Welcome keep posting your progress!

It will fit and it can be our little secret (not many people outside clubs like this one would know it)
-
I had to put in kick panel speakers after I installed the Dakota Dash as the driver side speaker wouldn't fit anymore. I am thinking of finding some dome tweeters as the sound from the kick panels is good but I miss the sound from the top of the dash
-
actually mine is on top of the glove box not on the door. I'd have to remove the dash top to access it.
-
Held mine down with strong double sided tape. I also have the compass/outside temp module (my steering wheel is hiding the display in the photo). you're right after tying up the wires there isn't much room for it to move if the tape gave out.
-
Where did you mount the computer? I found that on top of the glove box is a good location
-
Any suggestions on a good company to ship my Monte to the lower 48? I'd like it to be enclosed since it would be coming from Alaska sometime in the next year. My target move is somewhere in Virginia. Probably need a place to store it as well until I arrive.
-
I don't have a schematic and was wondering if anyone knew where the lighter ground was terminated at. The center lead reads 12 volts to ground but the negitive lead shows open when I ohm it out. I'd want to tear as little apart as possible to repair this. Any clues?

I installed a Retro Sound unit in my 72. I have the mic in the upper left corner of the windshield and ran the cable up the A pillar. I do have a bit of a noise problem with the window down but in Alaska that's a rare occurrence.

1970 Sport Steering Wheel Green?

Had mine leather wrapped and stitched to match the body color for my 72

First snow usually flies around the 1st-2nd week of Oct. and hangs around until April. not much for a show season. About 75% of this season was rain soaked. I'll probably be looking to relocate to the east coast after next year when I retire (if interest rates cooperate).
-
Lots of rain outs this year but the good days we're great! Won a couple of shows and had a lot of fun. a couple of parades and it will be time to put Big Orange to bed.

I know my 72 didn't come with one but i'd like to install one. anyone know of one that fits near the battery and tucks into the fender. I don't have much room to instlall one along the edge of the engine bay unless someone has another idea?
-
Old topic I know but I installed a Borgeson unit in my 72 and the difference is tremendous. On center feel is much improved and the car doesn't wander any more. Before a strong wind would take me for a ride now it holds the road much better. Thanks for the advice.

Great Alaska car show 6-18-23
kpcsgasp replied to kpcsgasp's topic in General 70-72 Monte Carlo Forum
2 questions that shouldn't need to be asked: 1: Is this your car? Look at the shirt! 2: what year is this? Read the plate! Yet I was asked those questions dozens of times. -
Really good show this weekend. about 150+ cars I was the only Monte (if you don't count Monte Fuego). good variety of displays, music and fun. Note the club plate on display. I was asked about it a few times.
-
Late start this year but expect to have a good amount of dates this year.
-
Anyone know where to source replacement nylon nut plates that secure the rear taillight lenses? I guess 52 years was just too much for the originals.
-
Agreed. we don't use e brakes in Alaska. they tend to freeze to the drum. although she stays indoors during the winter.
-
Used the Kenwood's that came with them. they sound ok but I might replace them later.
-
The driver's side gets real close to the e brake. And you need to put some sound insulation behind the speakers. Be careful installing them as the plastic isn't as forgiving as the stock material.

Yes
