I remember a "anti blow out" clip, one on each ft window on my 71. They were plastic or rubber coated clip that I removed years ago because the plastic cracked and fell off. After the plastic was gone it rusted and looked bad. I think they were perhaps 4 or 5 inches forward of the rear 1/4 window. I got some replacements but never installed them. Can't believe I found them in my tool box!! See attached pictures. two different styles / sizes.

The 1971 350, I took the gauges from, had two temp sending units, one right head, one (with two wires) on the left head. Since I removed the TCS stuff in 71 I never took the right sender from the donor car. Bruce

I found this list of tire sizes, that may help? if this link works: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19PQfEAyLZuMborOY05J_nh55ZKav2-AgTDcb-w6e584/edit?usp=sharing

My aftermarket right (passenger side) mirror (that matches my left remote) is knocked out of position every time the door is shut, or you hit a bump. I didn't see a MORRIS remote rt remote mirror, thanks! Bruce

Welcome!

Great question! I flushed out and replaced my fluid back in the late 1980's with what I thought was silicone, the container is labeled DOT-5. Haven't needed to do anything since. I know the old stuff doesn't mix with DOT-5

Not sure about yours but I have yellow and orange wires on my 71 NO A/C heater fan switch. What year is your Monte? Options:? A/C Rear window defog fan Speed control

I don't remember how many but my 71 has these clip / lock things, that needs to be removed first.

I replaced my stock ft seat belts with MORRIS 3 point years ago and I love them. I have a bench seat but added the bucket seat buckles to my order in case I ever do replace my bench seat with buckets. Bruce

Great to see First Gen's in a newspaper, thanks! Bruce

Welcome to the club! Great pictures and a great looking Monte! Bruce

That is one awesome car!!!!!!!!! I would like a list of your parts please! 😁 I have a few things, like when I thought I should add A/C to my non A/C 71, what a joke, no way I will ever do that but I still have stuff in the basement for over 30 years. Bruce

Packard? I live several miles from the old Packard Proving Grounds in Shelby Township, Michigan. Here is a picture of my 71 at the managers home taken several years ago.

Something to think about. My 1971 Monte Carlo is now 49 years old. So, looking back at a 49 year old Chevrolet today, it would have been built in 1971. In 1971, If I would have looked back to view a 49 year old Chevrolet, it would be from 1922.

Went for a nice drive and put on 52 miles. It's now getting too hot (see the sun!!) so I'm home, writing about it. Here is a picture, I love pictures...
