Hey everyone! New member here, though not yet a Camaro owner � but that's exactly why I'm here. I've got my eye on a 5th Gen (want the black or the white one) and I'm in the research and dreaming phase, soaking up everything I can before I make the jump.

Glad to be here and learn! :)

Hi from Ukraine

Hi everyone! Tired enough from crazy times here - freshly obtained a project to wrench on. A '94 Z28 Auto T-Top Camaro, with the body replaced by a '97 one. Not many people in my country who have a clue on this cars (if any), so, having high hopes on your community. Will be glad to maybe add to the common knowledge with the time.
More on the car: bacause of the mixture of a catfish body over the '94 "under the hood" and drivetrain I'm now messing around identification of what the previuous owned did put together. Definitely A/C parts mixed up (already in progress to get it right), but will need your help with identifying the year and type of the brakes in the car (there is a probability it's a system from 3,8 car, will post pics in a saparate post, appreciate help). The rest seems "healthy" so far, the girl is tail-happy, shifts good :) Has a cool leather interior with inflatable side-support seats, pleasant lighting upgrades (black and white all-LED side markers, turns, LED-lensed high and low beams etc). Needs care on cooling system. Had completely rotten inoperational radiator cap, temporarily replaced by a new one, but still behaves weirdly. The proper OEM cap is on the way, but by now the car pushes coolant into reservoire and is not sucking it back into radiator. I suspect the cap is the reason, can it be?. Hopefully not a blown head-gasket. It really raises coolant level in the reservoire and gets low level in the radiator every time i drive it even a little, like a one-way pump :) I have attampted to burp the air from the system with the raised front, even ran it with thermostat open, heater on, and fluid container with higher-levelled coolant amount put in place of radiator cap, but it still pumps coolant one way only into the catch-can. I suspect main sealing surface of the radiator cap is "weak contact", as the pressure spring is having enough tention as i put the cap on. Will soon see what a proper cap does to it.
Some pics attached

New Member - 1979 Camaro owner

Hello everyone,
My name is Adam and I just became a 1979 Camaro owner. I've been wanting a late 70s Trans am or Camaro for years and finally got my hands on one. Its got a 4 speed and posi and has a 305 sbc with aluminum heads and intake. When I had it delivered from Ontario to me in Saskatchewan and it was running, but needed some love. I had it at a shop in town that looks at classic cars and muscle cars. The quadrajet 4 barrel carburetor needed a complete overhaul, cleaning, rebuild and tune. Loving the car, it has a bit of a shudder in first gear, not sure if it's the clutch or fly wall or combination of both.
