1972 LSA Supercharged Monte Carlo: We Fixed It...Then Broke It Again BAD (Stranded on The Turnpike)

What happens here

The creator starts the Monte Carlo with open headers for an initial sound test and to confirm basic engine function. The car runs, and the driver tests the forward gear, which appears to be functioning. However, during a highway test drive, the driveshaft unexpectedly fails due to being too short. The car loses power, and they have to pull over on the highway. The driveshaft had slipped out because its length was incorrect for the new transmission setup. This leads to the car needing to be towed back to the shop, highlighting the importance of correct driveshaft length.

Goal: Test the car's functionality and identify any remaining issues.

Tools and materials

  • Trailer — Transporting the broken-down vehicle
  • Truck GMC — Hauling the trailer
