    I just saw a headline somewhere that the local big cruise in was cancelled because of such antics. 🙃

    I don’t blame them at all. There’s unwritten rules and codes that demand strict compliance at these shows.  I can’t tell you how much it impresses me to see kids at shows who stand with their arms behind their backs as they lean in to take a closer look. I always compliment them and their parents in such instances.  

    But there’s always at least one or two jackasses who have to get sideways leaving a show. And it’s always inevitably too close to people or cars.  

    There’s a time and place for everything… Dumping the clutch at 5000 RPM on the way out of a family oriented fest with kids nearby?  You’re a special kind of stupid who needs to be talked to when located at the next show.

    Is This a Fiber Optic Light?

    Not sure as far as part of the U46 monitor group, but the 72 Customs have the ashtray fiber optic light. The fiber optic plugs into a special lamp socket from one of the instrument cluster lamps.

    Also has the underwood, mirror lamps, etc. as part of the Auxiliary Light Group, RPO ZJ9. 

    Thanks.  That’s what I’m looking at… That socket with the fiber optic cable. We’ll see what others might chime in with before I commit.  I have a counter offer good for about 20 more hours.

    Naperville, Il, close to Glen I think.

    Very close if anyone needs me to check it out in person or grab it.  Got a high school buddy that lives in Naperville.  Could use it as an excuse to have beers with him.

    Yes it is. And he needs that to help make his car look real. Or at least closer to real. 😝

    I might pick it up just to use it to whip you.

    Here are a few more pictures of this awesome Monte. It's an all original 15,000 mile car. The 1,700 mile drive home from BC is one I will never forget. 

    Only took 52 years, but you probably finally got those rings set. 🤣

    Steering column

    Technically yes but on the 4 speed the lock rod arm is straight and about an 1 1/2 long. I’ve done the conversion above twice for automatics. If I’m going to purchase one it needs to be correct for the car. 

    For some reason, it just came to me (probably because I can’t think of anything irrelevant at the moment with which to muddy this thread).

    For what it’s worth… that guy out in a suburb not too far from me where I went to pick up that steering wheel for you also had an assortment of columns if I recall correctly.

    I’m looking for a true 4 speed tilt column for my 70 chevelle. If you have them you don’t need them for Monte’s. lol. I recently found out the one in my car is from a Camaro and my brother wants it. So I’m giving it to him. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. 

    I got 2 of 'em... and you ain't gettin' either.
