thanks charlie. lol
check and see if the sender has a area below it tht you can get a short wrench on it, if not a small vise grips sometimes will work and you can get it in there and make a 1/4 turn to start with and work it out. the sender is shot so you might as well get it out however you can. at least no distibutor to mess with back there
Barb, tomorrow swing by the Advance Auto store at 100 Winters St there in West Point. There is a socket on hold for you. It is all paid for and is yours. I spoke to Matt at 804-843-4143, he is off tomorrow but it has Barb written on it on the hold shelf.
Enjoy.:)

You're a really nice lady, glad to do it for you. I've gotten so much enjoyment from your build and your spirit of keeping to it, that I had to give something back to you. :D
Now I have to hide the receipt from my cat. :eek::LOL:
Don
lol. thanks again
well guys after taking most of the summer off to work on me and my phobias i am finally going back to work on the monte. so here we go. while the monte was strapped to be pulled back into my garage the strap slipped. it knocked my radiator stop cock a little sideways. not that is leaking. can i just push it back in or is it welded and i have to get another radiator.
Any Radiator Shop should be able to braze that in a couple minutes, it should be a easy fix for them.
Call the differant shops around though because some of them will try to take you to the cleaners. $$$$
It should only be a couple of bucks, like I said it's a easy fix.

Actualy if it isn't leaking I don't think I'd bother
thanks guys. it is leaking badly. i miss typed before. guess i will hunt around for a brazer.
make sure you get someone who knows what there doing to much heat and the hole thing will fall apart. Soldering it would be better.
Barb, the guys are right, just find any old time radiator shop and they can solder or silver solder that back on for almost no money. Don't let them tell you that you need more than that, if they are honest they will gladly do it for not much money.
I just took the radiator for my 27 in this week, the top seam was split and they had to silver solder it to try to get some strength back. A nice cuban guy was the worker and when I came to pick it up I asked him if he was the one who did the work, and he said yes. So I slipped him a $ 20 and when the owner of the place saw that he said, your bill is paid ! I told him I couldn't do that, but he insisted. It's nice to know there are honest, nice businesses out there yet.
You won't have any problem getting yours done cheap too.
Don
PS, glad to see you working on the Monte again, it was pretty boring without your posts.:D
thanks don. it does feel good to be back at it.
