When the distributor is all the way down and pointing at #1 the timing tab should be real close to being 0. I just go from there.

I have a set of rear panels, and kick panels, wind lace and sun visors. One visor the stitching is coming undone.

"I’ve not dealt with drum brakes since I was in highschool 26 yrs ago" Just like riding a bike? lol New backing plates require pulling the axles,so that was fun. I do recommend getting a brake spring install / removal tool. I use to be able to "muscle" the springs on with a couple screw drivers and a pair of vice grips. But with age and Parkinson's I have found that to be impossible. I found the brake spring tool made it easier to deal with the springs.

I just finished replacing the rear drum brakes. All new spring kits, brake cylinders, backing plates, drums and shoes. I figure around $475 for parts. Took a long time to get it done. The guy who did the work (me) is really slow! lol!

Maybe something going on with the Harmonic balancer?

Thank you!

I would like to order a black baseball cap.

Nice looking monte. If it is or should I say was a true SS I hope they kept the original parts. I have a 71 SS clone. If that is the going price for a 71 clone. mine is for sale! Facebook(20).mp4

Shoulder seat belt retainers, they came off a 1972 Monte Carlo. Retainers with screws. (4) $30.00 shipped.

Just wondering if the top of the panel is "pushed" down correctly into the top of the door.

I use a silicone Squeegee to remove excess or standing water. Then a gentle towel dry. Never had any issues, no water spots and speeds up drying tome.

I have one. Has a little surface rust. Other than that in good shape.

Weak coil?

Is this a stock engine? If it is 13:" is pretty low. My first check, as others have said, check vacuum lines. I take a can of carb cleaner and spray a small amount on Vacuum lines, base of carb and vacuum fittings. If that all checks out, check plug wires. Are you running a HEI distributor or the stock cap rotor and points? If you are running points you may need to check the dwell.

Could you post some pics of the the car as it is now? Thank you
