  1. Large car show at the old muscle car museum in Port Charlotte, FL. Great time. Many old cars I haven't seen in a few years. Lots of lookers and conversation on my Monte. Finally now getting to enjoy some shows and conversations. Really proud of my car. Took a long time to get here. I'll post pics later.

  2. I rebuilt my 1972 402 motor.  A few things that I did to increase the horsepower was

    - Bored to 30 over

    - Silv O Lite cast aluminum Pistons

    - Dome crown 8cc

    - Bore 4.125 in

    - Compression ratio is 10.25:1

    - oil pump Melling high volume

    - Camshaft - Mellings M-select class 1

    - Intake .270 lift 288 Duration

    just to name a few things. Car runs fine but decided to give it a little more spark. Curious will the dyna-module affect my stock coil which  in my HEI distributor? I just replaced the coil but it is a stock coil not an upgrade. The 72's, as everyone knows in the big blocks, horsepower was grossly reduced. Just have to give her a little steroids!

    Thanks for any help.

     

     

  3. Greetings! I'm a new member to the club. I've been a first generation Monte Carlo fan since I was 18 years old. I've had a few of these beautiful cars in my life and as the saying goes, " hind sight is 20/20".

    Many years I wanted another one, they were always out of my price range.  3 years ago I finally saved up enough to buy a 72 402 big block, bucket console, triple black car which needed a lot of work. Finally finished restoring her this year. Looking forward to meeting and talking with other members with their beautiful "girls".  More pics coming soon, finally got on the website, had some difficulties logging in.
