I got the Z28 out yesterday and cleaned it up and I'm going to enter it in a few shows this summer.
Anyway I tooks some pics!

 

I didn't know you had a camaro, what year is it, like a 78' or so? It's amazing how much like a trans-am they look you know? Especially yours, it looks like a bandit edition almost. It looks good. I miss my Z sometimes.....

 

Well its not mine per se, its my Dad's, but I'm the only one who drives it, fills it up with gas, and washes it.
Its an 81 Camaro. It needs transmission work. I'm pretty sure I've narrowed it down to the modulator valve... but anyway heres the stats on it:

350 V8 bored 20 overduring rebuild
High comp pistons
mild cam
Holley lo-pro carb (to fit under cowl)
373 rear-end gears... stock was 308s
True air induction



I just filled it up with 93 octane and I won't tell you how much I paid.... but I painfully paid. Gotta pay to play I guess....

 

Yea, that was the down side, 93 octane. Last time I had my camaro I remember I had to pay like $3 for 93, so i'm glad I don't have it now. I'm guessing you paid around $3.79?

I'm also guessing you have a TH350 tranny. What is the tranny doing that it acts weird?

 

Yeah its a TH350. When it trys to shift into second, it bogs down and I have to kick it to get it to come out from bogging down. It shifts fine into drive, but when I let off it drops back down into 2nd.

I paid $3.86 for the gas.

 

I really don't know much about transmissions, but the modulator valve is externally mounted isn't it? And isn't it vaccum actuated?

$3.86 is just un american in my opinion. The sad thing is, it's only gonna get worse before it gets any better... ya know

 

Yes. I havent gotten a chance to put it on a lift, but I did check the vacuum lines and they all seem to be intact.

Thats not the worse.... I heard that barrels of crude are soon going to shoot up to $200 a barrel and we will be paying $5-$7 a gallon within the next two years, but don't get too uptight, it wasn't a reliable source that I heard it from.
