I’m about to rewire the Monaco and am going blindly start the dash removal in like an hour- unless you guys have any tips or bits of knowledge you’d like to share. This seems like it’ll be not too difficult, just time consuming. Any help is much appreciated

I need a booster for the 66 Monaco which I swapped to front discs. I've seen countless amounts of recommendations to just have an original dual diaphragm Bendix rebuilt. I would love to do that if I didnt wait so long. I will give in if I have to, but dont really want to wait on it. Is there...

In my very very limited electrical knowledge that will soon grow, I have located one wire on the 66 Monaco that I assume is the ground cable for the battery, and cant find squat for the positive cable. I want to get power going through the system so I can test out what works and what needs a...

Hey y’all I’m doing this school for automotive tech getting certified doing what I know n like and they have this cool restoration program they’re trying to start up and they’ve got a bunch of beautiful classics at varying stages of completion in shop just waiting for work. They've got a bunch...

I’m assembling the 496 and see no indication as to which way the pistons go and which ones belong in which bank. I also can’t put the rods on until I know which piston goes where bc of the chamfer/flat side and that orientation. So my question is which valve relief faces the front of the block...

As a result of the big upcoming merger, the Chrysler name is no longer a part of the company name The company formerly known as Chrysler is now Stellantis

I don’t really understand what this piece is, a filter for the vent? It’s behind the panel that would be next to your calves if driving. Looks far too nasty to go back in if it’s a filter. Is it just sort of an insulation or spacer so I could put it back in with this condition? Are there repops...

I’m putting together the 496 (383 stroker) and I’ve got a couple questions. The total seal c9190 65 rings are ‘file to fit’ and I’m wondering what clearance you guys think I should go for. It’s a street car, will be a very mild cam, -20 dish pistons. Another question, do I only file the top...

My upholsterer ran into an issue where theres a couple of bad springs on both sides on the Monaco's front bench. Does anyone have a source for these or would be willing to sell me some?

Today I finished up the install of the Borgeson power steering pump and their coupler on the 66 Monaco. I was a little unsure about hacking up the steering column to make it work, but I didn’t have to! All I needed to do was drill three holes through the intermediate shaft with the provided...

66 Monaco 2dr hardtop I want to get going on more interior work. Do you guys have recommendations for carpet and sound dampening that you swear by? I recall Big John praising FatMat Rattle Trap, not sure if I want the 50mil or 80mil thickness. For carpet I saw stuff all over the web like...

I looked at legendary and they didn’t seem to have a cover for the 66 Monaco, does anyone?

I was scraping and scrubbing and doing my thing to clean out the floor but I’m second guessing myself on a certain part. Are these areas also glue for the carpet or are they like holding the floor together? I kinda already started going at it...

66 Monaco 2Dr Losing the front bench was easy enough on the Monaco, just 4 nuts under the floor. I can’t really figure it out for the rear though. I vaguely remember seeing Lucky Costa being able to lose the bottom cushion but keep the backrest in while doing carpet on his 66 Fury wagon. Can I...

Spent too many hours grinding up a crap pitman puller from autozone to make it fit the large pitman arm on the 66 Monaco only for it to end up like this when using it. I’m putting in a new steering box, so I don’t mind damaging the splines/gears on the end of the box that go into the pitman arm...

I skimped out on buying an actual clutch spring compressor and am using C clamps for compressing the springs under the retainer. While reassembling the front clutch I contorted the retainer pretty darn good. Should I attempt to install it again and hope the force from the springs will get it...

I need a new one for the 66 Monaco's passenger side LCA. Can I just grab a castle nut at a hardware store or should I dig it out of a junkyard or is there a source for them online? I've seen pretty much nothing about it while googling, and dont know if theres anything special about the nut that...

I'm wrapping up the suspension rebuild this evening on the Monaco for the 2nd or 3rd or however many times, and I think you guys know what's wrong in that picture. That ring obviously should go up to the subframe and then I can tighten down the pivot nut, but the LCA will not travel any farther...

I'm going through nearly all of the 66 Monacos front suspension AGAIN to replace the incorrect strut bushings I installed months ago. Clearly I had some problems installing the driver torsion bar back then because the cylinder around it is all bashed in, and I cant get the bar out. I've hit the...

Hey all, I'm building a 496 for my 66 Monaco right now and am going to need to beef up the stock 727 that rests in the tunnel. It's going to need to withstand around 600 torque and 600 hp I assume. Do you guys have any rebuild/beef up kits you'd like to reccomend? Should I do a shift kit as...
