Central, we do rely upon member contributions to keep the site and server running smoothly. As membership grows, so does
site usage. Recently we have seen a huge jump in server load and bandwidth. As a result, at times we notice extremely

I added some pics to my gallery of the braces. Go to members cars, 5th gen, page 7, "CHVYPWRS's '78". _________________ 1978 El Camino Conquista/SS, F-41 suspension, 350/T5/3:73

Talk to your local speed shop and ask them who coats headers in your area...get the $100 Hedmans (they fit better than any other brand), then coat them. In Dallas I can get it done for $75.... _________________ Kelly C. Hanna

I've been told that Wayne at Lucky's speed shop in Garland knows the guy who does it. Tell him one of the guys in the Southern Bowties Club told you about it. He doesn't know me yet, but he knows Ryan Chrisenberry (who told me about it). _________________ Kelly C. Hanna

TES headers fit fine but you have to drill the fenderwell insert to get to the plugs in certain cylinders (not sure which ones...never had 'em myself, but a friend did and told me he had to drill for two or three plugs).
He also had leaks in his, but I think it was a gasket problem. _________________ Kelly C. Hanna

The Camaro quick ratio box can be ID'ed by a large Z cast into the top of the box and the last three casting numbers are 525.
The brace under the core support is out of a G-body Grand Prix. It helps add stability to the frame, especialy when added to the Monte SS frame braces. _________________ 1978 El Camino Conquista/SS, F-41 suspension, 350/T5/3:73

The steering box I'm using came out of an '87. The "Z" box was used in mid '80's Z28's and IROC's. You could also post a want add over at www.montecarloss.com too, asking for an F-41 steering box. _________________ 1978 El Camino Conquista/SS, F-41 suspension, 350/T5/3:73
