LS Swapped El Camino or is it?

LS Swapped El Camino or is it? Tune in to see one of GM’s rarities and we’re going to fox a few minor problems on this clean 80’s car, truck, crossover, idk they were odd but cool. Over personally always liked the El Camino.

If you remove the smog pump and all the smog stuff plus the air conditioner you can actually work on it. I did 😎👍

[@YellowJacketGarage]

I knew you were out galavanting across west Texas with your roving band of hooligans.🤣 Great project, thanks for sharing!

[@JWsGarage]

We sure were. Then I got home and Covid 👎 only a couple days down but ugh.
Always had a soft spot for the El Camino myself esp 66-67 skinny B pillar models.

@@JWsGarage my mom had a 66 and a 70 at different points in my childhood, I'd love to have either one of them to this day. A 60/70's Elco and a 70s chevy van would be an awesome pair to own.

@@YellowJacketGarage I’m loving seeing the 70’s era vans making a comeback and the elaborate paint jobs.

[@YellowJacketGarage]

@@JWsGarage me too, I like that old stuff that's easy to work on.

[@papergatorzfedducca7998]

I have a 81 Caballero and would you happen to have wiring diagram for the factory wiring to the LS harness.

[@JWsGarage]

I don’t sorry. But I’ll save you the hassle, Order a kit now days it’s not worth the time and massive headache of wiring the two together, way easier and much faster with a kit.
What kinda Hp you looking for?

[@colemcmeans7809]

ive been wondering what happened to you. thats wild on that alternator, i feel like i need to check mine a bit closer now.

[@JWsGarage]

Just taking a break is all. You know how it is.

[@micquealbrooks9914]

That's cool

[@JWsGarage]

It’s coming back to the garage here soon for some service work. We’ll make another video on it for sure.

[@matthewchavez3567]
