John, the gm parts book shows the switch in pieces. The out escutcheon, knobs and base were sold separately. I think you would be looking for the base the catalog shows : 70-72 Monte Carlo 4306608 BASE. This looks like it's listed for a bucket seat.

Wayne, I sent you a PM

My car wasn't in rusty shape but I've been trying to put it back to stock. The prior owners did so many things to it that don't make sense. I have also been asking a lot of questions. This forum has so many knowledgeable people which is a great help. Good luck

That may make sense, like I said on my car the wire is dark green, It might be possible that the company that reproduced the harness used a green with w/stripe. Do you have the TCS solenoid and relay with the car?? Did the 72 used the same system?

15-20 bucks

Willie, my old parts book shows a anti dieseling relay listed for a 1971. The book doesn't list one for the 72 and I'm not sure where it mounted. Bruce has a 71 so I thought maybe. I also looked at a few after market catalogs to see if they show that wire on a replacement harness but nothing. Maybe someone else knows something about the anti dieseling relay location

Awesome story, there aren't a lot of those guys around anymore.

Wayne, I repaired my original float if your interested.

Bruce, my car has a spot for the second relay but I have nothing there. My TCS Relay has a dark green wire to the sensor and it looks like a dark blue and black with purple stripe to the solenoid on the intake manifold. Not sure what the other relay would be for.

I have been looking at 72 wiring diagrams and see nothing. The only other green wires in my engine compartment are one to the ac compressor and the headlights. Good luck

Willie, I looke at my engine this morning and I don't see a green wire with white. The first picture is of the right side and the second is the left. I haven't looked at a a 72 wiring diagram. MIne is a 70

Mine is bolted to the inside of the left fender. I will try to upload a picture later

Willie, my car is a 70 with a 454. The prior owner replaced the harness. My car also had a extra orange wire that ran to the trans switch with the purple and black wire. Does it have a single female connector. The assembly manual shows the orange wire is for a manual trans, they recommend cuting it off and taping it to the harness. Thats what I did. My car also has a bright green wire on the drivers side and a darker green wire on the passenger side. I beleive the right side is for the TCS relay. Maybe some one else can verify. I hope this helps and good luck....

Great Thanks!

Looks great, can you tell me where you got your double throttle return springs??

You could check with this vender, good luck!! http://www.amkproducts.com/Chevy_Fastener_Kits.asp G-5263 CARBURETOR - ROCHESTER 4V ( STUDS, HX BOLTS, NUTS, COPP WA'S )

Could it be a Thermo limiter switch? https://www.factoryairtemp.com/Upload/Factory%20Air/documents/Tech%20Tips/FA4S%20386%20THERMAL%20LIMITER%20CONVERSION.PDF

6261914 is what my parts book shows for the shroud for a big block the part number you have is the upper extension for all 70-72 monte carlos. you should check the number on the shroud. The small block shrouds are 6261912, 6261913

My car had both wires on the harness. The automatic uses the 2 wire prong. The 1 wire connector was used with a manual transmission. In the assembly manual they show it cut off and taped off.

I looks like a great start. It reminds me when we were kids and built model cars...just the beginning

Did you check all the usual spots for the build sheets??

Steve, I beleive the numbers in front of the CRN stamping are production and plant markings. Maybe someone can confirm that fact. The vin number on mine is stamped to the right. You could have the original engine block in the car. I added the picture showing my vin. Check out this web site: http://chevellestuff.net/qd/engine_stamp_numbers.htm

It almost looks like a digit between the 1 and the C. Maybe a 3 or 8??

Could it have been a factory warranty replacement block??
