Ok I'll check for I'll try to find the wire THANX

Yes it is a California car, the plug in the picture is is on the firewall next to the distributor...... nice pics guys

Here's another part/plug I need identified please..... A.C. maybe? It's not connected to anything so I want to take it out and get rid of all these wires that aren't going anyehere

420ponies, here's what I'm looking at with my steering wheel the last pic is how it was when I took it off, the first pic is a change I made to the position of the spring,i was try to think about what u said about it touching the plate and it seemed to give the button more resistance, but as u can see there no wires connected to the button..... I need help thanx

Also I've rewired the whole car with the American auto wire kit for monte Carlo, so I pulled out most of the old engine wireing

Bruce, no I don't know if it has the original engine in it, is there a way to identify it?

Thanx guys! I appreciate all the info, I hope to keep my monte for a very long time so I need to learn it like the back of my hand.... And yes it has A.C. but it doesn't work, I suspect the blower is not working cause the heater won't blow either..... I will be posting more pics of parts to identify and learn about in the future. Thanx

So do I need these parts? What does the idle solenoid do? Is it like an electric choke? And will not having the TCS switch hooked up effect performance? Thanx guys

I took these off my 70'monte, they weren't connected to anything, what are they?

That looks dope! I have a 70, it makes me wanna take my side market lights and rig them up in the grill some How, I was planning on taking them out anyway and Bondoing up the holes, I don't like the way they did the front and rear marker lights on the 70' sorry guys just my opinion

I bought my 70 monte with a grant steering wheel on it, but the horn button doesn't work, however I know the horn blows fine because when I rewired the old ignitonion switch (I believe it was) I touch two wires and the horn went off just fine( super loud) how I get the button to work???

Thanx everyone!!!! I love the club! You guys are awesome!

Ok I got it started!!!!! I owe much to all you guys for the info, it turned out the my butterflys were stuck shut and that's why when I put the new starter in it wasn't gettin fuel or air, the new starter a.c. delco works great so far but it's only been one day lol, I'm just worried about the shims, I didn't use any but there no grinding, I just hope the placement between the bendix and fly wheel are correct

Ok i got the new starter in, but when I turn the key, it's cranking the motor just fine like its about to start, but it won't turn completely over to start, I didn't use any of the shims but I dont hear any grinding, could that be the problem? What could it be?

Mc1 thanx again, I don't care how the starter looks I just wanna make sure it fits, and.yes I brought the old starter with me for the core charge, they looked very similar except the holes where the bolts go, that's what had me the most worried, but your saying one in the front and one in the back well work the same as side by side bolts awesome, then I will try to install it..... thanx bro!

Ok guys I'm kinda stressing now, so I pulled out my starter no problem there, then bought a new a.c. delco, but it looks different then my original and it came with shims, also I had to buy new longer starter bolts, the old ones were too short, also on my original the the two bolts were side by side but on the new one they are in a diagonal position, the store where I bought it said this is how all the new starters are you mite shim them.... is that B.S.? Then I went to another shop just to ask questions and they say I must not have an original monte engine block they said I should get a starter for a 70's el Camino that has the side by side bolts, but I did notice after I took out the original starter there were 3 holes in the block even tho there were only.two bolts..... ugggg I'm fustrated,I have pics of.the new starter and the engine block holes if it well help but I don't k ow.how.to post them.....please save me lol thanx guys

Cbolt thanx alot!

Mc1 thank you, your info is very helpful! And John s thank u too for your info, is the bendix part of the starter or is it a separate part? Thanx guys

Mc1 thanx alot for the input, can u recommend a way to pull out the starter, I can't fit under the car it's too low, should I use 2 jack stands in the front or 2 on one side of the car (1 in front and 1 in rear) thanx again

Recently my 70'monte carlo won't turn over, when I turn the key it trys to start, then it stops but you can hear the starter humming a "vvvveeeevvv" noise, Is it the starter or solenoid, please help thanx

Hey I had almost the same problem drove my 70' Monte to the store then it wouldn't start, but it started to crank then stoped cranking and u could hear the starter humming like "vvveeeeeevvv" noise, is my my starter bad or is it the solenoid? Thanx for any help, also what's the easiest way to remove the starter? I've never takin one out before

You can ground those to any convenient spot behind the dash, I believe the large wire is grounded inside the dash by the ashtray in my 70'

I have the same problem, I stripped off my vinyl top, and the roof is covered in surface rust! I would appreciate any info on the best way to deal with it, thanx

Welcome, nice ride!
