    All too familiar to that popping sound through the carb. Camshaft has a lobe thats rounded flat or a worn out lifter , bent pushrod. Easy fix and I would upgrade the cam anyway without the popping sound..not a deal breaker, a compression check will tell you that, or just watch how the valves react after taking off valve covers. Judging by the smoke I would say its on the passenger side. Love these Diamonds in the ruff sold cheap

    I personally think it's a lot of money for the car needs quite a bit of work but there's a lot of Chevy Monte Carlo love is out there and if you're a mechanically inclined or bodywork incline can have a good car

      I don't understand people putting SS badges on non SS cars. Stop it ! You'll just need to explain to people its not an SS. It would get exhausting and irritating..

      @@BigBlockChevrolet I truly don't care what they say, I was in the showroom in 1972 when my father bought a brand new 1972 black on black 1972 Monte Carlo SS454. If that's not enough Google it or go to Chevrolet website and do a history search because it's in there too. Now I'm done with this subject too.

    This car is a north east baby that has seen many salted roads though out it's years. For that accounts for the rust that we see and I agree conwell for every thing he see's.

    Needs valve guides and/or seals, I believe. Could be a lower manifold gasket leaking, but I would expect it to run rough all the time from that. If I had the scratch I'd take the chance that it's the valve seals and buy it.

    • @jerrywilson9033
      @jerrywilson9033 4 месяца назад

      After hearing you rev the engine with the hood up, it actually sounds like a valve is hanging open. Either from misadjusted valve lash or burnt valve or a broken valve spring. Pull spark plug wires from one cylinder at a time and rev it up. If I'm right, when you pull the plug on the offending cylinder it won't pop. You'll just feel a dead miss.

    I drove a similar stock 409 ss montecarlo once 70 thru 72, about a hundred thousand miles on it. Performance wise. It waa very average. But it was very special to me. Becsuse it wa so rare. I couldnt afford it. And even crazier it was a whosale car!? The car lot didnt know what they had. And the owner was a american luxury car collector...

      @@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate Well if it was an intake leak it would be running rough, as there would a loss of vacuum. Yup that's why it smokes out of the right bank. Raw fuel getting into both cylinders as come up on their compression strokes. 50 years in the game tells me that. Still would love to it.

    One of the reasons people don't subscribe, is because once we watch a video you make, RUclips starts suggesting your videos in our feeds. So you can either accept the view count you get, or tell RUclips stop recommending your videos just because people watched one of your videos. Its between you and RUclips. If people don't subscribe to your channel, there's a reason for it. And every person has their own reason.

    • @MapleMotorsNickSouthgate
