Is there anyway to tell if my center caps and trim rings are original from GM?

I don't dislike the rally's, I actually like them a lot! I just like the blacked out look better. As far as selling them goes, I am working with a member right now. I will post them here if anything falls through. -Mark

Thanks for all the positive comments guys!

Got my new cragar D-windows installed along with new Indy 500 Firehawk tires. 235/60/15 fronts 255/70/15 rears for those who are interested. Any and all positive/negative opinions are welcome. I know it sits high, but I like it :-D

I drive by this "donk" everyday on my way home. Today there were no cars parked behind it so I decided to snap a quick pic to show the different stances. I like the candy orange paint, not the beige part though.

how much you think it would run? How would it mount?

WOW on the LEDs and the spoiler! Where's the spoiler from? -Mark

Thanks Rich. that sounds cool, maybe i can find one on ebay or summit. If someone find a link please let me know! Mike, thanks for thinkin outside of the box for me! -Mark

Got in my car when it was dark, arrived at work when it was light. Didn't notice I left my lights on... and the rest is history. So anyone installed a buzzer? How? -Mark

had my Monte at The Dyno Shop down in Santee to get some maintenance stuff taken care of. The guy at the front desk said one of the techs mentioned, "that Monte's rear bumper sits higher then your tundra." I replied, " yup, that's the way I like it." Front desk guy thought I was offended cus he replied, "no, he LIKED the stance"

i did not know that, thank you.

belt dressing was already done, thanks rod. I will check the level, thanks rob.

will do, easy enough

please let me know if it fits! I have a set (that model #) that I ordered from summit when I first got the Monte. It was before I knew that even though most places say it fits the Monte, it may not b/c of the chassis. -Mark

So my power steering has always made a slight whine /hum at full lock. All my cars do and its normal. I just replaced my power steering belt, and now it makes a loud screech at full lock. Any ideas? -Mark

Can anyone tell me the order the belts go on the camshaft pulley? I know the alternator is closest to the front of the car. Does it then go p/s a/c or a/c p/s? Thanks! -Mark

so the gear is attached to the nose housing and shimming the housing will move it away

how would it shim it forward? it would need new mounting points, no?

Thanks, I just wanted to make sure I didn't have to reroute it BACK to the starter since im using the old style with 3 connection points. Originally Posted By: Mike 57 My starter came with shims to move the starter away from the ring gear. They went between the starter and the mounting block. Mine did as well. But no amount of shims would have helped. If I put enough shims to make it not squeal while driving the starter would be too far to engage. Look at the pics, its a BIG difference. And yes, Dennis, you are exactly right! -Mark

PROGRESS!!!! I'm sure as soon as you see this pic you can tell the problem: So as you can see in the retracted position the starter gear is WAY closer to the flywheel then the stock starter. So I threw the stocker back on and she starts perfectly. My question now is I already rerouted the HEI lead to the IGN on the fuse box. Is that OK to leave? -Mark I guess that's what I get for trying to fix something that wasn't broken. Just trying to modernize the car and replace old parts. I wont make that mistake again.... (lets be honest i probably will)

how would i shim just one side? The shims have two holes in them...

it must be correct, b/c my oldstarter was staggered. maybe when i installed it wrong i tore up my flywheel... argg

Looks like im off to get a flywheel tool! Wallaby, how would i shim just one side? The shims have two holes in them... Also how many teeth should the startee have? My new one has 11to teeth but i cant count my old ine because of the shield

even if i got the wrong one and i have to buy a new one ive already wired it for 2terminals and my HEI going to ign terminal with a kill switch. so id need a new style one

Yes, thanks! All it took was the 1 wire!
