Hello I am trying to find an ignition switch for my 66 el that will plug into the attached picture. I have found some that say they are compatible but the male connections are in a totally different pattern. Has anyone had any luck finding one or has anyone made “pigtails” to run from the OEM...

1979 elcamino won’t start has power the headlights and horn but no power to ignition switch. Put on new headers and might have shorted something out. Fuseable links and fuses all good... thanks in advance

Pretty sure this is a softball... I've got a 72' El Camino with a 350 & Quadrajet carb. It runs great but when it's cold it's verrrry slow to start. I turn the key and it starts turning over... and keeps turning over... sometimes for 5 or 6 seconds. I've noticed that if I pump the gas once it...

I have a question pertaining to "The Control Computer", the one I have is stock, the engine is a Jeg's 350/400+ HP. I have restored all the wiring to stock (both under the hood and dash), I drove the Elky to its current location and it ran like cr*p. The interior is not yet reinstalled and I am...

So we finally got a warm day here in Ohio so I pulled the car outside and fired it up. Let it warm then I shut it down and went in the house for a bit. When I came back a few hours later I started it, and when it fired up the starter was still engaged and turning is I killed the ignition and the...

So I've got an MSD 6al box, and an MSD Distributor and coil. The MSD box itself is hooked up and should be just dandy. My question is how do I wire up my ignition switch/starter/alternator? I've got the switched signal going to the MSD box, but what connects from the ignition switch to the...

Started my caballero for the first time in a about a month the other day and it would run fine until I took the choke off and than it would run really rich and lightly backfire but I reved it to keep it running and it backfired like as loud as shotgun so I shut it down. For some reason I don't...

I'm experiencing a bog when I quickly put my foot to the floor. If I ease into WOT it's fine. I'm sure it's not a timing issue anymore because when ny timing was off it would backfire through the carb too but doesn't anymore. The carb is a 650 edelbrock. The only thing I can think if is I need a...

78 Caballero -- 350v8 -- stock Have been driving as daily use car. No issues. Stopped at the house, ran inside for about 5 minutes, came back out and turned the ignition switch --- nothing. No click. No starer solenoid engagement. None of the gauges move. Nothing that requires ignition...

It started in my friends drive way. All of a sudden when I was trying to leave; the key turns freely in the ignition. Electrical systems work but there is no click or resistance to turning the key. Took some stuff apart, put it back together and now it is stuck in Park and reverse. Can't move...

I have a sb 350 that I am going to put into my 1984 Caballero. It is completely disassembled and the only part I don't have is the crankshaft. I was wondering if anyone could recommend any things that I should consider when rebuilding this and any other upgrades I should do to create alot of...

As some of you may have read before, I am trying to work the bugs out of my 83 El Camino's engine. I have a late '86 Corvette 350 with aluminum cylinder heads with my factory computer feedback carburetor system installed. I am running stock 83 aluminum intake, a High Energy Comp Cam(p/n...

Hey everybody, I have a 85 el camino with a stock 305 5.0l v8 automatic. So far I have been trying to teach myself about cars so i have been working on this. So the problem is that when i turn the ignition, there is a very fast repetitive clicking noise. i originally thought it was the...

I recently added headers, dual exhaust and a new intake manifold to my 84 Caballero and when I removed the distributor I forgot to mark its position. I have tried many times to get the engine at TDC and have positioned the oil pump shaft to be aligned with the 1st cylinder position on the...

My 83 SS has an 86 350 in it with 87 aluminum vette heads and a mild cam from comp. In an attempt to get some fuel economy out of the motor I re-installed the computer feedback carburetor system on the car. I have not installed the EGR valve, smog pump, or EFE system because the engine does...
