    how did you delete the smog pump i am new to this

    • @roadhardrestorations
      @roadhardrestorations วันที่ผ่านมา

      The pump was already deleted when I got it. There is a small round hole under each exhaust port that you have to plug up. The rest of the system simply gets unbolted and removed.

    That looks real good. Standard fastener only needs 5 to 6 threads of capture to make the torque

    If you blast thru the casting. The easy fix will be JB weld from the inside. Grease the bolt thread so it will not stick. Then give it the JB weld from the inside. Get the 2 part stick that cures in 5 minutes. Its drillable and machinable. Water tight repair.

    My best friend for life had an identical Camaro as his first car. Only difference was his was a small block car, with old school bigs-n-littles, slot mags. First true hotrod I'd ever ridden in. He long ago sold it,,and now he's gone too, but they both gave me the bug for life. I pulled a 69 Chevelle out of a junkyard when i was 16 and totally rebuilt it from ground up over the years. I still have it today, and just got it back on the road after sitting in my front yard for over 20 yrs. Only, this time around it has a LS engine with the fuel injection and all the electronics and overdrive trans. Still drives beautifully! Thank you for this video,brought back so many memories of my childhood!

      Quadra-jets are infamous for having the plug at the bottom of the fuel bowl work loose and dowsing the engine with gasoline - possibly causing fires. The fix was to epoxy in the plug.

    You know you could take the AC compressor loose so you can make more room for your hands since you took all the belts off. Good video. Yes upgrade to disc brakes for safety also I would install sway bars too if it does not have them, again for safety purpose. If I had that Camaro I would sell it and get a Firebird or a Cuda, maybe a GTO or Road Runner.

    • @roadhardrestorations
