Guys,

One more doubt. I want to know this time if 74 - 75 Camaros (2nd gen) have EGR and HEI? And what is these things, what they do in the car?

Thanks Marcelo

HEI is High Energy Ignition distributor. EGR wasn't found on a Camaro until 1982. EGR stands for Exhaust Gas Regulation. You can also buy block off plates to remove it and gain m ore horsepower.

That may depend on where you live or where your car came from. Here in California it is from 73.

You have a V8? If you do not have emissions where you live you can get a non egr. If you do you need to check your areas regulations. Any small block distributer will work. There were few exceptions for a small block chevy but you should not have one of them.
