Whats the ROUGH ride height from floor to wheel well or centercap to wheel well. I understand mine will vary, but looking for a rough figure to shoot for...I dont have the fenders or hood on just yet, but plan on doing that today...i hope that without hood and fenders, it shouldnt make that much difference..i hope! I do have the rad support and grill on the car...should be heavy enough! that grill weighs a ton on its own! I will see how it goes and post what happens later. Again, many thanks

awesome. thanks for the help everyone. I will go out today and try to reset the lower control arms...Thing is sitting like a gasser almost! haha.

I just installed.my sway bar. Big block car 1 1/8 diameter front sway bar. I went to the local Napa and picked up new end links. My convert is that car is sitting way too high in the front. 2 yrs ago I installed new big block springs in the front and it has sat for 2 yrs with the weight of the big block on it. They said these are the end links for this car but for one the the car sits way too high and two the link assembly almost hits the upper ball joint. ..so roughly how long is everyone's end links? How long is the middle spacer on everyone's link assembly?

I've got the 2 bottom ones....I'm gonna have to look for the too one in the pics. ... Thank you

Can some one help me out... I need to know what the bolt looks.like that holds the block where the wires come out from behind the fuse block to under the hood. It holds the 2 pieces together and bolts from the outside under the hood towards inside. I thought I had it labeled but it turns out I was wrong. A thousand thanks in advance

Thanks for the input. I will go check out my favorite speed parts place tomorrow

Big block,HEI, headers...what plug wires are you guys running? I have awesome clearance except for number 1. Worried straight boots might hit the header. Lookin for recommendations please

I was able to check it out much further today...yep...spot welds...not cool

Thanks again everyone for the help!

Thanks Bruce! I will see if I can locate some of that stuff locally.

Awesome! Thanks everyone for the help!

What product has anyone used for sealing where the kick panel vent meets the cowl? Mine has a what seems like dried up putty tape?

It just strikes me as sitting odd. Thanks everyone with the help

Does anyone else's big block power steering pump filler neck or top part sit at 10 or 11 o clock looking at it from the front back? I have what I think are proper big block brackets and pump and with the belt on aND tightened up it looks crooked.with new belt it is sitting about halfway in the adjustment range. This is the belt that Napa says it is supposed to have.leave it or get a little longer belt? I will post pics of it on Friday.

What is everyone running for exhaust on their big block cars? X pipe or h pipe or true dual? ( on almost stock or mild cam engines)

Has any one removed the vent tubes for the upper vents on the dash on non ac cars?not the black plastic ones, but the tubes that are metal and go through the firewall into the cowl? If so. How are they secured?I have removed the sealant stuff the factory used but can't get them to move at all...

Has anyone used the opgi bushing kit?I'm having a hard time remembering slash getting the bushings in the correct order for the rad support. . Can some one please post a pic of how they go before the support goes on? does the big washer sit metal to metal on the frame? And my service manual is missing that page, thats why i'm asking. Thanks in advance.

It's a Custom, so I'm going restomod, leaning towards more restored though...will post more pics as I get more done....

After too many years,I have decided to start working on the car again..been real busy on it.Long way to go but very much further ahead now than I was about a week ago!

Thats awesome! It's great to see Montes out there hauling [censored] too , other than novas, chevelles camaros etc..

Looks Great!!! Cant wait to see it in person!

What did you end up doing to the blower motor resistor?

Thanks Jared. I might take you up on that. I may have located a set from some local members. I will let you know if I need any. Thanks again. Kris
