Thank you Muzz. From other pics, it looks like the bar is about an inch away from the top shock tower's bolt  going towards the front of the car?

Last time I posted a pic it looked fine on my phone but came out upside down on the website. The guys can be merciless around here.  I'll measure tomorrow and report.  The bar attaches to the top fender bolt areas and top two front shock tower bolts on the forward side. The side braces on the Monte Carlo bar are triangular.   Just order one and trial fit it.  That's the best way.  You will also find out if your shock towers have bowed in any over the years.  Some do, some don't. You'll just have to fit it and see.

I have a lap top now and that's the only difference. It was click, click, click. Then I read Photobucket was charging? No way.

Here's A photo of mine.  It's a '66, but the spacing is close to the same as yours.  The rear mounting bolts are in the stock holes for the fender.  I had to drill the front ones.  The dizzy cap has plenty of room to be removed.

Thank you!
This is what I'm looking for. Do you think it will fit like this on a 68? To be able to remove dizzy cap? Where did you get it and a part number please? Aboiut how much does it weigh? Would it be considered heavy duty?

I probably got both brace and bar at Maier Racing.  Bill Maier left the company, a few years back, so I don't know about the current state of affairs.  It's been so long that I can't remember part numbers.  If you are concerned about the dizzy, get one with the bend/half circle in the middle.  Mine fits just fine.  As to your 68,  I cannot say.

It weighs 2-4 lb.  Anything you get from Maier would be heavy duty or to original specs..

Butt-eye have a 66(IF that makes a difference)

Looks like there is a difference. My 68 bar would have to be between the top bolt and the shock tower housing or I'd have to pull either the bar or the spark plug wires to get to the dizzy cap off. Guess what?! The photo bucket won't work again. At least now I know not to argue with it.

Guess I am still arguing with it. WTF? Some pics upload, some won't.

Photobucket is not worth the effort or cost. Tiny pic here on the site works well or Flickr is a free hosting site option. Nice ride.

Pardon me, sir. I meant tiny pic is not working on every pic.
When Tiny Pic is obscure at the bottom of the pic to upload it won't work. 
I do not have a tiny pic account

for some reason..i cant log on to Tiny Pic through this site

I save my pics on google drive, then to post on a thread here I click on upload image, then choose file, I then copy the jpg (because after I upload the image I'm unable to add the image to my post), I then paste the copied jpg to my post text. Works for me.

I like that link! What is it?

Here's a nice shot of my monte carlo bar. If you look real close. Not! Thanks for viewing

it says a success. And the pic is there but the TinyPic link in the lower left corner is obscure. This means it won't upload. It only works right on some photos.  [url=http://plugin.tinypic.com/plugin/join.php?popts=l,wide|t,images|c,forum|i,en|s,false|cu,http%3A%2F%2Ffyi.boardhost.com%2Fcallback.html|ct,Add+to+Your+Post]Join usUT oh my this is moving the Tiny pic link today![/url]© TinyPic.com.
