Yeah, thats right Sam the crossmember is different too... I also forgot the steering columb too is different...

I believe it depends on the turbo 350 weather it has a 6 inch or 9 inch tailshaft to match up with the 4spd one then the driveshaft should be the same...Plus you will have to put on a manual flywheel too for the clutch assembly to join too.

Yes Steve, I was talking about the Chevelle. I had no intent to get hopes up it just didnt dawn on me at the time to mention it.
I will ground out the Black wire anyhow just to close the loop and as the other guys mentioned that too. Yes there has been for years the thought of a LS-6 Monte somewhere maybe out there and Definatley in the Chevelle,But haveing an LS-5 4spd Chevelle SS there has got to be a LS-5 4spd Monte SS out there somewhere you would think?

Thanks Robert and Mike,I plugged in the orange for now and works fine...but cant help but wonder about the Black wire? maybe I need to ground it out on a bellhousing bolt in order to complete or close the loop.??? Darren.

Hey guys need some help with the kickdown wiring..I have a 1970 that was originally a 454 m-21 4spd car,but somewhere not too long ago it was changed to a TH400 and the kickdown wiring has the typical 2 pin plug boot that goes onto the side of the tranny which was probably fine for the 4 spd.But the TH400 only has a provision for a single pin plug. The orange would be the power it needs to activate it I would assume.?? But what do I do about the Black wire????? Does it need to be looped to the orange or grounded out somewhere.???? any input would help......
PS. The car will not stay an auto for long as it will go back to a 4spd again once all the stuff is found so this is a temp fix in order to get the TH400 working fully....Darren.

Hey MG, let me know if the car is from Oshawa Ontario Canada, and I will give you a hand with phone numbers up here and names to get you in contact with...GM Canada documented really well and the package is cool,the GM doc list comes on a GM letterhead with RPO numbers and the options listed for your car and lots of other stuff. One of our other Junoir members over in Nova Scotia named Danny got his 1970 Monte SS with the GM docs and info and my 70 chevelle as well. any of the local GM dealers up hear can get it done for you for around $50 as well takes 2 weeks.....

They are both the same color which is black but there is a difference in the finish even though it sounds the same...
The Firewall is a Semi-Flat Black and the pulley's and brackets,hinge's are a Semi-Gloss black....I believe or at least that's the way I did all three of mine, but check to see what the other feedbacks are weather they agree or not.....Darren.

The other problem areas that could cause a fault or a bunch of faults are on the pass side of the tranny there is a vacuum pod that has a rubber hose attached to it which runs up to the intake that hose may be split or come off causing it not to go into gear properly or allowing the fliud to go thriough the internal plenum properly when the Detent cable shifts the adjustment rod inside the tranny. the bottom part of the tranny will look like a mouse maze with 5-6 check balls or ballbearings which shift around in their pocket when the fluid travels through a modulator or gouvenor (Valve Body). when the balls move it allows the fluid to travel causing pressure to build up to change gears from park thru to low 2. If your trans filter is clogged up that will not help with fluid flow either.Yes it sounds like a big brain fart but that is part of the internal probs it could have besides the detent cable needing adjusting from either the inside of the tranny or up at the side of the carb by the gas linkage on the same bracket..........?

Hey Doug, First off I would unhook the battery that way nothing gets shorted out. you could change the bulbs with the cluster in from lyeing on the floor looking up on drivers side other than that there are somw things you will have to undo as you encounter them, some monte clusters or chevelles for that matter had the headlight switch grounded out by the cluster which would require 3 1/4inch screws to be removed from the wiper switch and one tail one that would go across from that and another screw located on the dash frame around the steering columb area. There will also be a black ground wire that will need undoing as well attached just to the bottom right corner of the Tach housing in a 1/4 screw too. Then undo the plug main for the power feed that plugs into cluster next to amp gauge, squeeze in ends and wiggle back forth to get loose...Dont pull as you may pull out wires going into the plug.. The speedo as you mentioned would need to be pulled ...easy access under columb when plate cover is removed and reach above columb around ignition switch area with index finger and push release collar at the bottom in towards the cluster and it should pop out an inch and then your good there....the orange wire for the clock needs too be pulled off and then remove the 1/4 inch screws across the top of cluster and around beside amp gauge and then 2 down by columb one on each side and then around again by heater switch...Last but not least the wiring harness will have arrow clips holding it attached to the top of the cluster too. needle nose pliers squeeze those out nice and then remove cluster slowly but surely watching speedo cable is undone and then you can change bulbs.A new circut board can be bought at a lot of places but I got mine at Year One......the other bulbs that are already burnt are probably due to one being burnt out or a bad ground and the other is around the amp gauge the copper circut is probably broken in that curve area at bulb.....comman in every monte and chevelle.....hopefully that covers it if not ask away and someone else will chip in as well or I will again......Good luck Doug............Darren.
