Looking Good Darren. That is motivation to finish mine....

Re: 70 L78 Camaro - Dialing in more originality
 

Darren,
It's looking great - let's see some more pics!

Re: 70 L78 Camaro - Dialing in more originality
 

Engine fired yesterday. Still have a few problems to sort out till I get it on the road. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

Sorry about the lack of pictures. Been difficult to shoot pics with so much going on .. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Re: 70 L78 Camaro - Dialing in more originality

Re: 70 L78 Camaro - Dialing in more originality
 

It has been running and nothing bad has happened. Phew! Mostly small stuff at this point but enough to keep me from driving it. Hoping to sort out real quick (this week) then with the weight lifted I can shoot a lot of pics.

Re: 70 L78 Camaro - Dialing in more originality
 

Good deal! It can be pita when you make a bunch of changes at once and it doesn't run right. You'll get it sorted out.

Re: 70 L78 Camaro - Dialing in more originality
 

Its pretty much ready. Just a few items to sort out and some fine tuning but it should be roadworthy now. Just need to wait for a break in the rain to get it out on the street. I have video of if running but it is too large for Photobucket. Trying to work around that..

New exhaust.

D...if you are using a Win XP(that's what I remember you having)...you should have Windows Movie Maker installed on your system...

Just load the file into it...and output it to a smaller file size (it's pretty self explanatory https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif).

Then you can load it up to Photobucket! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif


By the way...the Camaro looks bitchin! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Re: 70 L78 Camaro - Dialing in more originality
 

Sounds great (D),what exhaust system did you go with??

Re: 70 L78 Camaro - Dialing in more originality
 

Thanks guys.. The exhaust is a Parts Place system. Probably took about 2 hours to install it. Pretty much fit like a glove. As nice as it would have been, I couldn't really justify a Gardner system. At 1/3 of the cost I am pretty happy with what I have.

Re: 70 L78 Camaro - Dialing in more originality
 

Darren, Curious if you used Jack Seymours hangars (OEM repro) to support muffler and tailpipes ?????

Hey Darren Looking pretty sweet!!! Love to see more pic's or video's. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Are you using one of the 143 cams from Jim & Rob? Sounds nice! I bought one of these for my L78 also.....
I might tryout the same exhaust system that you used for my L34 car....

Scott, on the recommendation of my engine builder and blessing by my "go to guys" Jim and Rob I went with a Comp Cams 11-218-4.

Re: 70 L78 Camaro - Dialing in more originality
 

Darren, I completely understand and agree with you using this very acceptable alternative to GARDNER.

Does Parts Place make a small block version?? Will you show more pics of tailpipe detail and other shots.....

FYI.......Jack Seymour will be attending/judging at G.M.Carlisle, June 26-28th. Anybody attending and needing his exact repro 2nd Gen Camaro/Firebird hangars, suggest they contact him so he can bring your order.

Re: 70 L78 Camaro - Dialing in more originality
 

No problem I can do that. Parts Place has SB as well I believe.

Re: 70 L78 Camaro - Dialing in more originality
 

Had it on the road tonight and it runs well. Now I need to break it in so Lombard is in order for Saturday. It was a great feeling to get behind the wheel after all the work and help from some great friends. My thanks to John P. and Steve at D&R, I couldn't have done it without you guys. I promise more detail pics to come as the pics I took tonight with flash didn't turn out so well.

Re: 70 L78 Camaro - Dialing in more originality
 

Awesome D!

Re: 70 L78 Camaro - Dialing in more originality
 

I have a family thing this Saturday night or I would definitely make the pilgrimage to Lombard https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif
