no the engines not stock its got a cam, pistons, 700carb, rollers, timing gears, msd, headers...the guy didn't really tell me what cam is in it or brands of anything but i think he might have said that the it was ported and polished at one point...and the msd isn't hooked up thats one of the things on my list that i have to figure out how to do lol...

Go to MSD's web site and download a diagram of the wiring for your model. That should help.
Nice Camaro!

Congrats. So you decided to get the white one huh, did you check out the burgundy one at all? Whereabouts do you live in Ontario?

^^ I thought I liked that car, voted for it.^^

I bought a deal from msd with my first distributer that went in the hei cap and had a post to hook a blaster coil to. It was the coolest way I have seen to hook up a msd to a stock dizzy.

Either way you still have a nice ride, you gonna put some Z stripes on there? i like the blue stripes on white but i seen the black and that looks sharp too, not to font of the red on white though. I live in Cornwall, right at the CA/US border
