Found this page on FaceBook today (Lost Muscle Cars) and thought I would pass it on. I will be adding (I hope) my wife's first car a Red 1973 Mercury Cougar. It was stolen way back in 1979 from the parking lot where she worked. https://www.facebook.com/lostmusclecars Not related, but...... I had a video chat with a company 10+ years ago, that was working on a new TV show where they would help people find their old car. I couldn't wait to watch this show but it never made it.

I went to an auto parts store and it was difficult to find regular style oil but there were tons of synthetic oil on the shelves. I didn't notice (or look for) the price difference?

Andrew, my 71 350 4BBL also has a trans leak and I think it is from the same spot, left side. I added cruise control to mine about 30 years ago so there are some differences. Hope this helps some.

Cool, I have never seen this alignment machine, thanks!

Next I may ask what weight you use, 10W30 or ????

What Engine Oil do you use in your Monte Carlo, synthetic Oil or Conventional oil?

Aaron, yes it is a funny show, we like it to. So nice I had it recorded so I could pause and get my phone to take a picture.

I have only seen 3 or 4 "Son Of A Critch" TV shows (Show is set in Canada in the 1980's) and today watching one from Christmas, there was a 71 Monte in it. I noticed a different tall hood ornament and wider rally wheels. I think it was a med dark bronze color. The Uncle told his 15 year old nephew he would sell it to him after the kid gave him a $1,000 deposit. SCAM...

Not mine but I found this years ago if it helps.

Nice Monte! Welcome to the club.

This is old (Muscle Car Review 1990) but it may help. (Click link to read) https://1971montecarlo.wordpress.com/2023/08/30/front-end-alignment-information-2/
