Does anyone remember Steve from NY who made a functional cowl hood. From scratch. Amazing!
-
Ha, I like that repacement of my bad english, very sorry !!

Thanks guys, the clip type was sort of rivited and I ground off the back side of the stud , but it was still a [you said a naughty!] to get it completly off . I ended up grinding both sides flat and drilling it out to fit a ball stud.

Could anyone tell me if a late 70 , 71ss has a clip type connection to the throttle cable, or a 1/4" ball stud type? I have a rebuilt holly quad on the car now but was able to find a dec. of 70 7041200 quad and the real quad has the clip type connector so my throttle cable would have to be changed to fit this rochester quadrajet. Thanks in advance, John.

Could anyone tell me if they think this is a good setup for a 454 with a hot cam ?The car has stock heads on it now and I know the springs were not changed when the previous owner worked on the motor. Thanks !Read thru the add it sounds good. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BIG-BLOCK...=item5197d144c3

There is also a repair kit out there for the threads on the carb intake.

I only started this post about the forged documents and the fake stamping part of a restoration. I also would build a car the way I would want to, what ever you do though, don't go that far as it just ain't right.

Just read Hemmings Muscle mag on the convertable Z28 and had some thoughts. Cars that are done to this extreme aught to be Illegal!! No stamping of blocks . No fake and weatherd paper work. Pass GO and go directly to Jail. No problem with reproduction cars with original proofs. Just like the critic says,"Who's to tell after the 1'st sale of the car.".

You might find you might need to change the spring tenstion if you have less than stock vacume.

One thing I ran into when replacing my sender, the fuel gauge read 3/4 full when I filled up. I had to bend the float rod a little to get a true reading, then I was all set.

George, any help on the correct date code Quadrajet will be great, it's in my plans for the car, thanks John. The car is what it is, not perfect but I think it should remain as original as possible and still be able to drive it.
-
Thank you George, the car is a low milage (41,000) 71 SS, can't find a build sheet though. The carb isn't original , it's a Rochester rebuilt by Holly w/ no part #'s. Trying to keep it original, but things wear out.(ha-ha)Using Moog ball joints and tyrods as the price of GM ,if you can find it is very costly.
-
Is the build date on the cowl tag and where if it is ? Thanks
Found it it's 1c 3rd week Jan. -
I was planing a front end complete rebuild but after reading some posts about restorations and looking at what really needs to be done I'm limiting the work. My car is a71SS with 41,000 miles on it. The car is 37 yrs old and the ball joints and tie rods are in need of replacing. Ive always wanted to get GM parts but they just are'nt available. Moog is a quality part and I'll use them for all. I like to drive this car so things are gonna wear out. These monte carlos are an awsome looking car , wish I had room for another that I could just drive and modify as I would like.

I'm looking to find out if a Feb 71 date code on a carburator is ok with a December 70 intake ? thanks john
-
Thats right Greg, the part #'s for 70 bezel's are 3965958 & 3965957 and they are rounder looking.
