What’s going on fellas? So after the valve job I thought I was all done with this engine. Seems like #1 still isn’t firing. It's now building compression (120psi) and the engine is running a whole lot better, but I just can’t seem to fine tune it. I am also running rich (some black smoke at...

Edelbrock 1405 Carburetor So i rebuilt my carb for no apparent reason. Just because it was 10yrs old and very dirty. Thought rebuilding it would finish fine tuning my idle. So i used new gaskets, needles, and floaters. Everything else I re used. My original floaters were nowhere near 7/16 -...

Been having this elcamino for about 2 years but i never went in depth with it why i ran like crap. Popping out the carb at high speeds. So recently i made time to look at it (blame it on the covid19) Went around pulling plugs 1 by 1 to see if they would all make the engine bog down. #1 and #7...

Ok so changing out my turn signal cam went good and I ran into another problem that I didn't know was there. My front turn signals work but my rear don't. This is what happened at first: Both front turn signals were working fine, and only rear passenger was working. Changed out my rear driver...

Right where the sport mirror is supposed to be mounted (closer to front...

I have a couple questions about my El Camino. I don't believe the truck and the VIN plate are a match. I googled the VIN and it shows it was originally a v6. The truck has a 305 / th350. The dash has a super sport emblem which I know could of been added after but still. It has power windows and...
