  1. I love the bolstered look of those Legendary Interior covers. They used to keep my fat butt from sliding around after my wife cleans the interior but now no fat butt but still a very comfortable ride
  2. That is about what color I painted mine in 2013 when we had our 72 redone
  3. I really do not know but When I put new plugs in last fall No. 7 was fouled some. I did learn a new trick or technique today use tidy bowl or some other toilet bowl cleaner instead of the expensive stuff. Learned that form a long time mechanic friend today at the car show where we got another top 30. That is three weeks in a row for Ole Red
  4. Car ran good for a week or so then wham all messed up again. Wrapped the wiring with the tape Gary recommended and it still was not right. The next step was to remove the O2 sensor, it was carboned /oily residued up, cleaned it up and reinstalled it and presto hot diggity dog it runs like it is new again. Hard to believe that one little thingamabob could cause so many different scenarios that kept Ole Red from running. Now I know what to look at first if it acts up again. Also going to get a spare to have with me if it acts up while traveling.
  5. Boy what a difference. pain is the rear to readjust and I measured before removal LOL
  6. Someone had posted a spring that they put inside of their hood stud spring. I wrote the number but now am unable to find it so if anyone has it handy please post as I am going to Menards and would like to get that while I am there
  7. This was an accident but could not keep myself from posting dang fingers disobeyed me again 😇
  8. Great show only two Monte’s of any kind. A black 70, the owner is on the Facebook page and told him he needs to get on this site and become a member. I need to put my stalking papers back in my trunk again. We removed everything from the trunk late year and have only been to 2 or 3 shows since and with the car not running well along with wet weekends I think we have it straightened out. I need to work on m photo posting to get them in the desired configuration, every time I try to turn the iPad they keep turning sideways again
  9. Yeppers missing it big time. Hope I get the Ole Red straightened out this weekend. Went to a show last weekend and it acted up some but made it home OK just od not want any more on the road breakdowns
  10. GM HEI with a MSD Multi Spark Discharge system that I sent in last fall and had rebuilt. Thought about going to the distributor that inter acts with the Sniper but $770 is a little out of my price range at the present time
  11. Thank you Grant I just ordered two rolls
  12. Still sorting things out. Every time I think I have it working correctly it messes up again. Talked to Holley support and he gave me a list of things to check which I am now heading out to the garage to start looking at. The idle is spot on when I first start the car then it will jump up 700 rpm. Going down the road the engine will stutter and the IAC jumps up to 36 when normal is 2 to 10. Checking the IAC control for carbon buildup, inside of Dist cap for carbon deposits and the voltage is staying in the 14 volt neighborhood
  13. Parts Place is in Des Plains IL and has a plethora of parts for our cars. Usually in stock and cheaper than OPGI with cheaper shipping. Their phone contact information is in our vendors list
  14. Only first Monte Carlo of any sort in attendance out of 115 entrants. The second two photos were inspired by Tony D,s reflection of my car on his green car at an Eastern Meet several years ago. This show is to raise money to help keep the old high school gym in operation that was used in the movie Hoosiers.
  15. I had to read that a second time I thought I seen stripper club LOL
  16. Gary welcome. Is that a cloth interior? I ordered a 70 Monte 2 days after they were released in 1969 but it was a SB 400, Forest Green and a Dark green cloth bench seat interior.
  17. I love the roller cam and roller rockers in my 20 over 350. Just a mild upgrade but increased fuel economy and a quieter running power plant
  18. I put an anti sway bar on the rear my 72 three or four years ago and what a difference it made. A friend just upgraded his front anti sway bar and gave me his old 1 1/2" that I have not been able to drive it much because of the weather but it did fell better than the original one.
  19. Looks similar to the one I ordered on Sept 20, 1969. Forest Green with a green cloth interior, small Block 400 with a turbo 350 behind it. What color interior is in yours David?
  20. "I was in northern Indiana today and a trailer shop wanted 225 for the same thing." Dennis I wished I had know you were in the area we could of had lunch or something of that nature and I could have given you the jacket '
  21. Styling plus a 1970 was my second new car ordered September 20th 1969
  22. I bought a waffle weave towel form Autozone/Oreilys/Advance and it works great after the water blade has been used
