    Congratulations on your new addition. What is your vision for this Monte ?

    Well, its already a frankenstein car, 402 out of a 69 pickup, rebuilt and souped up. the front bench is long gone.  The guy was converting over to bucket seats and console. the column shifter is still in it though.  I think I'm gonna keep on making it a hot Rod, but im going to put a bench back in it and just go with all black interior. eventually will do body work and probably a matte black pain job or something like that.  Found out last night after servicing the engine, and adjusting the valves that it has a flat cam.  #4 exhaust wont lift so it's backfiring through the carb, so I will start with a new cam and lifters and just see where it takes me.

  2. The 2nd Gen Monte’s were built differently. I don’t know all the details, but I do know they ride a lot “floatier.” The 1st Gen was built on a modified muscle car frame and as such, rides a bit more like a muscle car. 
    I love the styling of the 1st Gen the most of all Monte’s. But that ride quality of the 2nd Gen is second to none.

    Mine came with the same issue.... With the air cleaner cutting into the fabric. 

    It was pretty ratty, and I replaced it when she was repainted. Turn out to be a good thing, gave me a chance to clean up the surface rust on the underside of the hood.

    I just went with a shorter open air filter to clear the liner.

    I got a couple different spacers and I’m thinking about trying a 2” filter instead of 3”.  It’ll at least give different combination options until I get it where I want it. 

  4. Have you put a vacuum gauge on your carb/intake to test how many in. it’s creating? I recently had some brake boost troubles and I tested mine; I’m at around 5,000ft elevation and have a cam too and I’m pulling 11in of vacuum. And it’s still plenty of boost to stop my car easily. I had a tear in the diaphragm inside my booster. Replaced the booster and even with only 11in, it stops like dream!
