They only show up on Jegs site, that I can see. The other available ones are completely different (look like junk), with NO holes or stamped relief on the bottom edge. Maybe it's their own product. If so, good on them for tooling up something with a limited audience/return on investment..

K&N, Mobil1, and the original AC Delcos (no longer available) are all good ones, made by Champ labs. The AC Delco, UPF48R line (black, for newer Corvettes, trucks) are still good quality too.

Most of the Frams are built like a kindergarten art project. Original (good GM with metal endcaps) on left, newer Delco made by fram (middle) and fram on right.

I recently read an article about Rotella. Said the diesel oil specs have changed a lot lately and may not be the best for what we do.

I use the Mobil 1 (M1-302) filters (Wix are good too), after cutting a bunch of them open. Any of the Delco's with an 'E' after them ex. PF-48E, are not made as good as they used to be, before FRAM took them over. The Mobil 1's are still of the same build quality as the original ones made by Champ Labs. Some pics of various filters: oil filters cut apart That being said, not sure about some of the Delco's out there now in the PF35 variety (larger, truck style capacity). I just ordered the ones below and will cut them open. PF35 PF35 classic PF1218

I learn new stuff around here all the time 🙂

We both know he loves you. He just has a hard time with words.

It's 23 here, and I got about 3 inches. I'll clear a couple paths and let the rest melt.

Don't encourage him, Mark.

I usually over pack all sorts of tools when loading up the trailer for the meets. I'll put the battery powered Sawzall and angle grinder & cutoff wheels on the list for this year, just in case..😁.

I'm not to the dumpster diving phase yet.

I had new PUI door panels on the car when I first got it (prior owner put them on). I needed rears anyways, so had Legendary do all of them. Glad I did, the PUI quality was about 50% of Legendary.

They did mine, front & rears. Call them up. Here is a Monte specific catalog too. That's my interior on the cover of that catalog actually. Page D11 has door panels. https://www.legendaryautointeriors.com/cdn/shop/files/2024_Monte_Carlo_Catalog.pdf?v=16300282680525283320 https://www.legendaryautointeriors.com/products/prcataloglail-monte

I'm on a retirees income now. I eat dog food..... 'Old Roy's', not even the good stuff...

Legendary

I don't have that. Just a heavy right foot.

Cleaning the old rubber off the tires so it's not so slippery/dangerous. ---- OR----- This is in the other building.

As Dennis said, for the tire sizes you have Dave, at all 4 corners, I'd probably run 32 psi as well. My other cars that have bigger/wider tires in the back, I'll usually run those around 24-26. That's based on doing a couple burnouts to see if the contact patch is even.

I got a set from the Parts Place, I think. I'll look and see if I can find a part number. They fit fine on my car. EDIT: This is from my original invoice 8.17.2019: 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SAIL PANEL EMBLEM (MONTE CARLO) - EM1679M $19.00 2 $38.00 and here is a current link to their site: https://www.thepartsplaceinc.com/product/1971/1971-chevrolet-monte-carlo-sail-panel-emblem-monte-carlo-gm-8798374-ea/4639

Oh, I suppose it makes more sense if I include what Dave had available, to show what we were working with. Maybe what I posted above would make more sense then.

That's just pretty much a RPO code list Dan. Dave was looking to find out what the individual boxes meant, though the last post of the forum link does explain those in some detail. The decoder disc I bought explains what some of those codes are, and a lot of other good stuff as well. Keep in mind, it says 1970 SS Chevelle only, but some things did cross over on Dave's sheet. The decoder breaks it down between the different plants too. I emailed the creator of the disc last night because it said there was an update to the one I had. He responded quickly and said it was just a couple of things that really didn't matter. I mentioned we're mainly Monte people here, etc. He did actually send me an Excel spread sheet of some Monte build sheet data he had, but for the most part it doesn't seem that comprehensive, just stuff he transcribed from sheets he had collected, and put in one place. It does cover 70-72, and SS & Customs though, but as said, I didn't see near as much detail as what's posted below. I still need to scrutinize it a bit more though. Pretty generous of him to send it to me though, that's customer service at its finest. Here's a couple screen shots.

Congratulations Greg, and thank you for your continued support!

Update: Dave & I talked on the phone and were able to decode as much as possible, with what was available, and not Chevelle specific.

I bought the $50 disc from one of the guys who is listed on those sites. It is specific to the 70 SS Chevelle, but there is still a LOT of good info there. I'll give you a call Dave to see if I can help. https://chevellecd.net/products/cds/bs_decoder.htm
