Yours looks in excellent condition-what colour is it?
Get it running properly and they are a great drive. My Royale has a 3.0 injection engine and 4 speed auto box fitted from a later Monza-so pops along very well. Paintwork is a little iffy-but very little rust The Senator had a worn camshaft when I bought it-just changed it and its going for an mot in the week.
Will have to start a thread for the Senator.

Its silver but in certain light looks a little mauve . Body work is in great condition no rust at all even inner wings are spotless chassis is in great nick too.bad points sunroof has been sealed shut and roof lining sagging and stained. Brakes are needing a lot of attention ,radiator leaking at gearbox is running very hot after a short journey . Hopeful I can get it on the road for summer tho

AS said (and back on topic) it sounds like an air leak somewhere. Check the free stuff, timing, pull the plugs make sure they are good, check that there are no open vac ports that should be sealed or have something attached, check that the carb is bolted down right and sealed, and set correctly (no idea on these if there's an idle mix adjustment etc) likewise the exhaust, make sure it's good and tight and not leaking. Check your tappets / rockers / whatever is on these. Compression. All the easy stuff that will teach you lots n lots about engines. Essentially, a damn good service and going over. Then when you have done that report back
