If you've ever used one of the jacks with the long handle that you have to rotate to "screw" the jack up into place then you'll know that it's no fun as the jack base will rotate and flip over when your rotating the jack handle. The Monte Carlo jack stays in place and was designed to keep the base aligned with the "jacking point". I've tried many jacks over the years (50 years) and have never found a better jack for the old classic cars. Every time I go to a swap meet I buy every one I find....usually about 10 bucks (15 bucks for a really nice one). But you do have to have the resources to weld a stud (raised portion) onto the load point so that it will fit snugly into the factory holes in the sub-frame. Call me crazy but that's just my opinion:thumbsup::):steering:
