    I've had three of those Monte's over the years. The first was a 73' that was straight with very little rust, nice int and had the 350/350. I bought it on the southwest side of Indy about 37yrs ago. The guy said it was overheating and thought it was a head gasket so I got it cheap. It ended up being a stuck thermostat. I drove it for a while then sold it to a buddy's girlfriend. Thanks for the flashback!

    Instead of using a screwdriver to turn the oil pump shaft you can take the cam gear off of the old distributor and it will drop right in and you can point the rotor where you want it every time.

    Just for reference what is the front wheel setup as well? Did you choose those so the fitment would work with turning?

    • @streetratgarage
      @streetratgarage  3 місяці тому +1

      The rims are 15 x 8. I cannot remember what size the tires are. I did not choose them for any specific reason. Just because of the way they look on the car.

      No, I bought mine from a small used car lot near where I used to live in Indianapolis. I bought it in 1987. I’m not even sure there was a Copart at that time! Lol.

    Have you had any fender scraping issued on your Rear tires? I Just got my wheels and installed them. Have you done anything with the rear suspension?

    • @streetratgarage
      @streetratgarage  3 місяці тому

      No, the tires fit nicely. I did have these on my 69 Chevelle and they were rubbing the inner lip but only when I had it on the trailer and the suspension strapped down. Otherwise they fit the Monte Carlo just fine.
