  1. Shoulder seat belt retainers, they came off a 1972 Monte Carlo. Retainers with screws. (4) $30.00 shipped.
  2. Just wondering if the top of the panel is "pushed" down correctly into the top of the door.
  3. I use a silicone Squeegee to remove excess or standing water. Then a gentle towel dry. Never had any issues, no water spots and speeds up drying tome.
  4. I have one. Has a little surface rust. Other than that in good shape.
  5. Is this a stock engine? If it is 13:" is pretty low. My first check, as others have said, check vacuum lines. I take a can of carb cleaner and spray a small amount on Vacuum lines, base of carb and vacuum fittings. If that all checks out, check plug wires. Are you running a HEI distributor or the stock cap rotor and points? If you are running points you may need to check the dwell.
  6. Could you post some pics of the the car as it is now? Thank you
  7. The next time it does it. Turn the key so you can move the shifter from park to drive and back to park. Then try it. Also push on the the shifter handle to make sure it all the way up and tight.
  8. I took my big block oil pan out twice one summer a few years ago. First I replaced the oil pan gasket. Then figured out later it was the rear main leaking. So I pulled it again to install a new seal. I'm try to remember but I think I used the cherry picker to lift the front of the engine after the motor mount bolts were taken out. I do not think I removed the valve covers. I did take the distributor cap off. For safety I did put a 2x4 between the motor mount and block when the engine was lifted. The oil pan did not just "fall" out, took a little maneuvering but it did come out. I used a one pc oil pan gasket. They make a plastic "stud" that screw into the block. They hold the gasket in place while you get the oil pan back in place. Then back one plastic holder out at a time and put the bolt back in.
  9. The last pic is the headliner I installed.
  10. I installed the headliner in my son inlaws 70 Monte Carlo a few years ago. I found a couple videos on youtube. In the video the headliner being installed in a Chevelle. The process is the same. I will attach the links for the videos.
  11. I run a stock mount and a steel mount. The steel mount was a "taller" mount then what I normally use. When I replaced it with a shorter mount it straight ed out the alignment issue with the transmission. In your case if both mounts are the same this is probably not your issue.
  12. You don't have a motor mount that is broken? I had a problem with a big block, it was a new rebuild and I run a steel motor mount on the torque side. The steel mount was a little taller then the ones I normally use.The engine was not sitting square and I ended up with what you have shown in the pics. It is a long shot but maybe a motor mount that is broke and the engine is sitting lower on one side.
  13. 1971 SS Clone on the outside only. STD Bore 396 with 820 iron heads.
  14. I'm sorry I thought the question was directed to me.
  15. Tom Carter is doing the carpet replacement he is the original poster (top of the page)
  16. On my 1971 Monte Carlo I used Part # KR20067 Repair Kit, Steering Coupler Rag Joint, 1964-72 Buick/Olds/Chevrolet/Pontiac

    Found a '70 SS

    The seat pattern looks like the 70 Monte Carlo pattern. I could be wrong.
  18. I have replaced the door carpet with fabric. But have never replace with new carpet. First you need to remove the chrome divider. I did this by using a screwdriver to lift up the pointed prongs on the back side. After that is done you can pull that chrome pc straight up and out. I just pulled and lifted the old carpet off. The door pocket is sewn in place. I used fabric and did not have to sew the pocket back in place. I used a 3m spray glue to attach the fabric to the panel. I'm no expert so I don't know how much help this will be. I have a few pics. The first pics are of an old door panel with the chrome divider removed. The last few pics are of my son's 72 door panels with the new fabric I attached. This was my first attempt at doing this.
  19. Is shaft rubbing on one of the tubes? What we have done is mark the spot where it rubs. Then take a 1" pipe or maybe 1 1/4" pipe and use the pipe to make a "dent" in the tube by hitting the pipe with a big hammer. This is a two person job. The pipe will make a cleaner look then beating the tube with a hammer. You will need the header off the engine. If you would like I might be able to get a pic.
  20. I would rebuild the 350 engine you have. Bore it .030 and new flat top pistons. New heads with a 64 cc chamber. The flat top pistons with a 64 cc head will give you around 10-1 compression. Still can run pump gas. The 270 comp cam is what I have been using. With a 750 Holley carb and Edelbrock performer intake, headers and HEI distributor. This will give you a nice idle and you can flex a "little" when the mood hits you. Plus gas mileage won't be to terrible and this build won't break the bank.
  21. I had a problem years ago with oil pressure dropping when coming to a stop. But would come back up after I had stopped. I was told to drain the oil and after the pan was empty to bang on the bottom of the pan with my fist. When I did this I could her something some thing bouncing on the bottom of the oil pan. Turns out my oil pump pick up tube had come off. What was happening was when coming to a stop the oil would move forward away from the oil pump and with the pick up off the pressure would drop off for a moment. Just seems to me that being a quart low should not cause loss of oil pressure.
  22. Found this on a forum. "Sometimes the head casting number can help you identify a 350/350, but not always. Heads with the casting number 3947041 were only used on 350/300's, while the 3927187 was used exclusively for the 350/350. Unfortunately, casting 3927186 was used for both 300 and 350 horse engines. An engine with "187" heads, is likely a L-46, and one with "041" heads is a base motor, but if it has "186" heads, it could be either."
  23. Small Block casting numbers and Identification
  24. With it being a 1970 350/300 hp engine it most likely had 64 cc chamber heads. The early camel hump heads (64 cc chamber) were casting # 461 and 462 and I think there are a few others. If my thinking is correct, 64cc heads being used on a 1970 engine it would of had accessory holes in the front of the heads. The 461's and 462's didn't have accessory holes. These heads would be the ones (there may be other casting s #) that might of been used. 3927186....69-70...302/350......Camel hump,64cc chambers, accessory holes 3927187....69-70...350..........Camel hump,64cc chambers,accessory holes 3991492....70......350..........LT1,Camel hump, accessory holes,64cc, straight plug I hope this makes sense.
