This post might be long but I want to get you as much info as possible. 85 El Camino. Bought with an Edelbrock intake manifold, a Holley 750 double pumper and flow master exhaust. I found out that the rest is all original so I've since had to replace the front, starter, alternator and blow motor. When I bought it none of the emission stuff was hooked up. No O2 sensors and the exhaust has no CAT at all. Bought it that way. The only on going issue was that she smelled like gas. Not just smelled but if I drive her for more than an hour then I would get a massive headache from the gas fumes. I even got out of 2 tickets because "that thing stinks. Here's your warning. Please get outta here." It was that bad. I bought a gasket with all new gaskets and figured i would work on that. First thing was I noticed that there was no exhaust manifold. Metal to metal so I replaced them. And that's when my problems started. Back firing, juttering, back fire through carbs. No get up and go at all bearly get up to speed. So I went on forums and was told that my CAT was clogged but since I have no CAT the said remove the ECM. So I had a buddy who knows how to do this kind of thing. Or so I thought. I planned on giving him an 01 ninja ZX11 for helping me. He removed the ECM and it has been at his place for almost 2 months and hes done with it I guess. So now I'm totally stuck. I need to get it outta there before its towed. I have the Gbody Chilton and planned on going off the 78 wiring. Diagram but none of the colors. What I need to know is what I need to do to make run and get home. Don't care about AC or anything extra just running to get home.
Also if there is anyone in the Oklahoma City Area that can help me get my El Camino going. I'll buy whatever parts I need then I will be willing to give up an 01 ZX11 motorcycle just for the help. I have the starter on the way and the will run no problem.
