    Hi all! I am a paying member, but set this up, as I can't get into my regular account for some reason!

    When i turn on the headlights they stay on for a second then go out. There was a burning smell right before is happened, so i thought is was the headlight switch but that didn't fix it.

  8. Electrical Systems
    I'm new to El Camino Central and do not know a lot about electrical systems in cars or cars in general. I have owned my '82 El Camino for 2 1/2 years now. When I bought the cruck I replaced the battery, alternator and starter. For the 5 months I have had electrical issues. My volts light on the...

    I have an '82, all the gauges (except gas and speedo) are dumby ones. I went ahead and bought oil pressure/volt/water temp/tachometer gauges. I have not put them in yet. But then I was at the junk yard the other day and a saw an el camino with gauges that actually give you information. So, my...
