Dtret Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I picked up a couple of these. Brand new. Need to add a couple of fittings to make the applicable to the Montes but dang near perfect in every other way. All brackets fit perfectly. I didn’t really need them but I wanted to see if they would work. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant MacPherson Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 If you install it Dennis, let us know how it works. I bought on a few years back but haven't needed it yet. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 I know the original one on my 71 works properly but it’s 50+ years old. I’m not sure if the original for the 70 will work. That’s why I got them. I may put the load level option on my 72 but I doubt it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a picture of then Alex Weise displaying his "imaginary" Monte at the 2006 Eastern Meet in Bristol, TN. In reality he had a Monte but it was not at the meet. Sounds familiar, huh!! rob 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on guys before we get to the imaginary cars, these pics are from Mr Dennis but as we see there are no sneakers so how can we be so sure he is even doing this. This might be someone else or even imaginary person????? 4 hours ago, Dtret said: That car will probably never see an fgmcc meet. I’m only one person, with a half ton truck. And one car trailer. lol.

mcsteve Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Are the load leveling valves considered right or left handed. I see on the Dayton Air website they offer both - I have the original but not sure if it works or which side handed it is? Gathering parts n pieces to start restoring now that i have retired! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 On their site they list both. Obviously they are used for different applications nowadays. It all depends on how they are mounted. Look at my first picture and match that. If you want specific let me know and I’ll dig up the paperwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searsman Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Sounds like a good idea to have to leveling system work, but, mine still has the original on it , which doesn’t work, and I’m hesitant about swapping it out.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
