I was looking at some old pictures saved to "GOOGLE PHOTOS" on my PC, and thought I would try to share them with you using a simple :hot link" If it works. Enjoy! https://photos.app.goo.gl/x3vwYMSGkfqkvoML8

The picture reminds me of years ago when the diaphragm (left side Rochester Products) was shot and leaking vacuum. I purchased a complete new canister assembly and it fit and worked great. I still have the original one someplace. A few years later I checked and couldn't find one to purchase anymore. Try this link I just added 4:59 PM Sunday 26 Mar 2023 https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNw7j1PsseRuy0UjSaVYq5wjOmD0gm88OjqH67HeEKdGh2b7U9Xo56EI1WtDeS8MA?key=ZFEyem9TeDVia2dTeE9Db0NjTlZaOHR0SDlpazF3

I found one, bottom, don't remember where, but it is too short compared to the top broken one. One of the members sold some years ago, and that is the top broken one. I did drill a small hole and used a small nail to hold it together. Worked for awhile.

I ship items for my Brother in-law's home business. I always take the customer supplied ship to address and run it through the U.S.P.S. ZIP Code Lookup web site. It is quick, free and prevents issues like this. Many times it is a TYPO on the customers side or they assume we ship all via UPS. This will also give you a +4 for the ZIP Code. There is one for Canada also that is great. https://tools.usps.com/zip-code-lookup.htm?byaddress

Charged up the battery but still too wet and cold here to drive it. Soon, I hope!

From my 71 350 4BBL. One day I replaced the original rubber hoses and almost threw out this tiny blue restrictor stuffed inside of one of the hoses. The picture shows a small arrow inside of the top right hose, that's where the restrictor went.

Welcome to the club! We love pictures.

Nice!!!

Brad, I pulled a 73 Artic Cat snowmobile a dozen times or so and a 1963 TR-3B to get painted one time. I was always scared to pull anything with it.

Looks great! Body off frame, wish I had done that.

After I sprayed some WD-40 on my squeaky hinges, the hood did not stay up like it should. My neighbor had a fix, he took a smaller spring, perhaps 3/4" that would fit inside of the hinge spring, added two S hooks one to the bottom inside, then the smaller spring, then the second S hook, pulled with a vice grip to attach the hook to the top inside. I don't have sizes for this smaller spring, but it worked! I do have a copper pipe to hold the hood open I still add for safety. I bet this was over 15 years ago! Good luck!

Nice! My wife had a Red 73 Cougar 351 Cleveland 2BBL, nice car but it was stolen, never to be found.

Brian, I believe he mostly does British vehicles and is located in the Southern part of Michigan a bit North of Toledo, Ohio.

OK, I have already taken too much of your time but if I didn't mention these two vehicles, I would be sad. The Anglia was raced by my Brother in-law and two of his friends till about 1973 I think. It was sold and the second owner still has it! Top picture was at COBO Hall in Detroit for the big car show, AUTO RAMA. (That same car show is going on TODAY!) The TR-3B is still in the family since 1967 and just underwent a full body off resto about a year ago. I did a low buck resto in 1973 on it also.

The 25" Chrysler engine, from a dump truck, has twin carbs and a T-5 five speed trans. My brother still has the original 25" long engine in his garage. I forgot how many cubic inches this one is, 250?

Same show downtown Utica.

Yes we have. This was taken 2 blocks North of where Grandpa lived and behind it is my Monte, sisters Firebird w OHC 6, then her husbands 39 Chevy and our nephews 57 Chevy, all going to the Utica, Michigan car show in 2009. Good times! No guns were ever at or with our Grandfather.

Today 86 years ago, my Grandfather, Gottfried Stange, purchased a 1937 Dodge Pick-Up. He paid $479.75 from Hodges Dodges Ferndale Michigan and may have included a trade in of a Model T. One of my older brothers purchased it from Grandpa, in 1964 and still owns it! Here is a picture in of it in 2010, shortly after he restored it. This is part of the reason I still have my 71 Monte Carlo.

Very nice!!! I still have the 71 Camaro and the 71 Monte I built back in 71. I painted both black. It's got less than 1 mile on it and never was outside in the rain or snow but it looks rough!

Alan, good luck, glad you found the problem. I think I will go for a ride now, it is 1973, isn't it?

I read somewhere years ago that you should NOT tighten the A Arm nuts (or bolts) fully till you have the weight back in place and the tires on and body / frame lowered to the ground. Then you can fully torque the nuts. Anyone else know if this it true? I could picture tightening up everything then it wouldn't want to rotate.

Welcome! Great looking Monte.

Great looking Monte Joe! I like the color and 71 is my favorite year.

All the talk on the Air Cleaner page got me thinking back in 1983 when I replaced many of my decals on my 71 350 4BBL engine. I was looking around my closet and I found a large envelope from Jim Osborn Reproductions in Atlanta, Ga. from 1983 with these stickers inside. Then I remembered they didn't have the sticker that is on the Rad top support with timing info and such and they asked me what shape mine was in. I think I scanned it at work and sent it to them where they duplicated it and sent me several of them for free. Here is a scan of them and I have one for the trunk also. I didn't use the tire pressure one because it was wrong for my G70x15 tires.
