I bought a 67 Camaro RS for only $6,500 and I'm taking it to LS Fest East in only 5 days. We've got the rebuilt Powerglide transmission and the LS2 from J&J Auto Wrecking in and now the former SAAB engine is getting the complete Holley Terminator EFI treatment. The new windshield is installed thanks to my friends at Blue Collar Collision and Glass. All that's left is tying up odds and ends then we can turn the key.

@robertelee6712 3 года назад

When doing a LS swap, it's IMO to get the car running the way you want it first, then tear it apart and fix the cosmetics. I put mine together first and decided along the way to put twin turbos on it, I had to prefab everything to make it work, had I painted all the engine bay, it would have been scratched and had holes in it. Jr. Works on a budget just like most people so that could also be a factor.

@Bowtie4me 3 года назад

for the clip on wiper GM was doing this until late 90's. Caprice/Impala SS are like that. GMT400(C15/K15 and all up) until 99 in the 2500/3500 truck.

I've seen a lot of hot rods and restomods (and cars with systems) with bad grounds. Its one of the most overlooked things during a build. Glad to see you doing it right. Big 3 ground upgrade: Batt - to frame (if applicable) Batt - to block Batt - to body

@gwick358 3 года назад

Hahaha. I bought a 67 Camaro in 82 for $500. Wish I still had that car. I have the same serpentine belt tool. Love gear wrench tools. Can't wait to see the finished product.

@sejembalm 3 года назад

In the mid '80s, I bought a series of $500 cars. Bought a 1953 Cadillac in 1985 (leaf springs suddenly shattered on the rear left wheel, punched a hole in the gas tank, severed the brake line, sold the car to a mechanic). Then I bought a 1974 Cadillac ambulance for an RV in 1988 (got stolen), then a 1973 VW Thing in 1989 (got stolen), then a 1975 VW Beetle (got stolen). I was so sick of my cars getting stolen (I lived in a slum in San Jose, California, with thieves and villains for neighbors), I gave up on cars and rode my Dad's 1970 Schwinn Suburban bicycle around town until that got stolen (1/4" thick chain cut with big bolt cutters) and I moved on in 1993 to Honda 250 and 750cc motorcycles of the late '70s. I would have loved to have a 1967 Camaro in the mid-80s, but the thieves would have just stolen it.

@StephenCole1916 3 года назад

Hmm, something is fishy with your R8. Three months seems to be a very long time for a tuning. (I'm no expert just a thought) Maybe a surprise inspection is in order, just show up at the shop and ask to see the car.

@victorthecarguy3126 3 года назад

Another great episode. For anyone else out there needing a throttle pedal for a cable it looks like the pedal for a straight six from the first gen camaro or 68-74 straight six nova. I thought they used vacuum for RS's in 67 then electric motors for 68 and 69 oh well guess I was backwards mine is isn't a RS. When you get to the brakes is you go power you might want to consider a hydroboost it would leave a lot of clearance and engine vacuum wouldn't matter.

@texan01 3 года назад

It sort of has a frame, but 6 bolts hold the front suspension and cradle to the shell. It’s kind of a bastardized unibody.

@muskokamike127 3 года назад

@@texan01 not really, those are called sub frames k members or front clip, most unibody cars are built this way. A "frame off" assembly is typically used to describe a vehicle that has a body on frame construction.

When you loose field circuit control

@muskokamike127 3 года назад

PWM: Not sure if it is the same but I have a small diode laser that is controlled by PWM. If no wire is hooked up to the PWM pin the laser fires at full power. BTW: a constant 14.2 volts won't boil the battery, it's the amps the alternator puts out that will do that. 14.2 volts at 1 amp won't even charge the battery more than a trickle. 70 amps constant will fry it.

Cambric electrical insulating wrap. A nonstick wrap similar to tape with excellent insulation, mechanical and protection from variations in The Luck and Stuff plus it can be removed quickly and cleanly leaving no resin dudes. Commonly used for electric motor connections to make things easier when The Shit Stopping The Fan. Good general electrical tape is 3M Super 33 and slightly thicker Super 88. Some self vulcanizing rubber splicing tape is great for making damn sure nothing goes pooffft. 3M makes reliable tape, it isn't cheap and if it seems crazy expensive then keep looking they're gouging or were gouged themselves.
