1970mcss

I had the exact same thing happen last weekend. When I jumped the car it started right up. The prior owner had put on a fuse in place of the fusible linkIand the wire connection ant the cable was a bit flakey. I replaced the positive cable, fusible link and have ordered a new negative cable. I hope that fixes my problem. One question I have is what should the amp guage read when running?

Replaced the rear coil springs tonight with a pair of moog 5379. It went much easier than I thought it would. The stance is so much better..

opps, 1 3/32" OD, good catch

The Chevrolet parts catalog shows the pilot bearing PN# 3752487, 19/32 ID x 19/32 OD x 3/4"

My 1970 SS came with a green wheel and green column....

Looks great, the motor looks like a piece of jewelry!!

My car has the carpet on top.

Thanks Bob, I will give that a try

That makes sense Bob, i put a bike pump on the lime and just pumped it a few times, low pressure. So if I put a vacuum pump on the line, should it hold steady pressure.

Another air ride compressor question, does the vacuum line from the engine push air to the compressor or suck air from the compressor? It sounds like a dumb question but I pumped air pressure to the manual valve and the rear valve and shocks seem to work fine. I the tried to pump air into the compressor and it seems to come out the vent or overflow. I'm not sure how to make sure the compressor isn't leaking. Any help would be great. Thanks

Great to hear. Happy to help.

Carl, the Cable for a 3 speed with heavy duty or 4 speed is PN# 6478178, 72" long. The cable for a 3 speed (exe HD) is the same PN# 6478175, 60" long. These are the listings in the parts catalog for a Chevelle. I don't think a 3 speed was put in a Monte. I hope that helps

Did you find the code on the block?? I would think someone with a 70 SS would want a correctly stamped engine.

The parts catalog that I have shows 6478175 as the GM part number and 60" long. Without Cruise control.

The straps are attached to the trim panel. Take the trim panel off and there are 2 more screws

Sam, I reset the mixture screws and reset the idle, runs great. The prior owner must of done the 1 1/2 turns. I will still be checking the timing, thanks

The CRN stamping is on the right side front of the block. You should be able to see it with out removing anything. Good Luck

If the wrong PCV valve is used, can it cause the car to idle improperly? The car came with the wrong valve in it (CV682C). I ordered a CV736C which should be the correct valve. When my car comes off of high idle after I start it, the car seems to want to die at stops. If I drop it into neutral it runs fine. Any ideas????

I'm not sure what the clips look like but I just ordered a few different clips and retainers from this company: AMK Products Inc.. Look at the bulk items link. Good luck http://www.amkproducts.com/

I used a Krylon Silver leafing pen. It comes with a felt applicator. Worked great http://www.krylon.com/products/leafing-pens/

My car is Dark green but I know they have other colors

I got SEM paint from the National Parts Depot, I haven't used it yet to see if matched...

Very nice, I know who to call if I screw mine up. Good luck with the restore

Steve just plated my tank and said he had 5 more to do. They turned out great. What are you doing with 5 tanks?

Thanks Dan I'll check out Rockauto.
