  1. You could try starting here http://www.americanautoart.com/FLASHBACKHOME.htm#Monte Carlos Or on the cheap, you could save Bruce's image to you pc, and go to a FedEx office store and have them make a poster from it. Just saying https://www.office.fedex.com/default/posters.html
  2. It seems to have a nice family history lol. At least they provided lots of pictures. I'll be interested of what the more knowledgabe members think. The only thing that popped out to me was the driver seat.
  3. Ive posted the video I found when researching what's needed for an MSD with an HEI . He shows the extra parts needed
  4. Hey Scott, educate me.I thought the HEI dizzy had the coil in the cap. Or are you running some additional ignition stuff?
  5. Yea a little pricey for me on a survivor. I wonder if the load leveler works? I didn't scrutinize the photos but what's up with the red wire to the alternator? I know probably a ground but really ?
  6. laughing, if I were doing the project I would have posted the same question, easier to ask than smoke new parts
  7. Someone recommended to me from the forum this 303 product, I'm happy with it.My Monte gets parked in the garage so can't speak to the effects of Mother Nature Got it at NAPA
  8. The way I'm reading your directions, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, is you only need to add "parts" if your running "upgraded" ignition like MSD. The PO had a GM HEI on my 70SS454 when I bought it, The coil went bad and I replaced it with maybe a DUI maybe a another brand coil kit. The new crate also has a HEI no issues with the factory tach. My buddy gave me his MSD 6AL when he upgraded to the 7, when I researched doing the upgrade (still pending) there were a few extra parts I had to purchase to make it play well with the HEI.
  9. Yea and next you'll have me pulling out the a/c compressor and rear seats, not happening 🤣 The car runs what it runs, the driver is the issue 🤣I keep running faster than I say I will and breaking out, got an app for that so now hopefully next year 🤞
  10. Well with the other comments made I figured I'd better clarify my original post 🤣 I was mostly referring to the aesthetics of the kick panels, ie interfering with parking brake, and it is still a factory a/c car. Disclaimer also I do have an amp in the trunk, and usually set more from the back and passenger side for sound. And lastly I have maybe an hour of listening time since ive owned the Monte, I don't cruise around much so take it for what its worth
  11. This is what the PO installed, sorry I'm not with the car and don't remember the brand of speakers. That being said I like the setup and sound. I think the panels came from OPGI. Might be more than you had in mind size wise, and it does interfere with the parking brake pad along with not being a straight shot for the headlight dimmer switch.

  13. If there is a river behind it maybe 🤣 I know that's a stretch for a joke but some will get it

    Radio.

    Crutchfield has good stuff and good customer service. If your using the aux plug for something like a thumb/flash drive read the specs, make sure your compatible with 2.0 or 3.0. Some don't play well with others 🙃
  16. Just like your x-mas tree Dennis 🤣

    Radio.

    Now THATS old school 🤣
  18. Just putting this out there for anyone who's reading this that's never been to a FGMCC meet, you won't be disappointed. And as its been said before you don't have to bring your Monte to attend. Ive been to 2 without mine and had a blast. Hopefully this year I'll have mine in tow
  19. I would have bet Dennis had banana slippers 🤣
  20. Don't you have bedroom space that recently opened up ?
  21. Don't know, one of the reasons I post'm when I run across them. In one of the other threads I started it was a members car. Thats how I spend my mornings with coffee, looking at sales/auctions/shows and drag Racing 🤣
