Default This car is killing me

hey there everyone i just bought my first camaro (im 17) a couple weeks ago. its a 94 with a 3.4 (5-speed if it makes a difference) and its been driving me up the wall. when i got it it had a nasty lifter tick (6 of em were toast and it still ran and drove thank god its a chevy) so i bought new lifters and gaskets and threw em in bolted it all up and it wouldnt start. .... ok so no where in my haynes manual did it say to soak the new hydraulic lifters in oil prior to installation so i took it apart again and re set up the lifters. now my neighbor decided to help me take the dang motor apart by pulling out all my plugs for the pvc and maf and such and i dont know where they go. so does anyone have any good pics where all these wires go.....and anyone know were i can get new RS and camaro decals for the side of the car as the PO painted the car and covered the decals if anyone could help me i would be most thankful

the conections are different shapes so the plugins will only go in the right place. look at them and make sure they look like they go in the hole, then count the prongs and look at the shape of em to be sure they match the other then plug them in.

You have any idea what you are talking about? The '94 was a 3.4. GMD was just saying that the RS package wasn't offered til '96 (which was a 3.8). So yeah, it probably is the original engine.
