Well its been raining for over a week now .... I saw the sun 1 day. So I ran to the store and it was raining and everything was fine came home, then about 2 hours later when I tried to leave monte wouldn't start, no spark I checked real quick so I took the truck. So the next morning it wasn't pouring I grabbed some tools (car not in garage) and started to check it out ... in checking for wire and spark problems it started up 
... so in the garage it goes, which brings me to what I did today. I yanked out that stupid computer controlled distributer (that apparently doesn't like the rain) and dropped in an HEI. I must be getting better cause after I got it all hooked up it fired right up, thru timing light on it and it was at 4 degrees 8) pretty close. So timing is set and my tach doesnt jump around at idle anymore, next to go will be the cc carb I just need to find someone good w/Q-jets to rebuild the other one I have.

I'm heading back to the paint shop today to get my the paint tinted since I choose the wrong color...The guy at the shop ought to have known the color I was looking for so I'm kinda pissed he didn't know or tell me the paint I chose from a paint chip at the shop was not what I was looking for.... :|

Between today and yesterday, finished pulling header panel, bumper, core support and got the engine/trans about 99% ready to pull tomorrow. It's a good day when the exhaust manifold studs don't break!
I pulled the monte out of my flooded driveway I have now after the recent flood. I had about 6 inches of water inside of it and it sat like that for 2 days since I was away Time for new carpet, seats and probly floors! **** my life!!!

83MONTESS....if you wash the carpet out and change the underpadding it might be allright...that sucks tho and sorry to hear about that...
I ordered the pinion gear kit from Auburn for my 8.2, the thrust washers were worn....and I picked up a new color paint today since I must have had a brain fart when I picked out the first color....my car is going have an expensive base on it since I can do anything with the first color except to use it to cut down on the paint I need for the color I got...it'll now be the 69 chevy dusk blue color that'll be covered with a matte clear..
