An update on my car, been out putting some miles on it, getting everything broken in again the new driveshaft is working out pretty nice, laid down a bit of rubber just to see if it would, not a problem.

So I had to order a new driveshaft, custom built this time so while I’m waiting decided to tackle the gas gauge issue. New send unit with AN8 fittings this time around. A work of art 😊
So an update: everything is back in, the vibration is gone, gas gauge is working again, I’m a happy boy. Now if it would stop raining I could go for a drive.

Hey Paul, looking good. I did much the same thing for
mine
see attached. I used 14” fans too and a shroud.

Hey guys, I’m just looking for some input, I have a 1972 Monte, modified, running a 555 ci big block, a th400 manual shift transmission, I’m having problems I think with the driveshaft, it is the original one. I changed the transmission yoke to a strange yoke that fit the th400, (and having said all that the car hasn’t run since 1993 when I took it completely apart and that driveshaft has moved 3 times to different houses) I have a massive shake at around 60 miles an hour when I accelerate hard, definitely in the drivetrain. Any ideas? And to install the current driveshaft I have to load the rear suspension in order to get it in.
And happy Canada Day!!!!🇨🇦

I feel your pain , I don’t know how many times in my life that I’ve been there, now 66 and still have the same problem just not with my monte
-
Awesome, I put full pipes to the back, cannot hear much from the car but apparently they are pretty loud. The joys of big blocks
-
The only track time it will see is when I go for lapping days at one of the road tracks up here, my 27 old son doesn’t believe that it will beat his modified RX8 on a road track, he’s under the impression that it is only good for a straight line. He’s so wrong 😂
-
But I do understand that, I have already modified mine so much that I’m past the point where I worry about it
-
Ahh, all you need is a new burled woodgrain inset, no one would ever know
-
Yea, they are, fuel pressure and the engine temperature gauges, I put 3 on the console, and the fuel had to be outside the passenger compartment so I just added in the temperature gauge because I think it is more accurate than the stock one.

So I put the last parts on my car today, it’s mechanically complete now, I have a lot of tweaking to do, but from a bare frame 3 years ago to now, wow I can’t believe it

Sorry this took so long, my truck broke down and I had to fix it, see attached photos for the wiring diagrams, all Monte Carlo related, and nice job so far
-
Very cool, if grandad needs a wiring diagram let me know and I’ll take a picture of it tomorrow and send it your way

Finished tidying up the engine bay today, i got rid of all my painters tape and colored electrical tape marking from the disassembly lol. I installed the water temp and oil pressure pods under the dash and used some of that flexible wire loom (black) to tidy and hide the additional wires i added in the harness under the hood. I also ran and extra wire through the firewall for future possible adds, to be used as a pull string so to speak. Also ran a pair of wires for roll control (which I plan on installing somewhere mid or post break in). Hope to get the exhaust finished this weekend (rain is playing havoc with my garage work) and trying to get on a buddies schedule to help put the hood back on. Two of us removed it but figured having 3 for the reinstall would be prudent lol. And I can actually say the shelves in my living room are starting to look a lot less like a parts room.
Here’s how
to put a hood on all by you
