The number that my 1970 gm service manual listed was 1111963 OA15. Since my monte is all numbers matching I want to make everything correct. Thank you for all the help

Thats a good one, I told my friend at the parts store I was wrong. He said he had a few of these distributors and would let me have one it they were the correct one for my monte.

Thanks all to your help. I also looked up in some of my service manuals and found the number should be 1111963 OA15. It showed it was not HEI.

I am finally starting to restore my Monte 454 SS. My question is did the 1970 454s have an HEI distributor? I had a disagreement with a parts guy that they did not start usiing HEI until 1975. Can anyone tell me if they did.

Sendo,
I purchased my rebuilt compressor several years ago from FGMCC member Bob Lyman (lastss). I believe he is still in the business of refurbishing them as shown in this recent post (click on this LINK). Good luck.
Hi Dennis, I made it back to TN. Has anyone tried to find a company that could reproduce these diaphragms

I intend to have body completely sand blasted. I will be removing all seam sealers plus all lead if there is any before having body sand blasted. Lead was still used in the 60s and 70s I want to make sure I use all the correct material that was used on this Monte.
Thank you

Hi Jared, Thank you. I wanted to verify what was used in the seams. I want to restore this Monte as close to how it came from the factory as possible.

Greating all, I will be performing a frame off restore. Does anyone know if they still used Lead for sealing the roof seams

Restoration Parts Source Company in California. Warning
I recently tried to purchase a new dash for my 70 Monte and stop short of selecting purchase button and decide to call. I tried numerous times and got no answer just hangups. I went to BBB site to check status of this company. All bad reviews, about individuals paying for parts then never receiving. They have been calling to get their money back with only hangups. So for no one has gotten any of their money or parts. Just wanted to inform everyone about this company.
