Default 89' Camaro RS V6

I bought my camaro about 2 weeks ago for 900 buckz.

it needs a new ignition Distributor and i seen 1 at rockauto.com for $130.

beats autozone for $150.

the car is a work in progress hoping to have it running strong.

Looks like it's in decent shape. No clear-coat blistering? You're lucky!
Does the $130 distributor at rockauto include shipping?

yea with shipping it is 130 even at rockauto. I still have to install the oxygen sensor, fix the timing and put in new valve cover gaskets.

awwww.....that lil 6 looks so cute in there. 8-p

Great find for 900 bucks. I enlisted in 91, buddy of mine I was stationed with had that very same car. We were all jealous that a 18 year old kid had a 2 year old Camaro!

i gotta problem here...not sure if its major.
2 arrows up top are pointing out the line that is just dangling there. not sure where it goes. not sure if its electrical or vacuum line because the end gradually seals off. its around the area where the transmission fluid goes as you can see by the dip stick.

let me go out to my engine bay tomorrow and I'll figure out for you where that line goes. I can't really tell from the pic, show me a close up of whichever end of that tube is still connected to

i have better pics of the vacuum line i have a problem with. Its sucking in air.
The Red wire goes down and above it is the 2 black vacuum lines. The line to the Left is not connected.
The line to the right connects above the engine block.
