I don't agree. All he did was nothing but kludge. The breaks, are still bad, the injectors probably still needs to replaced, and the converter surely was originally built in for no reason - sorry, this has nothing to do with a decent repair. This is something you do to make it somehow to the next garage. The Camaro is a nice and iconic car and doesn't seem to be in an irreparable state but it need some time and money to come back to life. In the current state, the car is not roadworthy.

If your throttle ever sticks like that, just turn the key off. I had a 74 Torino when I was 16 and had the throttle linkage of the carb get caught on the air filter when I floored it showing off to friends. Tried slapping the gas peddle a few times and then just turned the key off. I rode a lot of 4 wheelers and dirt bikes with kill switches so that was kindof helped to make my first instinct to kill the ignition.

Yea, i agree. Seems like a bit Too much Prop. Needs more revs then secondarys will open. Carb is a Little big though for a stock motor & stock intake. options --- 1) Decrease the Pitch on the Prop or 2) Put a High Rise intake on it & that may get u the intake air speed to open the secondary's. 3) Change the carb to a Quadra jet - i think this is best option.
@karlkoenigstein41382 ай бұрын
@@OcRefrig I think you’re correct. 3000 rpm, even on a big Cadillac, is probably just getting to the point where the secondaries would need to open (I.e. primaries alone are enough at that RPM). I think I heard the engine bogging when Chris opened the secondary blades manually, an indication that the engine doesn’t really need them yet. I think a Q-jet or a vacuum secondary spread-bore Holley would probably work better with the current setup. Also agree that a deeper pitched prop (like more rear gear) would allow the engine to rev a bit higher and might result in more overall top speed. The counter point is that Cadillacs are torquey and like to grunt against the gears, so maybe the setup is actually not so far from ideal….

I'm very familiar with the ubiquitous 3rd gen as back in 1990 I purchased an '84 that had been involved in a front end collision that had pretty much trashed the entire front end and sub frame for $500. I proceeded to rebuild it better stronger faster. Spliced in new front sub frame and hung new fenders and louvered hood on it. Added rear window louvers, IROC frt/rr bumper covers and side skirts, IROC badging and IROC wheels. Factory suspension goodies such as: 36mm hollow front stabilizer bar, front sub frame brace(wonder bar). Quick ratio steering sector(z575). Factory PBR rear disc's, 3:23 posi and the icing on the cake, an '85 TPI 305 I built to '92 spec with a built 700r4. Loved that car.

Your story about slamming it in reverse at speed reminded me: Years ago I was driving an 18ft cab over type box truck down a country road at about 55mph, my 2 coworkers next to me were just out of high school and would get anxious on long trips and start being annoying. The guy in the middle would get up and turn around in the cab kind of dancing or antsy spaz. That day he decided to do just that and knocked the shifter into reverse at 55mph, fastest deceleration of my life into an Instant stop almost featuring huge blue cloud of rubber smoke (and probable transmission fluid) along with a sound I cannot describe like a screaming machinery banshee and burnout sound. I looked over at that kid and said "If this truck doesn't go into drive and shift all the gears, you're calling the owner of the company (who was a real hothead) Anyway, excellent videos-I never miss them

Glad you asked: We got out in the middle of this 2 lane road and examined the engine and trans area real quickly and only noted a fine mist of trans fluid which was bizarre, got back in quickly as I was blocking a lane on a 55mph road (albeit seldom travelled) Threw it into drive and away we went, everything seeming good and all gears. The followup though: a couple weeks later that trans catastrophically failed in epic fashion on the highway. That kid was my buddy and a hard as worker on a tough job so I never told the owner, and that truck was never right after that either as I dropped 7 more transmissions over the next few more years I drove it.

I had an 88 IROC Z, it was like a copper red color. It had a 350 TPI! Really my that car. Could not maintain it anymore so I traded for an 84 Toyota Supra Celica. In line 6, 5 speed! That was an awesome car too.

Always a good morning waking up to find another NNKH post. Your mechanic abilities are simple and straight forward with no BS, appreciate you showing all the miscues also. (ie: getting shocked!...lol), Keeping your home life private is the right decision. No one needs to know that. Keep up the great content and be safe. You have a daughter; she's depending on you to be around for a while! Peace!

To release the red convertible tonneau top cover you should release the back of the rear seat (fold her forward) release handle is on the passenger side and the find both tiny black metal cables on both sides of the car to release the tonneau top cover. No electric release is necessary. This is basically the back up system in case the electric release don't work.

In my 15+ years of working on cars, I’ve never heard of those injector rejuvenation tips that you’ve displayed here. I’ve always used heat to fix/manipulate things that were stubborn. Never in a hundred years, I would’ve ever guessed using extreme cold would make things work in your favor. You have my respect sir. Keep up the good work!

Man one of the best barn find back to life videos I've seen. Glad I subbed awhile ago and saw you pop up on my feed. I live in Washington state now but grew up in Philly and in high school in the 90's I would go watch the street races down in south Philly and man those Iroc's were everywhere! Brought back memories. Awesome job and congrats on the baby!

My dad had a 87-89 Camaro when I was a kid and I have always loved them for that reason. Have always wanted to have one someday
