Can't get Camino to crank
Check any and all grounds and both cables at battery even if im stating the obvious. Something thats made me look dumb a few times with auto and city electrical is getting voltage readings that look ok to find out theres not enough amperage to operate sh*t. Example would be 0 gauge cable with...- jlcustomz

Aftermarket Sway Bar Selection
I think the straight splined end bars with adjustable links is theoretically a top choice. also think that for street use a little stronger bar with not so stiff a front spring rate is the direction to go for ride quality vs roll resistance.; such as if fronts on airride . thats what i think...- jlcustomz

Window motor and regulator track
Sorry im not a track /parts years expert, But some common sense to me things could help here.. If you look at the typical home garage door system for example. there is some sort of counterbalancing spring system taylored to the weight of the door. Otherwise any lift motor wouldn't work at all...- jlcustomz

Forgot to mention on small engine carbs, pilot jet clogging is main cause of issues. never took apart 160 honda carb yet to be familiar with though. Possibly might have a limiter cap on the pilot adjustment screw you could remove- jlcustomz

Getting back to my dirtbike chopper drift trike project, which will eventually ride in the el camino under my bedcover with a custom lift mechanism. Started out as a lowered dirtbike with go kart axle attached to swingarm. It felt very controlled this way, could do 360's in my double driveway...- jlcustomz

Headers
I've mentioned that pass side frame rail mod that rabbithole showed on this site before, couldn't find it in my pics last nite. I think it's a good mod to do to any g-body for any headers when engine is out. Started making my own headers years ago from used Kooks Nascar LS series headers. True...- jlcustomz

Headers
That sucks that holley quit making theirs. I'm not up to date on what's available these days, but some of the speed engineering batches were said to be pretty decent. Before there were much of any g-body LS headers, guys used to take 98 to 02 f body headers & do a few mods to make them fit. May...- jlcustomz
