NewTimer Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Finished wiring my Ron Francis Electric fan controller and took my gauge cluster out of the dash to get ready to start the Dakota digital install.
footballubet Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Finished wiring my Ron Francis Electric fan controller and took my gauge cluster out of the dash to get ready to start the Dakota digital install. That is the same controller I have. It has a better adjustable feature than others I've seen.
MCfan Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Installed a Hellwig 5800 Rear Anti-sway bar on my 4-speed today. It was a simple bolt-on as I had already replaced the stock lower control arms with a nice pair of boxed arms I picked up from Terry Reynolds (70 Iron) last year. It's a bit heftier than the stock F41 bar, is powder-coated in a hammered silver finish and hugs the profile of the rear end better than the stock bar, as well. These Hellwig 5800 bars are on clearance on eBay right now - seems everyone (except me) is moving to the frame mounted bars.
Patrick Sheean Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Hey Sam what a great photo, beautiful blue Monte! Nice work on the sway bar Dennis, probably feels like its riding on rails, very nice.

That is the same controller I have. It has a better adjustable feature than others I've seen. I agree, what makes it even better it has a test button! Makes it so much easier then turning car on to temp to see if it will come on or not. Love the LED to show you it's still alive and working
monte70car Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 A few pumps of the gas peddle and a few cranks the old Monte came to life and sit outside for a few minutes, then it was back into the garage. The rear end for the other Monte got painted and so trim work was done to the name plate on it. Got a set of driving lights wired up on the trailer for back-up lights at night.
Mike 57 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Put the engine in. Link to pictures in the modifiers section
cny first gen 71 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Took mine out for a ride but it was a quick one I knew I needed to change the plugs but I forgot how bad they were. and it seems like power steering fluid leaked out over the winter, hopefully nothing serious. But it felt good to take it out.
Rob Peters Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Put the engine in. Link to pictures in the modifiers section Mike, that is AWSOME. Rob
SS Haze Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Started after 2 cranks. I wish it didn't. It still has the battery my Uncle's family put in it back in 2006 before I got it. It's an "Energizer" (yeah, the Bunny brand for flashlights!) and I want to replace it but it won't quit! Didn't even have a trickle on it over this past brutally cold winter. Guess I'll replace it anyway. Fuel line to the Holley Street Avenger secondaries was leaking. Backed it out and tightened it 3 times and got it reseated. Power steering has a leak so that's on the list. Other than the leak, it ran great. Mike
vince Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 DANG!!!! Mike that thing is a beast. Changed the starter, no more drag
monte0 Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Got my new frame painted and ready. Old frame out of car, that was not fun.
Malyc Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Drove it in to work and back, aired up, rotated and balanced the tires, and finally figured out why the fuel guage wasn't working.
Shnalla Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Bought Performer RPM intake, new Holley Carb, New air filter. Next month, aluminium heads, camshaft and headers... Oh yeah !
Vinniepooh Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Dusted it off and took out for a breath of fresh air.
bigscaht Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 installed my side marker lights..... Now i have a few wireing issues to fix!!!
tom71 Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Finally finished the heater core replacement. What a fun job!!!!!!! I tried for days to get the replacement aluminum core in but it never lined up. Finally bought the exact bronze core and went in nicely. lesson learned...........buy the right stuff.
NewTimer Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Installed new temp, oil pressure, and speedo sensor for my dakota digital dash. Will route wires tomorrow; kind of killing time until my new dash carrier gets here. Also received my Aeroequip AC hoses and EZ-Clip fittings. They even came with candy odd but different
SxFxZ Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 I told myself I wasn't taking the body off the frame...
LostnFound Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Todd, in the long run you'll be glad that you did. Looking good!
