Ignition Problems
Submitted by Lawrence on Sun, 28/10/2007 - 00:00The Camaro has been doing 90 miles a day taking me to work and back without too much hassle, apart from when we had a week or so of freak weather and it was raining so heavily it was a struggle to drive at 30mph on the motorway. The car got so wet that the optispark distributor got soaked and was misfiring and popping through the exhaust. It cleared up once it dried out a bit but it's had an occasional miss ever since.
New Engine
Submitted by Lawrence on Sun, 25/02/2007 - 00:00I'd bought a complete Camaro LT1 and 4L60-E off ebay a few years ago and planned to freshen it and replace the Impala one. I got Zane to strip and check it and he found no problems so I ordered up a full set of gaskets and a beefier cam and he rebuilt it ready to swap in. While he had the car I got him to make a new exhaust system for it in stainless and subframe connectors to stiffen the car up. The new exhaust gave me loads more clearance so I can now get over at least some speed bumps.
