Ok the shorty headers didn't fit so I got long tube headers which are ceramic coated.

I got the motor in but when I turn the key I get nothing. So I'll be digging about wires tomorrow until I get the starter to engage.

Hoping to post a running vid tomorrow

If you have fuseable links on your starter wires check to see if they are good.

Ok so I got it started and running, then I decided to touch up the install and re route everything so it looks nice and neat. Not I got no ****in spark.

Bruh....

I'm gonna tackle this tomorrow. Almost ready to go back on the street.

What was wrong with it?

 

[78chevelle]

Who ever "restored" it was playing sh*t charades with the wiring harness. So it took for ever to find the make shift wire connecting the battery to the distributor.

I should have her on the road tomorrow, then I'll start the body work.

Took a video of it running but can't seem to load it. Do I need to use photo bucket?

I've heard that some g body el caminos had posi. Before I trash mine I wanted to check. It's there a code that would tell me on the housing?

 

[TURNA]

Hey sounds goooooooood!!!

There is a code to see if your rear is a posi but it is located under the gas pedal.

If you press the pedal fast and firm a smile should appear on your face.

If one does you have a posi.

Haha. The el camino has no motor
