    Sounds like a good idea to have to leveling system work, but, mine still has the original on it , which doesn’t work, and I’m hesitant about swapping it out.. 

    I have all the pieces in a box on a shelf, I know its inoperative I'll let the next owner worry about it 🤣

    On a side note... since you're in Delaware, any chance we could talk you into coming to the Eastern meet in Carlisle this year, mid June?

     

    Not that it helps you now, but I know someone who could bring you a standalone gauge for testing in Carlisle. Might be cheaper just to order one from Summit/Jegs test and return.

    Can't wait to see all my friends at Carlisle!!!!!   I know i owe a few of them, breakfast or an iced tea, lol i don't even remember!!!  lol

     Everyone knew i was working on her and they all offered any kind of help that i needed.

    I think sometime prior there was some comments made about a monetary jar at the meet, If I remember correctly both you and I have to contribute 🤣

    The 2nd comment really hit home for me....When I got back into classic cars and got my Cougar, I was telling my buddy its been so long since ive turned a wrench. He just shook his head and said you weren't very good at it back then. 🤣 But he's been there in the trenchs with me through that and the Monte. Ive received the same help here since day one with all my struggles 🤣 Especially the folks that pm'd me and said send me a pic of what your talking about or call me and I'll walk you trough it.

    I'm still in awe of all the knowledge and willingness to help another out. 🤘

    Small block headers

    Just a suggestion....Use the search engine in the forum. There is a lot of history and posts on headers over the years. Be warned, I had a legal pad full of notes when I did that, brands, model numbers, and fitment.

     I was one of the ones that initially didn't show up to the first meet with a car, because it was in a lot of pieces. Not once was I made to feel like an outsider, or unwelcome.

    Well how some things sure have changed 🤣

    OBVIOUSLY I'm joking ! For those who are "unaware" of the "imaginary Monte" chop busting going on occasionaly here its because I've been to 3 meets without my Monte. 

    As has been said, its more than just a car show, its an experience. You get to meet the people behind the screen names and see some really NICE Montes. Not to mention having some fun along the way. 

    For anybody worried that they may not want to participate in some of the planned activities, DON'T. These things are planned to try and give club members a variety of options over the weekend, they are NOT mandatory. And don't worry if you don't think your Monte is "show worthy", nobody cares. 

    As Joe said, if your on the fence, book a room, 63 registered club members should tell you something about much people have enjoyed these events

     I also use an infrared thermometer to check the hub bearing temperatures when I stop to fuel up, bathroom break or eat. If one is much hotter compared to the others, there is a problem. Better to find out and deal with it then, vs breaking down on the side of a highway. 

    Great tool there, usually $20/$25 on sale at HF, also use for rough running and checking header temps
