What did you do to your Monte Carlo today?
Scott S. replied to Canuck's topic in General 70-72 Monte Carlo Forum
Degreased my engine and replaced the oil line today. Was out cruising around on the weekend and the oil pressure gauge line cracked...... By the time I got her home, about two liters of fresh synthetic oil had sprayed all over the back of the motor. Has anyone else noticed how much motor oil has gone up in the last few months ???? $$$ !!! -
Wire harness clips? Power wire route.
Scott S. replied to 1Bad454's topic in General 70-72 Monte Carlo Forum
Once you peel back the wire wrap (looks like electrical tape), those are the ones on my '70 as well. Having had to rewire a lot of her, I chose to go with the other clips and the coiled protector for the wires...... Just for ease of repair. -

A mechanic once told me that the newer rubber doesn't seal to aluminum rims like it used to.... I'm on my second set of tires on my '04 with aftermarket rims, and I've still got one that I have to fill every now and then. -

We still have them up here !!! lol Two A&W's actually still hold cruise nights..... And I believe that a couple of the surrounding towns A&W's do as well. -
Window gap, can’t install molding for back window

Yeah, I know i need a new boot, but just thought that the picture might help with where the glass should sit. :) -

Could always wash it and saran wrap it for the drive....... Just sayin' -
WOW !!!! I guess it's nice to see how much our cars have climbed in value over the last 5 years !!!

Aaron.... If you also notice, the tread patterns are different too. Montelishi's spare was of the earlier pattern and the lettering was much better then the ones on the road. Sadly, it had a huge split in it, and when I took the wheel in to get the Tigerpaws mounted, the guys showed me that the wheel was bent beyond repair as well. I mounted one of the old BFG tires on a spare rim (for the trunk), and found that Vasoline did a pretty good job of brightening the lettering... At least better than some of the cleaners I'd tried.

Hey Rob... No, the one I was trying to load is a collection of video clips highlighting the "bridesmaids" to popular hot rods. The Monte SS was number 5 or 6. Just thought it was cool to see our cars making the cut.
-
O.K..... So that didn't load right... If you search the title, the article is worth looking at.

I happened across this the other day....Thought it was interesting. 9 FORGOTTEN American Muscle Cars Of The 70s! _ Watch.html

The T.V. cable (shift cable) is something best tuned by a professional..... Very fickle indeed. And yeah, every carb. has it's own version of linkage. But as I do a lot of highway driving, the overdrive in my 200r4 was worth the effort. (20-24 mpg)

Nice to see another time capsule saved.

Shock replacement recommendation?
Scott S. replied to JP_AstroMan's topic in Brakes and Suspension Tech
Is that price per set or all four corners ? -
Window gap, can’t install molding for back window
Scott S. replied to Dan72's topic in General 70-72 Monte Carlo Forum
Hey Daniel, just looking at the photos you posted... It looks like the mechanism is out of line, either bent or maybe the guides aren't in their slot ? The glass shouldn't be that tight to one side. Have you opened the panel ? The little grate below the window will let you see inside, but you'll have to pull the interior panel to really get at it. I'm also wondering if the glass is correct..... Assuming that the picture show it all the way rolled up, it looks long/tall to me. Might be that someone just threw something in that worked at the time....... There should be a part number in the bottom corner that'll tell for sure. How this sheds some light on the problem. Scott. -
Purchased car yesterday at auction

Scott S. replied to Dan72's topic in General 70-72 Monte Carlo Forum
Just a quick question Dan, How's the window mechanism working ??? If it's binding or missing bushings, or out of alignment, it may cause the molding to catch....I'm also with Willie on the door issue. That needs an adjustment. Scott. -
The worst part is that crap they make you drink....... Everything else goes pretty slick.

From the title, I thought he was talking about his colonoscopy.......

Got the fibre optic light on my washer fluid on mine as well.

As for the undercoating, I've used the Kleen-flo stuff. It's pretty easy to spray, is paintable, and doesn't harden like a rock. Mind you, heat from the engine might have an effect on that.
-
With a body like that, it'd probably be to hard to bend and pick up short people and pets..... Maybe if you bench pressed them up ???
-
P.S..... We love pictures. And crayons. LOL
