Scrolling thru ads and it looks like Andrew (AJ1970) has a dealership listing his car.

Wait… what?? EVC DOESN’T stand for Electric Vehicle Charging?
Disregard.

True. But Joe could fix that with his eyes closed. He could weld wings on a fly...

"Pulled the pump. Didn't see it at 1st with the Camera and the flash. . Once I got a bright flashlight I saw it. Flaw in Casting. If you zoom in on 4, you can see it well. Thanks everyone, time to find a new one".
That's just crazy talk, dude. You're seeing something that ain't there.
Anyone with even a modicum of mechanical knowledge knows that is a telltale sign of REVERSE Cavitation (AKA "RC"), where it fails on the outside of the pump case.. What you have is a textbook case. And not for nuthin', but likely the worst case of RC that I've ever seen.
I hope you saved the receipt...

But it’s a good one. lol. I even cloned the build sheet. Ha.
Well done. Most don’t have the mad skills to pull something like that off. You might as well see if the Ohio Department of Transportation has the vanity plate of “DOLLY” available and call it a day.

In answer to welding. I don't weld anything that could break again and leave me stranded in the desert with my wife and family.
Why do I hear Banjo music from Deliverance ?
Anyone want to weld my new Edlebrock Carburator on while I'm here ?

Again , I'd back pressure and clean the system before changing the pump. If you have any doubts about what I'm saying I'll gladly explain it. My Email address is shown on my profile page or you can PM me here.
I suspect this problem could be caused by Cavitation.
I usually see my dentist for Cavitation.
I’ll be here all week… try the veal and don’t forget to tip your waitress.

I also hope all is ok. How bad was it? I can’t imagine that it couldn’t be fixed. Probably could have bought it back from the insurance company. We have a part or two in the group and a little bit of knowledge to get it done.
Here’s how bad it was…
hope ya don’t mind me sharing, Bill. A former retired coworker (Ed D. - AKA “Fingers”) knows you and/or your friends and sent me your post months ago.
I cringed when I saw these pix. Hope you weren’t hurt too bad.

I have no clue, Willie. I just pulled the first GIF that caught my eye on an app on my phone after searching “street fight”. I just now searched “dancing banana” and this is one of dozens that came up. Maybe Rob and Joe can learn some new moves …

Ohio, hhhmmmmmm???🤔🤔. Ya don’t say. My memory is a little fuzzy right now, but I seem to remember hearing about a Monte Carlo vehicle and parts hoarder from that neck of the woods who’s always chasing parts. Why chase parts when you can just chase whole vehicles? Yep, my Spidey senses are tingling.
all kidding aside, I hope they recover the car before it’s destroyed.

Thanks for the update from the 2019 post. Also read the interview. That must have been quite the honor to get a personal tour. I had heard of the car but knew nothing about it. It was a good read. I noticed the rockers were body color. Was wondering if the 70s rockers were painted satin black like the 71s and 2s. I’ve noticed on a lot of repaints that that detail is often overlooked, or did it vary from plant to plant.
One of the many documents I have for my ‘70 is a five page description of everything about the car after it was reportedly frame off restored in 2003. The guy who owned her at that time quite extensively described everything about the car to help facilitate the sale. He specifically referenced the rocker colors. So I could only speculate that it varied from plant to plant. Following is what he wrote regarding this…
Note: Some Monte Carlos came with "blacked out" rocker panels and you'll notice that my rockers are not blacked out. According to the body man and painter that worked on the car, this Monte did not originally have the blacked out rockers and the car is correctly painted without the black.

You are a young whipper-snapper.
I won't argue with you regarding shadow Grey being a beautiful color.
Regarding June not being considered an early build... since production for the 70 model would end at the end of June and plants would be starting production of the 71 models, a late June 70 Monte could not be considered anything but a very late build.
rob
That makes sense when I read it now. But now you have me scratching my head trying to remember where I read about the Halo and headlight trim being on “early” cars. If I find it I’ll share it

Glen the Full Halo and chrome strips below the head lights are not an indication of an early built 70 Monte. My 70 Monte is a late built Baltimore car built in the 3rd week of June in 1970 and it has both the Full Halo and the trim under the headlights.
rob
Perhaps I misunderstood something I’ve read along the way then. Literature I’ve seen referenced halo trim as being installed predominantly in “early” vinyl top applications. Maybe it was early(ish) cars that got the halo roof trim treatment?
One could reasonably argue that June isn’t “early”… although the strike may have something to do with these pieces still being around the plants that late into the year.
I also recall reading that only a couple of plants used the very limited headlight trim until they were “out of it” (Baltimore and Van Nuys?) Either way, both are considerably rare items (not options).Quirky stuff regardless… like - if memory serves me correctly - Van Nuys using only chrome side mirror(s) to a certain time. Correct me if I’m wrong on this… things blend together at times.
* Fun Fact: your Monte was built the same week I was hatched.
PS - I see you didn’t challenge my declaration of Shadow Gray being the best color ever 😉

Flip it back over and check for the fiber optic cables I need to complete my Vigilite system, please.
That is all.

Awesome! Looks to be an early build car with the halo top and the chrome strips under the headlights. Not to mention the best color (17) to ever grace the panels of a ‘70 Monte 😎

Quite an assortment, thanks for sharing. Weird, though... unless I missed it, I didn't see any EVC's (Electric Vehicles/Cars) 🐀🦵
