Welcome!! Great story ,thanks for sharing it with us

[Craziest interior I’ve ever seen]

Reminds me of my grandmother's couch just missing the hard plastic .

Crazy weather 60 yesterday woke up to snow today. Spring can't come fast enough

[New member here (but LONG time lurker) with a 1972 Monte Carlo]

Welcome! Great story

[Floor pans]

Yes 

[distributor ID]

The part number I think you need is 1111963. The one you listed above is for a lower hp rating like in big cars. The 9H28 is the date code 1969 August 28 day. The date code should be within 6 months of the build date of your engine not the car build date. Hope this helps

[New to club, long time fan of 1st Gen MC’s]

Welcome !! Nice Monte

[SS car owner? Is there an "F" in your trim tag?]

[My 71 SS restoration project]

Absolutely stunning !!! If I finally make it to Carlisle I can't park near you. It will make me want to "fix a couple of things" and we know how that goes. Great job

[Factory invoice 70&71 Monte SS]

[1971 Monte Carlo dealer invoice]

Still looking for a least one match

[1972 Monte Carlo dealer invoice]

Still hope for at least one match !!!

[Trunk mount battery]

I have something like that in my Pro Street Firebird. I have the positive battery cable from the master discount switch in the back of the car to a bulk head in the firewall(ran cable inside the car) I then used that bulkhead to power up a fuse block under the dash that powers up my fuel pump,MSD,Fans and all needed relays. Don't know if your going to race the car but by the rules the master switch in the back must kill all power to the car.

[Oil pressure gauge]

That's where I have the oil pressure gauge on my 71 SS. 

[What pressure are you running in your tyres?]

I run 32 psi also ,once the tire warms up from driving it will go up a pound or two.

[My 71 SS restoration project]

Awesome that you met your goal. Now let's hope for an early spring so you can enjoy your masterpiece!! Great work 👍

[How to authenticate MC is real 454SS]

Welcome and best of luck with your Monte. Love the color and a 4speed👍

[Tyre size - cooper cobra]

Blue car 235-70-15

Tan car 215-70-15

Both with 15x7 rim

[Will old school 15x8 1/2” American torque thrust wheels fit?]

Here is a cheap way to get measurements.Pvc pipe cut to how wide of a rim you want to use,put the tire where you want it and measure from front of rotor/drum to pvc mark it and that will give you a ballpark for your back only problem is you need a tire

[Will old school 15x8 1/2” American torque thrust wheels fit?]

Sorry but I don't believe the "science" of the offset calculator. I have a 15x15 rim on my Pro street Firebird with 3 1/2 inch back space,and it measures 3 1/2 " . So if I put a 15x8 rim with the same back space your saying the measurements will be different. I understand what the offset table explains but a 3 1/2" back space is a 3 1/2 " . Just my opinion

[Impulse Control Fail... 56 Belair 2dr HT]

Very cool .good luck with it

[Will old school 15x8 1/2” American torque thrust wheels fit?]

We have put rims with 5 1/2 inch backspace and they do fit but I'm not sure if you have another 1/2 of room.
