Nick---If your Monza exhaust have separate pipes, and only one is
producing steam, let's explore your hunch. With the engine warmed up
enough to open the thermostat, open the radiator cap and see if any
bubbles are seen when running at a fast idle.

A leak-down test on the cylinders that feed the steamy pipe should make
something show up if the head gasket is really blown.

Also take a look under the distributor cap for the presence of moisture,
before starting the engine from cold.
