el camino

Hi all, I have the Hellwig Gbody Frame FX kit and am getting ready to install it on my 1986 El Camino. Now I know it is only for the Monte and the other 2 doors because the El Camino frame is about 9 inches longer. My intention is to extend the pieces by remaking the pieces longer. I have...

I recently been having a parasitic draw problem, It has been pulling .47amps. I have isolated it down to the Ctsy / clock 20amp fuse. I do no have a clock in the dash, and no lights appear to stay on and function as they should. I have disconnected the Door switches, glove box switch, replaced...

I was a member ~10 yrs ago. Had(still have) an 81 Cutlass Supreme and 78 Camino. Unfortunately around 2015 an acquaintance and his meth head friends stopped by and stole all my tools, wheels off the Cutty, ransacked the Camino, took everything I'd had to rebuild engine and trans, and stole my...

Hey everybody, I've got an 83 el camino that I'm trying to install an old pair of Southside Machine Rear Lower Control arms onto. Seeing as I think GForce acquired them, and they are no longer in business, i have no idea how these are supposed to mount up. I've found instructions on ss396.com...

Hello, I have a 78 el Camino and since I’ve had it I noticed that’s whenever I turn on the headlights or park lights the right turn signal indicator lights up. More recently both indicators will work on and off. All of the lights work perfectly fine, there just seems to be a problem with the...

Hello everyone, this is my first post and I'm very glad to be a member of this forum. Thank you all for the mountain of knowledge that can be found here. Now that the intro is handled, let's get down to business. I recently purchased a set of 4 rusty chrome cargo hooks and a pair of very rusty...

Hey Guys! First time actually owning a G-Body, Was given to me by my grandfather (unless you count my destroyed 79 Caprice Estate, *Insert G/A body joke here*) Let me list some specs: - 350 with a Quadrajet from some 80's Camaro (80k miles), My grandfather doesn't remember specific year, It has...

Some one might be interested in this one. Price seems about right.

When I got my el Camino, both windows worked as they should, but out of nowhere, the passenger one stopped working. I tested it and there’s no power to switch or the window motor, anyone know what could be my issue?

Found a guy selling the kit for $100 a side, but the EC has two body mounts on the rail and the MC has one. Are they identical otherwise? Can I just cut off the extra body mount if necessary and use the EC rail?

Hello and thanks in advance! I have slowly been learning and building a 78 el camino, with a abc 350/th350. I managed to get the engine running and finally took it out on the road. At first take off car felt fine but when I floored the gas the car begins to sputter and feels sluggish. On idle...

I have a 185 degree thermostat in my el camino at the moment, when the car is first cold it gets up to almost 200-210 degrees before the thermostat opens up and cools off the engine. Afterwards it acts completely normal. Is this typical behavior or should I replace it?

Hi all, Its been a looong while since I’ve logged on here - I hate to be the guy that only participates when he needs help! Promise I’ll try to be a little more active haha To make a long story short, I’ve got an 86 El Camino with a stock 305. She’s been sitting all winter so I went to jump...

What is the process for switching a 1980 el camino from a bench seat/column shifter to a bucket seat/floor shifter setup? I really like the look of these and was considering making the change myself but I want to know what all it entails. And for those who have done it, what kind of seats and...

Will a wiring harness from a 1978 el camino fit my 1980? The wiring harness is for a 350 and mine original engine was swapped for a 350. I don't need it to be an exact replacement, I can add in things or change things, but would it be pretty close?

Hey everyone. Cam finally went flat in my original 305. I’ve been looking into the most amount of power I can get with still passing California smog. Looks like that fresh Chevrolet crate 350/290 is the way to go for me, it’s a daily driver but I take it to shows too. They come with a 222 cam...
