  1. I hope there's no damage Dennis or there will be a 71 project for sale
  2. Yeah Rob they checked it out and pressure tested it and gave me the okay. I put it back in the original box and stored it till today.
  3. Whew!! I was googling and was reading a lot of stuff about head gaskets!!
  4. Yes it was. I was like WHAT THE F!!!!???
  5. Well I bought it about two years ago used and had it checked out but didn't use it till today and BAMMM!!!
  6. What can cause it? While breaking in the cam it exploded scaring the beejeezes out of me. The side tank totally separated.
  7. Figured it out. Small wires on starter on R instead of S. Now I think I need a new Carb. Engine starts and shuts off instantly . I tried several times to prime the carb but it would not keep running.
  8. I don't know for sure but the plug is gone
  9. No Sam I wasn't going to start it that way. That pic I took when I got it in.
  10. Well guys bummer to my weekend. I put my engine back in and went to crank it and nothing happened. I was with my Monte all day from 8:00 am to 11:00 pm and I just said forget about it. I think I connected all the wiring. The only thing I noticed is that my left side headlight plug has been cut off. Someone needed one badly. I also noticed the plug for the transmission spark control switch is broken(What is the TSCS? Will it cause a no start?). My interior lights and radio comes on. No lights on outside of vehicle but I'm thinking it's because of the stolen plug but there are six or so wires that were cut. So I'm going to need the headlight plug for driver side and also the TSCS pigtail. Any help is really appreciated!! Thanks...... Rodney
  11. Still in pieces. I will make a video of initial start up of rebuilt engine this weekend though.
  12. Hey I need the underhood wiring diagram for my 71 sbc.
  13. Anyone got pics of how the bracketry is assembled to engine. I'm about to get her fired up after about 3 years.
  14. 67 seconds not bad at all in 1950 all manual labor. I think I missed something in 2013. Wow!!
  15. Bob does $115 for Greyhound sounds too high?
  16. Anybody ever shipped a hood? I need a hood shipped from Cali to Ohio. Of course not a Monte hood but one for my Vette. It's one with the scoop grafted on for more intake/carb clearance. It's fiberglass of course.
  17. Tony may God be with you and your family during this time of bereavement. Remember he never puts more on us than we can bear. God bless you and yours my friend.... Rodney
