No issue here respect Williams opinion!
Don't ask if you don't want to know right?
 

Thats odd. Not sure anyone was restamping stuff in the 90's but who knows?

Maybe its just a 6 cyl  car that should be hot rodded/color changed then.

 No one here trying to pass off this car as anything more than a base Camaro re-engined to a big block.
Must admit when you first see it with a big block and the rear end and engine dates are lining up you think it might be a COPO but not to be all that is just coincidence.
I'm more interested as to what the car was originally. If its a 396 big block car or anything else he's at the point where maybe it needs to be repainted as original Frost green. Not many around especially an RS flat hood car. Could have been an SS so who knows. Fun is in the detective work to see what it might have been.
I'll post more so he's got an idea before it goes off to paint and decisions need be made. He's got all the original parts on the shelf and its a very nice rust free Cali car. Saw the 3/8's fuel line and e few other things that make you wonder.

Guarantee its not a restamp that block was rebuilt in the 90's its been on the stand since then.
I think its a transplant from a Biscayne/Impala as the original was long gone then. I dont have my Chevrolet by the numbers book handy but I think Biscayne, anyone have Alan Colvin's book handy?. I'll post more pics yet but haven't reviewed the VIN at the filter and will post pics.
Its got aluminum big port winters foundry heads the builder put on there back in the 90's when such things were available. Im trying to fire what the car originally came with as I'm sure this a transplant. Its got 4 bolt mains and an aluminum intake which haven't had time to put down details on that either.

A little background
It's a very nice shape car my friend is sending to paint was frost green and front valance shows original white stripes he wants to change colors to resale red
Car has 3/8 fuel line and appears to be an original big block with the 512 block shown.
I will dig into more detail but saw the block and am wondering is it an original 396/375hp or else, I'll post details and more pics next visit review has a BS post 12 bolt BS0321G2 rear. RS package march built didn't take a cowl pic and will post. WT stamped master and he says M22 got me curious as to what it is more to follow

So what do you think about this one?

This look right?

Replacing my lower radiator hose and noticed it can be installed either way. Which end goes to the pump?
I'll post a pic or two but can't find any good pics. Its a repop hose I bought from Pacecar Jeff.

Kurt humbled by you and the Team who make it happen, good job!
I have just begun going through them.

I have a Penske battery style unit that I tried a couple of times to calibrate and use, seem to remember it was very inaccurate.
Could not find replacement parts for the tailpipe sensor.
Gave up on the idea and welded bungs on both sides running a dual wideband. Super accurate and easy to tune with.

C. Nice car very original! My buddy in High School had one just like it!
As for that seat I believe I would try and repair, a good competent interior shop could do that.
Beautiful car that just needs driven!

Here's an original one on ebay; https://www.ebay.com/itm/114980534283?fits=Make%3AChevrolet&hash=item1ac55fb80b:g:HgEAAOSwdo5f9LMa

So Danny is that your trailer its hooked up to? Did you buy it?

Love the Trans Am and have driven a RA IV one. Would definitely take the Trans Am. I remember the variable ratio steering being exceptionally quick, the car being very neutral & responsive, as compared to my 69 SS Camaro. Have not driven an Eliminator but have seen a few up close, one was here in town for a very long time but haven't seen it in years. Nice looking cars but the Trans Am had torque and handled very well.

Hank;
Seems some vehicles have a problem with a breakerless without a filter? See here; http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=8132.0. I like the stock points plus its way easier to set them up on my Sun distributor machine with points. I don't have the set-up for breakerless for my distributor machine.
