I was on the message board sometime last year about fixing up my 1979 berlinetta camaro(305 5.0 L v8- with little power)but being in school I haven't had a chance to get started.I know little to none about cars.It runs ok and just got a new paint job and recovered the seats. I love the looks of the outside of the car, but some of the things under the hood and the suspension etc... is questionable for me. If anybody has some recommendations about switching from a carburetor to a fuel injection and whether or not it is a good idea. Also every single hole I hit, it feels like an earthquake-would a new suspension solve this problem or is it just the car in general? I want to get these things all worked out before worrying about putting in a new engine or adding some more power. Thanks if you can help because as you can see I dont have a clue what im doing

 

Fuel injection will give You better gas mileage on average. Quit hitting holes! seriously, It might only need new shocks, who knows?

 

If you got the money for fuel injection and it is pretty much stock, go for it. You could make that car your daily driver. The suspension if it's original, I'd say it'd be time for an overhaul.
