Ok, So I checked the fuse to the ignition. And there is three different terminals. One of them is open and the other two have pink wires coming from them. Is there any specific one I am supposed to use? I went a grabbed a cap and coil I know works from my buddy just to test. And the car still...

Sorry, I should have updated. I didn't think an easy out could get back there, but I just went ahead and pulled the distributor and got it out. All is well in oil world now! Now all I have to do is get this damn distributor to work...I don't think I am getting any spark, The motor just turns...

I've got a small smoking issue too. I think it's from the leak I had on my transmission coolant lines...Probably fell on the headers.. If it's from the passenger side, you might start off and check the oil dipstick and makesure it's seated correctly, perhaps go grab some minute gasket from Autozone...

Dude, you're killin' it man. I wish I had me a crew to work on stuff with, you are one lucky guy to have so many beasts in the G-body world right there with ya! Keep up the good work man, I'm using a lot of your stuff to work on my monte. I wouldn't have been able to get my front end done...

Was that for both sides, or just one door?

How much of a PINA was it to install those? And how much did you pay for them? My doors are in desperate need of new trims all around lol

So, My oil pressure sending unit seemed to be a tad bit jerry rigged...Surprise surprise coming from a used monte carlo in Indianapolis...lol I think the little brass tubing he used was what the factory used..but he stacked like 6 of those little crew on fittings end to end to make the sending...

Yeah, sorry about the late reply, been super busy. I never got it running. I went to the junkyard, found a nice distributor and coil that looked rarely used at all, put it in, changed the plug wires, put in new plugs, and tried my hardest to get it right on tdc....And it still idled with a hop...

And yeah Chickenpox, I KNow ALL about the fuel filters on these quadrajets. it is DEFINITELY worth the effort to get really close and turn that thing in there perfectly straight...Crossthread THAT thing and you might as well toss that whole section of the carb and get a different one, cause...

Thank you megaladon, I was wondering if I was going to have to go to my dad's and get that spark plug tester tool. he lives kinda far away. But I just hold it NEAR a ground? Like, inches? or touch it to an insulated part of the ground for the battery or something? And FYI, just to get the...

UPDATE.... I took the base plate off of the JY carb and replaced my goood carb's baseplate, I got the engine to TDC with the rotor pointing the right direction, both valves closed on #1, mark on the balancer is right at 0, all plugs are in the right spot, I even advanced the timing just a hare...

Sorry I would have checked back last night but I've been really busy. No, I didn't check the quadrajet the the JY very well, it didn't seem all that bad. everything moved freely and I could see the jets at the top and they were still shiney. But That is going to be my first thing to do today is...

I swear...It ran just fine before this...I SWEAR... What's up gentlemen, I have been on here before but I forgot all my info since it's been so long since I've been on. I have a screen name on here, Bssman317 I think...anyway I shut my car down to give it some new flowmaster turndowns.. It's an...

I actually bought a 78 el camino super sport that had a 350..or366 "tall block"...not sure if it was that one...but the guy kept calling it a 350 "big block" so I was like.."nice I'm about to get this car cheap"..haha It was a rather torqy motor...felt about like a regular 350, but I ended up...

Hey guys, sorry for the long wait for a reply. I'm a boilermaker/refractory engineer...it requires months away from home lol. But I DID get the interior I wanted, I ended up getting almost the entire setup from the dash and guages all the way to the console and seats for about 100...

I have a 1987 Monte super sport with the t-tops...too excited about it to explain with words lol It has a g in the vin, but it has a coumn shifter and the 3/4 seats? I have a feeling the interior was redone, but who knows, it all matches so whatever lol. I am planning on taking out the 3/4...

When I started it up and ran it, the belt was smoking because the jaggass that owned the car before me thought it was a good idea to have like a 90/10 ratio of water to coolant...coolant being the lower ratio...haha f****in ha....wow Now there is this like 1" hole shooting water underneath the...

SEE, now you see my confusion. But i was actually getting back on to say I got the car to start and run finally. I tried connecting the red and green wire to the dist. and it did not turn over. So I took that little pink wire you see in the bundled loom on the picture and connected it with a...

and it does try to start but it never starts it will just keep cranking until the battery dies again... Today I checked for spark with this plug-clip thing my dad gave me...had spark recharged the battery, then I put the battery in the car and ran an extention chord to the car so the charger...

That's the part that is messin with me. I KNOW I drove it home( about 10 miles) with no belt. I got home and started it once again with no belt for my dad and the battery DID die. I recharged the battery and fixed the P/S pully and put a new belt onto the P/s and alt. assembly I let the battery...
