Need to replace the alternator. In doing so, some of the wiring got all chewed up for whatever reason. Question is: Where does the alternator pigtail connect to? I know obviously it clips to the back of the alternator, but where do the other two ends go? Just for the record, I feel very dumb...

So every time it rains very hard or more recently, when a lot of snow melts, I get huge puddles on the floor panels of the front seat. This past few days have been especially bad in terms of rain and snow melt, and today was some of the most water I have seen. I have checked the seals/glue...

So in light of cleaning things up a bit in the engine bay and giving tired worn out parts etc new life, I would like to upgrade some wiring. In particular I want to upgrade the battery cables.

Was looking at these seats from Cipher. Anyone use this brand? Looking for positive or negative before I buy; they will go in the monte.

Since the process is very slow going and I do what I can when I have the time/money/etc/blah blah blah; unfortunately a few things have gotten lost in the shuffle. It also does not help that since I started this project I have had to move twice. :mad::itchy::X3::X3: My question is about a few...

Was reading a post earlier but didnt want to derail OP and take over the thread so I figured I would start a new one. A couple pertinent facts: - 85 Monte carlo ss - completely redid the following: shocks/struts, lowering springs, wheels/tires, drop spindles from s10, pads, calipers, drum...

So after I found out that there were a couple of leaks in my monte I decided it was time for a new interior. The heater box and 2 rear windows were the main culprits for the leak. I fixed those and the ripped out the carpet. While I took apart the whole interior I thought to myself how good a...

I have a custom built 350. The specs are in my sig, but I have a stock 200r4 and its certainly not doing so hot. I really want to put in a t56 conversion but I am just wondering about my other options. I was also thinking about a very built 4 speed automatic. I would like to take the car to the...

So I just fixed up the floor pans in my 85mc ss and I am wondering what is the best place to get a black carpet? I found the one on opgi for like 145 i think. Does anyone know of a better deal? What about other interior parts? trim? moldings? etc.

So here are a couple of pictures of the floor of my 85 monte. I also have more pictures in my gallery, so please check them out. My question is this. Is my only option to go with cutting out this piece and getting a whole new oem PS floor pan from OPGI? The passenger side is by far worse than...

Does anyone know about these hoses? Or has anyone used or had them? What is everyone doing in terms of hoses; I need a couple new ones and figured I would upgrade. Thanks

I have a stock 200 r4 driving my 85 monte ss. check out my sig for specs. As much as I like the 200r4, I need to beef it up a bit as it is starting to sound tired. Is it better to buy a rebuilt transmission (still a 200r4) or take it to my mechanic and have his transmission guy work on it? What have...

So my key has been sticking and I have ordered a new set of door locks. I was just wondering what is the best way to remove and replace the door locks? Do I need to remove the door panels?

So, I am now ready for some suspension work on my 85 monte ss. I would be looking for a 3f/2r drop or so. I was looking at the sc&c stage 2 kit for the front. What else would I need for/with that? What would I do to my rear? My monte is mainly a street car but I wouldn't rule out track time if I...

So in my 85 monte it feels that no matter what setting my blower is on my heat comes out of a combination of the floor and the defrost vents. and the first 3 levels dont work, its just blasting or off. Does anyone have any ideas?

I have an 86 monte ss and I am looking to get new wheels for the warmer weather that is coming up. My monte is at stock height and there is no suspension work done yet. I will eventually be looking into a different suspension and what not but that is a bit farther away than anything else. What...
