ABANDONED 1979 Z28 Camaro - Will it RUN BETTER after a Carb Rebuild and a Tune Up?

[@johnnybravo7733]

Newly rebuilt quadrajunk - 30hp. AC compressor delete - 10hp gain. New plug wires - 10hp New spark plugs - 10hp New rotor and cap - 30hp Damn, you need to order a set of new rear tires immediately because they will be spinning ( don’t forget to film that as well )

[@LyonRacing24]

lol I plan on taking it to my “closed corse” as soon as I get the brakes done. I have all the hoses just need a few more parts to make a full video. The first weekend off so I had a million other things to do lol thanks for watching bud!

[@johnnybravo7733]

@@LyonRacing24 I know the feeling. The sun is warming up here and absolutely nothing has been done during the winter so I am way behind. About to get my motorcycle started so I have a cheap daily. Next weekend will be Camaro time for the first time this year

@LyonRacing24 I am glad I found your channel, this is the car I found your channel on, and I am now a subscriber, keep up the good work.

[@LyonRacing24]

Heck yeah thanks for watching and the support man!

[@booterbutler3693]

About time man! I was about to call your work and tell them you can't work 12's anymore because I needed a video.

[@LyonRacing24]

lol man If that would work that would have been awesome. Thanks for watching and the support bud!

[@robertwest3093]

It warms my heart to see that you are sticking with the Quadrajet 👍🏻👍🏻 I’ve tried them all and the Qjet is always my choice. I’m sure that smogger Qjet could use some richer primary jets and secondary rods.

[@LyonRacing24]

Heck yeah thanks for watching man!

[@robertwest3093]

I still can’t believe you found a 1979 4 speed Z/28! I can count the number of those I’ve seen in person on one hand 👌

[@LyonRacing24]

Yeah man it needs alot of work but it was definitely a lucky find!

[@HustlehousePA1978]

Another good one! We were about to ask when the next videa was coming and there it was! Keep em comming bud, Looking forward to some hotrod golf cart action!

[@LyonRacing24]

thankyou sir! I hope the golfcart runs lol I really bought it for the wife/kids so they can get the mail and take the trash to the road lol im sure eventually we will hotrod it, but the engine is stuck per the usual for me. I filled it full of the old mystery oil yesterday maybe it will work its magic over a week. thanks for watching bud!

[@Nreeder25]

my old quadrajunk was completely broken when i bought the car. Frankensteind it together with a welder and it has been "working" without secondarys for the past 2 years that i have been daily driving the thing. last week a finally picked up a used holy 650 with an intake off marketplace for a couple bucks so that is about to liven the thing up.

[@LyonRacing24]

Man that new carb is gonna make it feel like you have a brand new car lol I’m going to do the exact same thing here soon. I want to get away from the OG setup and have the Qjunk for a spare on another will it run one day. There are a few deals on marketplace right now and I have a victor jr laying around somewhere lol thanks for watching bud!

[@DirtSweatGears]

I am actually going to start doing some of the same stuff TOMORROW. But since my Camaro didn't want to run, I need to do more teardown before I start buying parts. I'm really happy to see you making progress on yours, I have to catch up! 😂

[@LyonRacing24]

Heck yeah man if we could only mix our cars together we would have something lol thanks for watching man.

[@robertwest3093]

It sounds like the mechanical advance in the HEI isn’t doing much. I bet if you check it out and get it right AND put some lighter springs in it that 350 will rev a LOT quicker 👍🏻

[@DJsBackup]

Ive been so excited to see the next video on the camaro! Who cares if you copy people, just have fun working on YOUR project car on YOUR youtube channel. Looking forward to the next video on this car!

[@LyonRacing24]

Heck yeah thanks man, got one in the works. Gathering some parts! Thanks for watching and the support man

[@DJsBackup]

@LyonRacing24 She's running great now! Just some brakes, a fuel pump, and some tires, and she will be back on the road in no time. Drums in the rear and discs in the front correct?

[@LyonRacing24]

@@DJsBackup yeah man disks in the front and drums in the back I have most of what I need to do the brakes. Shouldn’t be to much longer.

The only thing those late 70s sbc is missing is a good set of heads.....but having 4 speed does give a little more spice...looks good
