Need opinions on my spark plugs , rich,lean, or just right? It was running rich and I just put 5 gallons of Cam2 in it and seems to be running great. The plugs were fouled before the Cam2. Previous to Cam2 I ran 93 octane gas.

Lynn, that's the set up I currently have , a repo battery, but it only had a 400 cca battery inside (surprised it had enough power to crank it over when it was cold out) but I'm on the fence as I'd like to have a battery with 700 to 800 cca's. Does the Braille battery have enough power. I read the specs and they advertised 550 cca

My old reproduction battery is just about done. I have seen some guys used toppers over newer batteries and had good luck . I want to keep the original look to the battery and I want something reliable. Just wondered what tips you guys might have.

Danny I was having very similar condition on my 4150 carb. It sounds like a vacuum problem. Mine turned out to be caused by my power brake booster, it had a bad front cup seal.

I need to replace the rubber seal that goes on the front of the power brake booster (directly behind the master cylinder). Does anyone know where I can find this part?

It turns out the owner passed away and the family is selling his cars , 2 El Caminos and 1 Camaro. I  don't think the family knew much about the cars. I  passed on the info from the members to him, thanks guys.

I have a friend looking at a 67 Camaro. The seller claims it is a real Z28, I'm attaching a picture of the trim tag and one of the car. I did do some decoding of the tag and it looks like it came with a 3-speed floor shifter for M15 or M13 ( 2B ). I not familiar with the 67 trim tag and  I was wondering what you guys think of this tag.

As I mentioned in a prior post I'm not sure I'm reading the guage correctly,  I tried to post a picture of the guage but the file is to large. There is two sets of numbers on the guage, the outside number  reads 20 , the inside number reads 8. Apparently I read it wrong. The car is all stock and I've owned it for 32 years
