stangeba Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 Last ride of the year. Backed it in, covered it up.
black07ss Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 Hey Rodney, I just bought a Chrome alternator through Napa and was in a Blue and White GM parts direct box and was 100 amps for $99 on sale just last month for the monte... Darren. Â Do you have a link for that Darren?

71 MONTE 4 YA Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 Painted my headers today. VHT SP100 flat gray primer, SP117 flat aluminum paint, and SP115 Satin clear. All is supposed to be good within the 1300-2000 degree fahrenhiet temperature. Hope it lasts.
bigtankjones Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 Rodney, You don't need to change the wiring. There is a kit out there that by-passes the external regulator and makes it so you can run the internal reg. Or you can make a jumper your self. I can get pictures of my jumper wire set up for you.
Paul Bell Posted December 3, 2012 Author Posted December 3, 2012 I had a little visit with my car today. I'll post one pic, these rest as links:  http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/pbellsound/photobucket-39179-1354482859860.jpg  http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/pbellsound/photobucket-1483-1354482942170.jpg  http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/pbellsound/photobucket-19006-1354482927312.jpg  http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/pbellsound/photobucket-38682-1354482909269.jpg  http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/pbellsound/photobucket-25273-1354482893727.jpg  http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u316/pbellsound/photobucket-23216-1354482876042.jpg Â
CKZ03 Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Had to scratch my head on that pic for a minute, that's awesome. Wish I would have thought of doing that on my car. Guess I can always change it up later. Looks great Paul!
bigtankjones Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 I worked on my Radiator support a little more today. Next I need to pick up some Wire wheels and clean up the rust. Need to pick up some Metal to Metal filler.
Paul Bell Posted December 3, 2012 Author Posted December 3, 2012 hahaha, I see the bit of confusion I created. The first linked photo answers the question of what the heck is the posted picture.
LostnFound Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 I ordered an assembly manual today. I nailed an NOS parking light lense for $20 on ebay and received it on Friday and I have inner fender shields on order from Dixie which I will install in the spring.
Paul Bell Posted December 3, 2012 Author Posted December 3, 2012 Somebody handed me that -32 swivel thermostat housing. That's why I had the Griffin radiator built with -32 bungs. A bung was also welded to the waterpump. That's real AQP racing hose with an ID of 1.75 inches.
monte70car Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 This is from yesterday afternoon no its not for mine Monte got one more pass of metal to metal to lay down then its on to plastic filler.
monte70car Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Paul I know what the first picture is I have one on mine plus working on number 2
Paul Bell Posted December 3, 2012 Author Posted December 3, 2012 Very nice! So you know it's a bunch of Bondo...
monte70car Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Depends on how its done Paul. My other post up above is cowl induction hood number 2. I got pictures of the underside which is different then your's.
Paul Bell Posted December 3, 2012 Author Posted December 3, 2012 We did it the one time. Had there been another, we'd do it differently. Â If I'd ever go to a track, I'd ditch it for a pin-on glass hood.
ssmonte70 Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Took it for a nice ride -- 64 degrees in northern Illinois on Dec. 2nd, unthinkable but I'll take it. Tomorrow is suppose to be 65 degrees....I'll be leaving at noon from work to take another nice ride!! Â Troy

Darren. Â Do you have a link for that Darren? I was gonna post this one for Rodney the other day...LINKY Hey Bill that almost looks identical to the one I have except the what appears to be a smooth flat chrome plate behind the V pulley is not there on mine it has the chrome fins like on the GM one.... I dont have a link but after hunting the box actually says Performance World GM Chrome alternator 110 amps and offers a 1 or 3 wire install application and has a part number of 37127 Show Quality. I have had it on the convertible for 500 miles now no problems and yes have the Voltage regulator bypass wiring installed but out of site so it cant be seen as its UGLY !! and mine is a 1970 too so i needed the kit... Darren.
Paul Bell Posted December 3, 2012 Author Posted December 3, 2012 Mr. King, I'd be interested in those underside pics you have. Can you post some?
Canuck Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Took my 70 Monte out for a short drive to the hardware store today. Sunny and well above freezing. Dry roads and no salt either... I'm liking this winter so far.
LostnFound Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Roads are salted here....mine won't see the light of day for 6 months.
Canuck Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Roads are salted here....mine won't see the light of day for 6 months. Â It was 11C (52F) degrees and sunny here today Larry.
LostnFound Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Here too Aaron....very nice mild spell but once the salt is down, my Monte stays put.
