Hey car peoples, just a new guy here saying yo. I got me a 84 G-body Chevy El Camino, added the motor, transmission, and lots of other parts to complete it. I don't have smog components, and i need to gather them all. I hope since i got the 305ci vs the 350ci that it will require less hoses/parts, ect. I also own a 98 GMC Suburban 4x4 K2500 with the 454ci 7.4L. I am also rebuilding it, but i at times have issues with the built in autotheft. Any how as i live in California, smog laws are harsh. Looks like this site is an active one, hope to spend some time chatting with members here.
Yippee Ki Yey !

Lex,
Welcome. Post some pics of your ride. I have an 84 camino that I finished halfway and had to stop when I transferred overseas for work for three years. It is still stock under the hood so I can send pics of what I have if you need. I don't think I need pollution stuff down here because of the age of the car. If not, I may be able to help you out with some of what you need.

You can hard wire a resistor in the Suburban to bypass the ignition tumbler sensor to fool the VATS into starting. It could also be a bad BCM. I've been battling my 02 Silverado for years!
