merc, I use what the manufacturer recommends on my crate in the Monte.

Thanks for the update on the laminated colored schematic. I will have to order one for the garage wall too. 🤣 As far as your other comments, and that's the "snowball effect" ! 🙃 But on a good side, going through the harness should lower your possibility of a critical electrical issue on the road or even worse fire.

same here, well some of the time 🤣I noticed a immediate difference once I instlled my elec fans with the temp sender. Thats why I bought one for the merc for x-mas. Now I spend 1/4 of the time checking the gauge

One of the first things I bought when I got my Merc was a aluminum racing floor jack from HF, went right in the trunk 🤣

Thanks, I like that the part you got also came with the 2 plugs in case you didn't use one or either outlets. I used a "spare" block port on my monte, didn't have that option on my mercury

WTH ? Did you spill your porridge bowl in there ?

How did you confirm the fitment ? The Dorman website chart only goes back to 74 and says won't fit a 70 (didn't ask for engine size)

Blue ovals weren't any better either back then

Man Cave for sure ..............

Welcome to the madness, there a members here that have done exactly what your doing.......lots of experience and knowledge in this group

Showed up on Ebay this am , 49.9K EBAY

Looks nice, what's up with those radio knobs ? No p/w and the 350 ended my interest, but I did like the full gauge package on the dash.

Like everyone else has mentioned, mid 30's for an SS is a DEAL....GOOD LUCK

Thats the first thing I thought of when reading Ron's post.......Flavor Flav 🤣

Yea, they do have some nice looking rides there

Looks nicely done and clean. A non a/c wouldn't be a deal breaker for me but.........with all the performance upgrades (assuming they're for go and not just for show) why wouldn't you have a oil pressure / temp gauge added? I'm also not a fan of the tach down by the console. Oh well just saw this and posted it up. There is also a 70 for sale on the sellers website but I think its been posted/discussed before here. I saw it on Ebay but linked the sellers website. https://www.admcars.com/1971-chevrolet-monte-carlo-540-650hp-12-bolt-ps-pb-c-1399.htm?sold=Available&

What a difference 👍

That made me laugh 🤣

I haven't owned a set of snow tires since the 70's..........Good thing the John Deere has a plow attachment and a bucket to dig me out 😮

Oh I got tools ...............but just like your EV, doesn't mean we'll see you at Augusta on the PGA 🤣
