I went to the local Gm (Chevy) dealer for a door latch the other day (Not available from the aftermarket) for my other truck, not my El Camino. Anyway... The Parts guy wanted to charge me $128.00! I told him that I had my own business up North (Showed proof) and retired down here a short time...

So....I finally removed the gas tank on my El Camino. I had mentioned that I needed a gas tank sending unit because I swapped the V6 (Throttle body Injection electric pump) and installed a V8, using a mechanical fuel pump. I had installed a 1985 Monte Carlo sending unit because the parts store...

I need a gas tank sending unit for a 1978 El Camino (Never worked right), but to order it I have to know if it's a 17 or 22 gallon tank. The parts guy says to check the glove box decal.... but it's gone.....he also said the tanks look alike. I drained the gas out of it last week and I suppose I...

Looks like I'll be putting a new frame under my 39' Ford (Standard Coupe) Street-rod. Some Gal whacked into me going about 45mph while I was stopped at a red light. She pushed my car into the 4wd up front. I hate when this sh*t happens! Not to mention that I'm still sore and.... can't find 2...

"Make it yourself" or an "Improvise" section...... I like stuffing big tires under any car. I wanted to run bigger tires but I couldn't get them in the rear wheel well. I disconnected the shocks and almost got it to fit. So.... I made a trip to Home Depot and bought 2 threaded sleeves (1/2"...

I had the gas tank out of my 85' El Camino to replace the sending unit. I wanted to use the car the next day for my 2 week vacation. No one had the sending unit in stock locally, so I installed one from Auto zone.The application said that it fits 78' - 86' station wagons...I installed it. The...

I need a part for my 85' El Camino, that I can't find (Yet). The left door window rolls up but doesn't "Hug" the weatherstrip at the top front corner. It whistles on the highway and leaks at a (Pressure) car wash. I haven't taken the door panel off yet, but I'm told that there is a plastic piece...

Yep! I'm the FNG! (Vietnam Veteran talk) I've been playing with cars since 1964. I worked for 2 Chevrolet dealers back in the 70's and then went on my own. I enjoy all Hotrods, muscle cars and Harleys (Mostly). My present rides are: 85' El Camino (Had 6 .... so far) 39' Ford...
