Reviving a Long-Stored Big Block Monte Carlo

TLDRWe revive a big block Monte Carlo that has been sitting for years. The car is equipped with a 402 engine, long tube headers, and vintage air. We clean the starter, replace the battery cable, and install a new Vortex starter. After some cranking, the car starts up and runs smoothly.

The starter on the car is melted and needs to be replaced with a Vortex starter for better performance and fit with headers.

It is important to use the correct starter bolts to prevent bending and ensure a secure fit.

After replacing the starter and battery cable, the car starts up and runs smoothly.
