Michael Boyte Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 They are out there ! However, you will most likely be rather shocked at the price that they will command. NOT CHEAP !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragCat Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 For my own education, can someone post a pic of said tube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price in the picture as shown is a few years old. At the time, that particular vendor had exactly ONE in stock and referenced just how rare they are as many people tossed them in the garbage when they put headers on. They’ve gone up (of course) from what I’ve seen a few months ago on eBay (also found exactly ONE used one listed). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info Glen, my 70 didn't have it, it had the "paper" tube like my blue oval car. I got curious when I googled it and the valve showed up. https://www.ss396.com/monte-carlo/EHS-128.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj7_1teeH-wIVEWyGCh3CdQgKEAQYASABEgIOBvD_BwE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsorg Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 hi, curious why do they show two different stoves and tubes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 If you look at the picture close , the one on the right is Monte only. Good thing it’s not the expensive ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy's Auto Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Those prices helped my decision to put headers on my 71. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 It’s the one for the chevelle that’s nuts in price. The Monte one shouldn’t be bad but still hard to find. People heard a rattle under the hood, pulled over and yanked the shield off and tossed it. Dang them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one pictured on the granite counter is the one I have which I grabbed from Bob when I bought the ‘71. Wanted to get it while available for when the ‘70 goes back to stock someday. Im gonna have to dig it out of the rafters to be certain, but something tells me that what I have is for a Chevelle. Gonna have to compare it to what’s on the ‘71. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
