Would anyone have any idea where I could purchase a "Choke Set" for a 68 Camaro L6 250? To clarify what I'm looking for it would be similar to what is in the following link.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your help.

I have been searching and can not find what the proper torque to apply when installing spark plugs on my L6

I like the Redline tires but had them off to replace the brakes and decided to see how she would look with some BFG's RTA's mounted on some Cragar/SS rims.

What do you guys think?

I really like the white stripe down the side.

Was it only in 69 that the offered that? I'm assuming its original, and if not I still like it.

  I looked at mine and I see the knockouts (not to be confused with the Wittek Noc-Outs  ) are still in.

OK Mike that's nicer than mine, for you to still have them in the keys.

I may have to try and hammer mine back in (just kidding)

Is anyone from her going to the Daytona Turkey Run next week?

I tried to register today for the Car Corral so I could sell my 69 Firebird, only to find out that they sold out the 1900 spots they had.

With the Corral sold out I was luck enough to get a spot where the vendors setup for $140 instead of the $130 for the car corral.

There looks like there are 82 first gen Camaros registered for the car show portion. Are any of them you?

I'll be sure and take a lot of pictures and post a link when I get back.

Not thinking twice what the gas to drive a 6 cylinder for me just adds to the fun.

At this moment I also have a 69 Firebird (4-Sale) with a 350 that sucks gas, which is why I was on the hunt for a 68 Six.

I would rather enjoy driving a Six every-day rather than a car that I can only afford to drive on the weekends because of the fuel consumption.   

I suspect it is rare to have a set of Key Plugs that I believe came from the original keys?

I suspected I might get that advice, but I also drive a Harley and sometimes here in the Flordia summer it's just frigging too hot to even drive it. But this is my first convertible so I guess time will tell.

May I ask what your thoughts are in installing a Vintage Air system on a car with a straight six? Will it cause the engine to strain every time it kicks in? Could it require a larger radiator so that it dose not over heat?

My car is in such original condition part of me thinks I should not modify it but the other part of me knows what it will be like in the middle of the summer her in SW Florida without AC.

Hey Guys,

Though I would share my new baby girl, her name is Dorothy named after my mom that helped me pick up my first 68 Camaro some 30 years ago.

I was on a mission to find a 68 Camaro with a straight six in her and at the time I could only find two for sale in the whole country, so my wife and I drove 900 miles from SW Florida to Florence Alabama for her and then I drove her back. I was a little concerned about the ride back, not really knowing what the true mechanical condition of the car was, and this is why my wife went along just in-case we had to tow her back. Well that was not the case, she ran great and easily cruised at 70-80 MPH. I was so excited about driving her that I kept forgetting to keep track of the mileage, what I did notice though that it seemed I was getting a good 200+ miles before the needle got half way down. Not sure if that's a good gauge as I suspect some cars once they pass that half way point the needle moves a little faster?

Herr are a few pics.
