  1. non boxed will work fine,e-mail me bgl0b6@yahoo.com
  2. thank you Sam,I thought so.If any one has a cheap set Iam interested
  3. Are the upper and lower control arms the same from a Chevelle to a Monte Carlo or are they different?I am going to pull a 12 bolt out of a 72 Monte,and replace with a 10 bolt to sell the car as a roller.I have the rear end to replace it with but need the arms to stay with the 12 bolt and am going to try to find a cheap set for the 10 bolt to replace it in the roller.A friend says he may have a set from a 71-72 Chevelle.Also does any one here have a cheap set they want to get rid of.Dont have to be nice,just solid enough to hold it in Thanks Mike
  4. Thanks Pat(First Knight) the emblem was in beautiful shape,good deal
  5. Thanks Pat,was a pleasure to talk to you also.You remind me of my friend John from Talladega,always friendly,southern hospitality at its finest.Something that is rare here in the north.Thanks again Pat
  6. I have a 402 engine,4 core radiator,2'' id at the water pump,1 3/4 at the radiator does any one know the gates hose # for that set up.I ordered one from the local parts store,not even close...Thanks,Mike
  7. I was getting a bit worried as I had tried several others I had here and was running into similar results.I thought I was going to have to get away from the long shaft 400.Its fresh rebuilt and I also spent $200. to get the drive shaft made for it.Any way its going to work out o.k.
  8. I had to bend the bell crank rod about 1/4'' and it works great...Mike
  9. I figured it out last night,I think.When I bought the car it had a metric 200 and a 305 from a 79 Monte in it,I pulled it and installed a 402 with the 400 turbo.I think for what ever reason they slightly bent the bell crank assembly a touch.I got one off of a friends '72 Chevelle and laid them side to side,I had to bend mine inward about 1/4 inch,shifts great now....Mike
  10. I will try to change the bracket tonight,but this is a mechanical linkage,no cables...Thanks,will try that
  11. We have tried to adjust the rod on the column and can't seem to get anywhere with it,thats what is baffling me,it just don't seem to do anything....
  12. I have asked this question in another part of the forums,hoping some one has the answer.Here is my problem.The car was a 350 turbo,changed to a 400 long shaft from an Impala.both cars were column shift.I drove the Impala before the change and all worked well.If I shift the trans manually from below it shifts into each gear,when I install the linkage and bell crank,it clicks from park to reverse solidly,but to neutral it just fall loosely,then into drive it clicks,2nd solidly and that is as far as it will shift,cannot pull it into low,it just wont go any farther.Is there a difference it the shift rod between a 350 and a 400?I have a parts car that was a 350 trans also,tried the whole set up from that car with the same results,I'm baffled Thanks....Mike I have tried to adjust it from both park position and from low position and get the same results.
  13. Is it possible that the linkage rod from the column to the bell crank is different from a turbo 350 to a 400?
  14. I measured the C-shaped linkage bracket on the trans last night and it is the same,also tried adjusting it in all gears with the same results.I know the trans shifted fine before as I drove the Impala home when I bought the car for the engine and trans.I'm kind of baffled here,just cant figure out whats going on for sure....
