You know... that bedliner stuff would be closer to the hardness of the original material. On the downside most I have seen the bedliner stuff fade pretty quickly.

I would echo that it is not as hard as the original material but seemed to work fine. I've been thinking about using it for the hood release on my monte as well.

That's what I used on my Camaro a few years back. It worked pretty well. The product I used was Plasti-dip. Dale

Not sure if mine sits quite that low. I'll have to check. What springs did you go with? Trying to post a pic, not sure how?

Do you have pictures of before and after the spring change? Mine sits a little low as well. I put new air shocks on it but still a little low. Thanks, Dale

I checked them out. They have a lot of stuff! I couldn't find any hose that I need on their web site but will give them a call. Thanks, Dale

Are you talking about Inline Tube company?

Yeah my system seems intact. For some reason the hoses off the tank were replaced but the ones under the hood appear original. I haven't taken the lines loose yet to check for the orifice. Thanks for the info. Dale

Bruce, I checked my hoses at the tank and they have all been replaced with standard fuel line hose and worm gear clamps. Did you find any clamps on your hoses when you removed them? I checked my assembly manual and it doesn't show any clamps at those locations. Also did you have any other markings on any of the hoses? Thanks, Dale

I've not had luck finding the hoses at any Chevelle/MC supplier. The closest I've found is from the Corvette side but they all seem to be smaller hose for air conditioning/heater systems. Still looking.

I wonder about buying a generic hose and then painting them with the correct color stripe? Thoughts?

Interesting! I'll have to check it out. Were you able to find the yellow stripe hose? Dale

I may have too. Kinda want to go the restoration route though if I can. Thanks, Dale

I am needing to replace the emissions hoses on my 71 SS454. I have 3 hoses coming out the top of the emissions canister. 2 of the 3 appear to be original and are in poor condition. The largest one appears to be 5/15" and has EVAP printed on it at 3" spacing. The other 2 appear to be 3/16" without any markings but one of them appears to have a single wide rib on it. Can anyone tell me what is correct? I am trying to find the correct hoses so if you have any info on where to get them I would appreciate that as well. Thanks, Dale

Yeah big block is special, even more special is the Monte is different than other big block cars.

Sounds good. Thanks, Dale

I need the heat stove and tube to the air cleaner for a 1971 SS 454. Heat stove #3976061, tube #3969823, strap #3976063, and clamp #452216 Thanks, Dale

I am looking for the heat riser tube, I need everything from the manifold up to the air cleaner. Anyone know where I could get this stuff? Thanks, Dale

Yours looks really nice. Looks like you are about 1" below the bumper? looks like they are tucked in pretty good. Mine were about 1/2" below the bumper and stuck out about 3". They didn't look quite right to me so I'm trying to make it back to original specs. Thanks, Dale

I am installing a new exhaust on my 71 SS. In looking at the Chassis Service Manual it looks like the chrome tips should be 1.25" down from the bumper and should extend 1.04" past the bottom front lip of the bumper. Does that sound right?? Thanks, Dale

Thanks for all the input. Are you pleased with the improved driving characteristics?? Dale

Has anyone installed poly bushings in their front and rear suspensions? How do you like it? I would like to try it but thought I would see if anyone had done it and get their results. Thanks, Dale

Thanks Guys The one I found says non-SS but I thought they were all the same. Thanks, Dale

Are the ash trays the same between the SS and non SS cars? I need a new one and have found an NOS one. Thaanks, Dale

6 months is the number used by the corvette guys. So as long as your date codes are before the build date of your car and within 6 months of each other you have a matched set. Dale
