Here is what I ended up doing… I installed a new blower with my factory fan. Engine not running it felt a little better. Did a few tests and ended up removing the orange wire from the horn relay to blower relay. Replaced the relay with a new one. Ran a 10 ga with inline fuse from the alternator stud to the fan relay. (I’m running front end accessories from a 1997 Chevy truck) Then a 10 ga from the relay to the fan. I spliced in the wire from the resistor too. I then soldered a 10 ga wire to the blower motor housing and grounded the other end to the frame rail. When the engine is running it made a significant difference in air volume.

Good idea!! Thanks

I read about that on a chevelle site yesterday. Going to try it when I get the car running again. Current installing fuel injection. Maybe later next week. Thanks

Does anyone know of an upgrade for the blower or fan to get more volume from the vents? I had the whole system apart and all seams are sealed and doosr operate as designed. Just looking for some more volume from the vents. thanks

Going back to pocono next Tuesday! Looking to push it a little harder…

Thanks for the update. I’m going to wait until I save up for a terminator x system. I did see that Holley releases a Sniper 2. Supposedly all of the “issues” have been addressed

Yesterday I took it out for a good spirited blast to get the coating on the tops hot so it would cure properly. I had all 4 windows down. Sat at 2 stoplights. Didn’t notice anything but I will keep alert for that happening.

Thanks. No they do not rattle. I kept 1/4 inch between then and the frame and the rocker pinch weld. Also installed a hanger just inside the frame rails and at the rear of the muffler. Engine has solid mounts so the exhaust doesn’t move to much.

So I took the time to fab up some exhaust pipes to exit in front of the wheels. Went from 3 inch pipe flares out to 2x10 rectangle and then to 1 1/2 x 12 . Still have 5 1/2 inch to the ground. My headers are 5 inch from the ground and my rear sway bar is 4 3/4. https://youtube.com/shorts/Jq5a8KgpRFk?feature=share

I track my car, you can see my thread in modifiers-pocono raceway. I have 3 inch exhaust and with all of the suspension mods in the rear there isn’t much wiggle room for the tail pipes. If I have to make suspension adjustments I usually burn myself on the tail pipe. My car is lower than usual also. That is why I asked for muffler type also. I can possibly modify my current muffler to tuck up under the car better. Then I was thinking of a 1 1/2 inch x 6-8 inch rectangular exit at the pinch weld

Does anyone have the exhaust exit in front of rear wheels? Pics? What muffler and how is it with the windows down? Thanks in advance.

Found it. https://www.firstgenmc.com/forums/index.php?/topic/26494-borgeson-steering-gearbox-install/

There is a thread on here that is not too old. Shouldn’t be hard to find. I put a replacement on for a 1988 Monte Carlo SS. I’m pretty sure I needed a new rag joint and adapters to get the lines hooked up.

Mike, you could put what we referred to as a “cold control” switch in the system( this might be what you are referring to). It is basically a probe that goes into the evaporator and when the temperature gets too cold (enough to cause a freeze up condition) it shuts off the compressor clutch. Most times it is just wired to open a relay that is inline with the compressor clutch circuit

I retired 3 years ago lol. It’s good. I keep busy with my rental properties and the cars. Looking to build another garage. you should try some of the track stuff at pocono and we should get a drink or something and actually meet some time

Sorry to hear about the car. Always raced at Numidia. I did see a Monte in town yesterday. There is also a black one around. How is retirement going?

Mike, We talked a while ago. Back in the 90s I worked at Scott Chevy. You have Curt's car if i am not mistaken. I live right near Strange Brew on the south side. Did you happen to be in Emmaus yesterday with a Maroon Monte?

I’m still figuring out shock settings and tire pressures. Also some transmission programming. The only problem I had was the coolant temp got up to 225 or so at times. I’m going to try some kind of scoop under the bumper to force air up in front of the radiator

I’ll post the rest soon. I’m waiting for them to upload

Some of the officials told me that…
