OK here is the photo from the link above.
your talking a Camaro carb not a monte carlo carb and those are in Canada.

So unless he has a emissions carb from can. that looks like this he should be good to go.

I used to know what those plugs were but cant remember any more. i have only see one in person once on a car that was actually drove in to the country from Can. other wise i haven't seen them on a US Spec car.
and never on a monte carlo. So if he has this on a monte then i stand corrected.


HOW TO POST PHOTOS HERE.
go to the bottom of the thread where IT says POST REPLY not to the fast reply section.
Open the post reply link.
Once open look at the bottom of it. in the file section. you will see
CLICK HERE TO UPLOAD! click on it and it will bring up a small window , it will have a blank space and a button that says browse on it.
Click on the browse button. find the photo that you want and hit upload/OK

once it has done this it will let you know it was done successfully or not.
If so then you hit the OK bottom and again at the bottom of the post where you found the first button there is a Check box that says Embed in to post.
click it and then hit OK or type your message.
once done it will upload the photo for you and also put it in the post for you. or at least give you a link to the photo.

i know that carb is off a camaro but it is the only pic i could find now in canada all 305 h.o. (l69)and all 305(lg4) got this carb thats all gm cars in the 80 s so your saying the the us carbs did not change to the ccc i did not know that then i guess a edelbrock carb would fit the app.

When do we get to see your LS Monte?

I know I love Q-jet carbs. Infact right now I'm running three of them. Including the stock Q-jet on my '86 LS monte.

I'd take a decent Q-jet over a Holley any day of the week. I tried three different Holleys on my first car when it's Q-jet needed work. None of these Holleysmade my 327 perform like the Q-jet did.

Idid have the Q-jet off my Montere-built in 2004 at a local shop. First time they went through it my engine ran like s--t! And they tried to blame it on my engine when I complained. I even had to buy a used Q-jet off Mike from Mike's Montes, slap it on my engine and drive my Monte to this shop to show them it WASN'T.... my engine!

Then they agreed to go through the carb again. Gee guess what? Second time I get my carb back my engine runs fine. [8D]

Slippage from the transmission can make your car seem slow.

The carbs Chevy put on the 1980s Montes are controlled by distributor. If you go to a non-electronic carb you'll need to switch the distributor as well. A lot of guys don't realize this then they change the carb on the engine and find it either doesn't run or run very well?

99% of the guys who own an '81-88 Monte say to dump the stock 305 engine (even the 305 H O engines) and shove in a decent 350 or bigger engine. They all consider the stock 305s a boat anchor. That for the cash you sink into making a 305 run half way decent you could have made a 350 run REAL nice.

Personally I happen to like the 305 H O in my LS Monte.
I own a car with a '68 327 in it and 4-speed.
A car with a '69302 in it and 4-speed.
A car with an early '70s 350 in it. (I can turn the back tires in 3rd gear in a Station Wagon with this 350)
Plus I've got another car with a mid-70s 350/350 turbo in it.

The 305 H O in my Monte is fine.

nope understand it is not acamaro jsu tdidn tknow if you knew it LOL

in the states i have enver seen this unless it was brought down from Can.

as far as being controlled from the distro. i guess i never knew this due to me having tore them out in favore of a MSD ing. system on my cars.

also im all fo rthe 305-307 and the 350's they are all great motors sure you will pay a bit more to get the 305 and the 307 to out preform the 350's but i have seen this done also.
