Hello all!
It's great to find there's so many elcamino enthuasists here.
I have a 1984 white El camino with 305cid and 350TH. I have had this car since 1989 when it was brought to this cold country from sunny Monterey in California (wasn't brought by myself. I bought it from customs officer). This car might have been owned by army earlier, as it has in it's bumbers, ( rear and front ) labels that says department of defence, Fort Ord, CA.
I have done work with it's headers last fall, and as this car is my hobby, i haven't been busy with installation. Anyway now I've been working with installation, but as every peace wasn't properly marked i'm a little lost with some connections. That's why I'm asking from you, if some one of you would have 1983/4 camino with 305 in it's original or almost original condition.
Would you please send me some pictures from under your camino's hood. Especially pictures from surroundings of power steering's oil can, pictures from behind and front of carburator, those PCV attachments and from right hand side of engine when looked at front of car, would be appreciated.

Best regards

Welcome to ECC.

It sounds like your El Camino was owned by someone who was in the Army and stationed in Fort Ord, CA. The labels were probably the passes to allow them to drive onto the Army base. Maybe they were transfered to Europe and they brought the El Camino with them when they moved. It's interesting how a California El Camino could make it to Finland.
