I finally get to see your

Big Block Monte Carlo

Is it back in Indiana?
Or do you have it in New York?

Uh, it's somewhere inbetween. The guy who's been storing it for me this past month has had several people inquire about it's availability, so I'm considering selling it.

Is that a big block, with the TH400? Front disc? Now that could be a real smoke machine- hmmm, early '70's still points and condenser. Easy to swap an old GM HEI distributer, if you can find one. That is pre-catalyst, too. Needs premium leaded? I've fallen back into the past in my oun head! No air bags or ABS- just a basic hot rod. Not sure what's going on in the collectable market- what does something like this book for?

reminds me of a keg party I was at years ago, and one of my friends asked a cute young thing with tight shorts if she was "going to feed that thing before it eats your shorts?"....

Yes (402), yes & yes.

Bought it with an Accel HEI already installed. I run regular 87 octane - stays around 180* unless I'm doing 100mph for a long period of time, which happened occasionally. Then I had to turn the second fan on & it would level out around 220*.

Another Chevrolet I wouldn't mind owning.

I can still remember Tommy Kristoff's 1970 454 SS Monte Carlo.

Black Cloth Interior.
Brown Exterior
Black Vinyl Roof.
Corvette rims - Trim rings - Center caps.

I use to pump 260 Sunoco Leaded Fuel into that Bad Boy
