BTW; you might want to take that "Ford" Caution sticker off of the radiator shroud.
Chevrolet never used those on Camaro's.

Very cool, did you happen to fire it up?

I'm not sure on this, is this a 302 motor in your car?

Not too long ago I gave away an Holley R-4053 DZ carb to my engne builder. I held on to it just because of the "DZ" stampings on the choke horn but got tired of it taking up space.

I think I need to replace the ignition coil, it was arcing through the tower. I set my distributor at top dead center and checked my firing order but nothing. I even checked all the plug wires and theyre getting spark. It tries to start but it doesnt want to fire up, like it will pop but it wont run. But yes it is a 302 car. But wow thats a rare part lol, you should have kept it.

UPDATE: She lives! I figured out the cam was advanced 20 or so degrees so after fixing that and resetting the timing she starts right up

Below is the only video I took, I'm too lazy to put it on youtube :P

Well I reused the same oil pan gasket when I put it back together (note to self: replace it) and it leaked really bad under the timing cover. Ill fine tune it tomorrow, but I think the idle mixture screws need the o-rings replaced, because adjusting them didnt do much. I'm having trouble bringing it to 8* at idle, right now its at about 10
