I have a Chevy 350 with a quadrajet carb, no computer and a mechanical fuel pump. Yesterday, my car just stalled on the road. I couldn't get it started. I looked in the carb and pushed the accelerator lever. No gas was squirting in. I got spark and compression. It starts when fuel is poured in...

I just installed my A/C system in my 84 Monte SS. I am going to take it to a garage to have them add compressor oil, evac the system, and fill it with 134a. I don't have any compressor oil added. Is this ok to start up and take to the garage which is a block away? Or should I remove the belt...

The secondaries of the quadrajet carb on my 84 Monte SS won't kick in. Also, when you slowly accelerate from stop, it shifts to 3 (TH350) right away and misses 2nd gear giving no chance of any quick acceleration. I suspect the vacuum. I put in a new choke. I don't have a reservoir connected. At...

I am a little disgusted with the fact that each year I go to the Gilmore Car Museum Muscle Car Show in Hastings Michigan, no SS Monte Carlos are there. I see like 3 or 4 Grand Nationals, but no bad *ss Montes. Not too many G bodys all around. Plenty of vettes and mustangs though. It takes place...

I have an 84 Monte SS with a 1970s 350 and a 350 transmission. After not driving it for a week, I noticed that the transmission fluid and oil was low. I added a half quart of engine oil and a half quart of transmission fluid to top off the levels. Gas was near empty as well so I filled it up and drove a few...

I recently installed a new Mr. Gasket water neck and found that it leaks around the bolt holes. It came with a rubber o-ring which I didn't use. I used a paper gasket that came with the thermostat. What is the best way to seal this? Should I go back to the O-ring or use an RTV sealant with the...

I have a few questions on installing front coil springs 1) There is a (blue) horse shoe shaped spacer that sits in the lower control arm (see pic). What is the orientation? Open end facing out or in? Picture shows outward. Is this right? This also determines the rotation of the spring because...

I need suggestions on removing the lower control arm. The nut came off not problem. The bolt just keeps spinning. It doesn't tap out. It seems like its just pushed through the bushing and twists in the center hole of it. How do you remove the bolt in each bushing? Thanks, Mike

I need advice on changing the front coil springs on an 84 Monte SS. I just banged out the top ball joint and the lower control arm sprang open. How do you squeeze the control arms together to get the ball joints back in? Jack? or compression tool?

I have a 1984 Monte SS that had a 305 with a computer now I have a 1970s 350 with no computer. I see alot of wiring connectors with no connection. Can I cut these out?
