I meant to say that you won't get full advance if the cylinder has failed, just the vacuum advance. Not the actual electrical advance as well.
-
The little cylinder at the "y" connection is a temp. controlled valve that only allows for vacuum advance once the engine is warm. If it's failed, you won't get any vacuum to the distributor.
The modulator lines are the two coming out of the intake manifold between the carb and distributor, and they look a little aged too.
If you're not going completely stock, you may want to consider going to an "HEI" ignition system. They're lower maintenance and less prone to the effects of humidity.

Oil pan bolt (#2 or #3 from front) I believe. Just behind the fuel pump. It's to keep the wire from falling against the exhaust system.
-
The cold will do that, but so will leaks in the line. Probably wouldn't hurt to replace them.
Where does the line exiting the top of the picture lead ?

Paul, if you go to the Hedman Header site, they have a page that you can fill in your requirements and get the recommended part number.

I’m thinking your part is the transmission line bracket. Passenger side on the oil pan. But it doesn’t look like it’s all there. Or you could be correct in it being the positive cable holder. Passenger side oil I believe 2nd or 3rd hole. But I’m not 100 percent sure.
It looks more like the positive cable holder. If it's rubber insulated.
The transmission cooler line holder is taller and narrower, to stack them one on top of the other, and has a return bend to keep them in place.

You might try Kijiji or something like that. Occasionally I've found someone parting out a car that is past the point of restoration. There have been a few, but earlt spring seem to be the best time.

I found their prices a bit on the high side, but similar quality to Parts Place.

I don’t have a second one. I could screw with people and put a boost gauge there. Lol.
And "SFI TURBO" on the hood ?? LOL

I built a mount that I bolted to the bottom of the dash above the center console..... It holds 4 gauges and the switch for the transmission. No interference at all.
Mind you, the ashtray doesn't open all the way anymore.... Small loss.

Funny how one never notices something until they have one of their own....

yes, being Canadian can still lead to some confusion as to the spelling/pronunciation of works.... Like the infamous "Zee 28"
Confused the **** out of a guy in Vegas when I commented on his sweet "Zed". lol

The original holes had been drilled out or stripped, due to rust, maybe ?
So they're nut and bolt assemblies. Either way, the brackets are now permanent and coated on the bottom side.

Tons of little things to keep you busy...
Once you get all the little maintenance issues resolved, I'm sure she'll purr like a kitten. And that should take care of the mouse issue.

I bought my Monte just before my knee replacement surgeries, so once I was able to get back at her, I found I couldn't get the seat to go back far enough to get in easily.
I built flat brackets to reposition the seats. The real bonus of this , I found, is that I no longer have to go under the car to pull the seat..... Just four quick nuts to remove and out comes the seat !! So much easier.
-
I thought I was the only one who pulled the seat to work under the dash..... lol

At least you've got a garage... lol
Paved my whole backyard to play with Montelishi.

But the nice thing is that Pat is local.... The shipping fees these days are mind boggling.
I ordered a $26 hood liner from Parts Place, and the shipping was $47. OUCH !!!!

It’s harder to solve a simple problem when the flasher and the warning buzzer (seat belt alarm?) are draining the battery!
I worked in the fire alarm industry for the last 10 years of my career, so annoying lights and buzzers became easy to ignore... lol
As long as you keep a charger connected to the battery while you're working on things, you eventually stop worrying about draining it.
-
What other parts does Pat have ??
I'm still looking for the correct hood spear for 1970.
-
One thing you may find, as I did, is that as the plastic parts wear in the steering column.
Sometimes the turn signal wouldn't turn off after competing the turn without pulling on the hazard button.
This was due to the tab on plastic piece that the signal lever mounts on had worn out. Easy enough to replace.

Does the Pertronix system still incorporate a coil ???
