drop the pan, make sure the filter and pick up tube did not fall of.

Beat me too it, since you just did a service I would check that.

Pull a trans cooler line off and start the engine if you have no oil coming out it could be a front pump issue.

Austin are you going to have all four installed the same. Valve stem matching the tires in the same place on all four? Like between the OO's on Goodyear or Goodrich? A nice touch but it can seem anal to the installer. LOL LOL
The new tires will have a paint dab on them denoting where the valve stem should go so they balance up with the least amount of weight.

One more thing to have on hand is a few yards of burlap to go between the frame and foam, it will prevent the springs from damaging the foam. You will see it when the covers and old foam come off.

Those should look real nice on your Monte, I am waiting to see the pics.

Buy a hog ring pliers and a box of rings, and new seat foam because the old stuff will fall apart on you. Let the new seat covers sit in the sun for a few hours to soften them up. This is a job anyone can do if they take their time. I did mine here is a shot of it.

That is a Sedan Delivery I owned one in 72. It was my 2nd car, my first was a 64 Impala SS drop top.

This may have been covered before but does anyone know if someone has a in the dash tach with modern innards that will work with a MSD 6a? My original is DOA and needs to be replaced anyways so I was looking for some thing a little more accurate and would work with the MSD ignition. Thanks.

You would probably be better off buying a complete kit from one of the conversion companys.

HAHAHA. Never saw that before. LOL
Yea, most stores don't carry the Silver. Brass is the #1 seller.
Followed by blue.

Also when bench bleeding never bottom the plunger in the bore, the seals on the piston will be damaged if you do. You made no mention of a porportioning vavle, do you have one in the system and plumbed correctly?

Not really true, I have a factory 12 bolt in mine and it has the 9.5 inch drums, in fact I don't remember seeing the 11.5 inch drums from the factory on any A body, only the full size cars got the 11.5 inch brakes and even then I have seen the 9 inchers on alot of Impalas and Caprices from our era. I also checked Rock Auto and they didn't list a 11 inch option for shoes, just the drums.

I woke her up from her long winter nap, time to start getting her ready for another summer of fun.

The car is bouncing up and down like it is floating or bouncing over every little crack in the road and riding like it has no suspension at all?

No teflon tape, but a drop of oil will save you some heartache.

I got your PM but it was not the best offer I got, but I do wish you good luck on that other set.
-
I didn't ask for bids, I asked for offers and took the 2nd offer, the first guy only asked how much for them so that was not a offer. I was not out to rape anyone and I wanted to make sure a regular car guy got a fair deal on some parts that are very rare so he could finish his car. I even asked him if they were for him and his car or if he planned to resell them. If the person who bought these wants to say what he paid and what he recieved that's cool with me but I will not devulge the details of the transaction. All I will say is he seemed to be very pleased with the transaction.

I have a set of originals that I will never use and I am looking for offers on them.
No longer available.

What are they worth, a original set?

Didn't read every word but you MUST run the fan shroud unless you switched to E-fans.

I believe that resistor is for the coil, the oem wiring had resistance wire as part of the harness and it might have failed and was removed at some point in time.

I'm using KYB Gas-a-Just, part # KG5504.
Those would be the stock length A body shocks, when I have my SS raised up in the rear like yours those shocks only had about a half inch of extension left in them. It made the car handle the bumps poorly. How does that compare to your car and the shocks.
Note* If you need a longer shock because you have the rear end raised up from stock ride height use a pair from a 1971 Impala or Caprice, the mounting brackets are the same and they are 2 inches longer when extended.
just picked up a set of wheels for my monte

The paint dab goes right by the valve stem. Think of it like this if the valve stem is at 12 o'clock then the paint dab should also be there.
