  1. Welcome !! Great looking Monte
  2. If the transmission was not giving you any signs like slipping or any other weird things I would start at the linkage hopefully the clip fell off or something simple like that. I would also find a new mechanic one that doesn't use the terms "it does not click". Good luck.
  3. The plastic sleeve is supposed to be on the throttle side of the cable,my guess is that it is just sliding back and forth freely and probably hanging the cable up under full throttle causing your problems.
  4. The headers on the "Covid" Monte are Hooker headers.
  5. The cars I have outside I do start periodically over the winter if we get warmer days ,the higher hp cars we have I will crank the engine without starting them just to keep everything oiled and valvetrain moving.
  6. Wow !!! Congratulations !!!
  7. Welcome !!! Best of luck with your new Monte
  8. Your car is correct 70 SS had color matched column and wheel to interior color,71 were all black no matter what interior color.
  9. I was at Carlisle last year with no car and had a great time. It did rain and had to wipe down my Brother's car 100+times but was well worth putting faces to the names on the site, great group of people.
  10. Happy and a healthy New Year to everyone
  11. FW is the correct code for 71. The car should have came with the same wheel for a spare 15x7 rally. If I remember correctly The XY code were used in 1970 if your SS was ordered with hub caps they were a standard black rim. The only wheel in 71 for an SS was the rally wheel.
  12. Good luck and please keep us updated on your progress
  13. Welcome !! Great job on your Monte,she looks great
  14. So sorry for your loss. Your family will be in our prayers 🙏.
  15. Have the same problem on my truck . I'm just afraid of opening up that can of worms to fix it. Once it gets hot the exhaust leak goes away.
  16. That is the same top and molding that was on our Covid Monte when we got it. It was a dealer installed top by an outside company .
  17. More "In stock"stuff !!! Maybe we can get a group rate on some therapy 😁
  18. I actually tried to find an answer to your question and ended up going down a rabbit hole so try and stay with my nutty answer. So in the Julian calendar the number 549 actually stands for a common year. A common year is a year that starts on a Friday. Now to make a long story short it turns out that 1971 was a common year and the first of the current era. So maybe the person who stamped your trans was as nutty as me or......they just used the wrong stamp. Now I need a nap I used up all my brain cells.
