83 El Camino Front Suspension Upgrade

Hey All, sorry for the delay, I know it's been a while. Part of the reason is because I finally got the QA1 front suspension installed! It took quite a while and was a huge learning process, but all in all I'm happy with the results. Take a look for yourself.

Hey man. I’ve got an 84 El Camino with a 5.3 and a 650 brawler on it also. I’m having a problem with fuel. What jets do you have in your carburetor? Love the build

[@av8bud]

Thanks man, great job...If i remember right, from the factory it comes with 76 jets and i believe the dyno shop stepped it down to a 69 or 68. (running too rich, for safety from the factory)...honestly though i may put some bigger jets in it, because it runs a little rough when its cold. you can get various jet kits from Jeg's if you feel like changing them yourself.

How much was that sit up ?

[@av8bud]

for the complete kit (front and back) I got it for just under 2k

So how’s the ride and handling now?

[@av8bud]

Hey Randy, great question. I may do a quick video on this soon well see...its definitely a more sporty suspension now, rides like a newer car now so its a little stiff. you can adjust how it rides with the dial on the bottom, but even with the softest setting, its still a little tight. on the bright side, don't feel like i'm going to lose control of it anymore.

Thanks for the informative video’s. I’ve not begun my Camino build yet and I’m hungry for any information available. Looking forward to your continued sharing of your project.
