DONNIE,
I may be stupid, but from your description it sounds as if you already have a monte carlo bar in place. Just my $.02.

Kinda thinking the same thing, it may be a straigt stock monte carlo bar. Maybe Donnie is thinking of a curved monte carlo bar or the export brace. Just throwing out a few thoughts. JOHN

Both the straight bar and the curved are Monte Carlo bars. The curved is easier to remove your distr. cap tho.------------------

the export brace ties the two shock towers to the firewall so to speak and where used in exportation of vehicle (over seas) the monte carlo bar i believed got its name from the races in monte carlo where they needed a stiffer front end (more rigid if you must) road racing stuff Bruce
