I have a "bushing" made, so maybe I can still use this piece on the drivers side until I can find a replacement. I can buy "passenger side" all day long but not the driver's side ? What gives ? Doesn't matter to me if the emission holes ,I can get plugs for those, grind and look just fine.

That's right, Driver's side exhaust manifold needed. For 1972 Monte Carlo. BBC

Help ! I've broken my Driver's side exhaust manifold for my BBC and need another one to replace it. I had them all set to go in and then it dropped from the hanger I had on it prior to painting it. Great,Just Great, fell on the last manifold bolt hole at the rear of manifold and broke off. I doubt there's a way to fix it and be able to use it. Does anyone have an "extra" ? All I can find online are passenger side. What really gets me is they were "curing" for the last 9 days with said hangers and no problems. 1 step forward ,2 steps back. On the good side, new driveshaft is ready to be installed.

I just looked on Lutty's online and they show new front fenders for '71-'72. $789.00 ea. . From what they show might be something to think about if you're repairing old fenders, could be a wash for the price. I believe they are in lower Pennsylvania?

Welcome to the MONTE madness!! Glad to hear that have become a member. Lots of Monte people here help you out with your questions. Welcome aboard my friend!pictures are appreciated also.😊

Napa, Dorman products was the choice back in the day. Lutty's might have them in stock.😊

Mow grass? Now? we have snow coming down. Besides it's going to be weeks until the ground is firm enough for the Ventrac Mower. 1,200 lbs of sheer terror !! I'll have to tip toe through with the push mower for awhile before I can let the big dog out on it !!

Big Block, 4spd. Nice!! Bets on what it goes for?

Welcome to the Club Curtis !! You'd be better off replacing all 4 door hinges. You'll like how nice and smooth they close together after you change them out. Had mine in since '05 and still working good. Doors are heavy. I've strapped them up and used a hoist to do mine.

Just wanted to thank whoever got this back on the forum. I'm still in the " re- assembly" of mine. All gauges back in place and re-installing dash. I had to pull it on due to clock ,RPM gauge and new cluster assembly ( cracked and junk ). I'm still confused kon wire from the battery to horn relay. Mine is a '72 Monte Carlo with '70 dash parts. I'm old school and like the green dash more then the white.

Cool, I'm looking at 1 right now.I knew that I wasn't wrong, just mistaken😊

As mentioned, I have been looking through the forum and I get really confused about how to change mine out from a SBC to a BBC shroud. I have my original SBC shroud. I believe I get a BBC Chevelle (???) Shroud , and use the piece that goes from the fan to the rad on my shroud? So confused right now. I'm going to work on something else now and hope I get a answer on this. I'm finishing up my Turbo400 trans install. Drive shaft length is next. This BBC upgrade has it's downfalls, but can't wait to hear it start up!!

I was cruising through Lutty's parts warehouse and came across new front fenders for our Monte's? Anyone else see this?

Leo is the man!! Always great to chat with about all 1st gen Monte's. Mine are still in and going on 17 yrs.

Good catch there Jared!! I was thinking the same thing. I have to get a new front bumper for my Monte. The engine for my ( dare I say) '88 Fiero Formula, made a scratch in mine. Broke my wrist for it though, so now I'm thinking about shortening it up like they did in NASCAR back in the day. Thoughts?
