    The 87 has a unique filler neck that differs from the Monte Carlo radiator.  Your best course of action is to have the original re-cored/rebuilt/welded by a reputable shop.

    Yeah, I had that done twice.  The second time was harder - apparently what with aluminum radiators not many places around to have this re-coring done.  My mechanic sent my radiator out-of-state!

    Well my spare tire is laying flat under the trunk floor, has a lift up carpeted cover. The fuel tank is right behind the rear axle stuffed up in front of the trunk floor.

    Also, if your gas door is up by the rear pillar - battery on left side front - hood opening latch mechanism involves 2 latch rods - outside mirrors not attached to window frames - headlight housing has  metal trim frame used to secure plastic lense  - -  And More  - -  you have the Monte Carlo.  PLUS you have front vent windows and the rear side windows prop open.

    It needed the ground strap or there would have been no effective ground plane for reception purposes.  A metal bodied car forms its own ground plane.

    I can't let this go.  When 'Regnalbob' answered - I was going to say,  "Makes perfect sense"; except the original question was a little (shall we say) deceiving since we all know other Studes were METAL!  Just say'n🤥

    While a PCV was not standard on R3s and R4s it was offered as an option for $12.00. ( dealer cost: $9.32 ).

    Mandatory in California.

    I hear yah about CA - my 64.5 Barracuda (from CA) had IT!😎

    That is because i have owned Corvettes and my friends Dad had a Rambler American. It had vacuum wipers and he ran string out of the wind wing to pull them back as they would only move one way.🤣

    Well, I never owned even one Corvette but my neighbor (1950's) had the vacuum wipers - might as well not have any wipers at all almost!🤪
