I have a 1984 El Camino that someone prior to me swapped the engine from 305 cu in to a Jegs 355 cu in/375 hp bolted to a Turbo 350 Trans. I need to pass Cal/Smog. The wiring has been restored to original, both under the hood and dash (some tweeker had added all kinds of ??????). It has stock...

I've had my 84' Camino for a little while now but have never progressed past exterior upgrades (like a paint job). Since making a cross country trip I'm without any of the mechanics I trusted before and am now at the point where I want to give my elky a healthy upgrade, mostly in overall...

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...
