Finally!

At last! I finally got a camaro! I've been chomping at the bit for years, but never had the chance. I finally got enough cash to get me an 86 Iroc. I had to replace the heater core, oh well. The interior is ok, but needs work, as does the front and rear plastics. I'm looking forward to pimping it up.

It does have a "gassy" smell when I drive it. My friend says it's "running rich." Any thoughts on that? Also any tips on this model or thoughts in general would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking forward to the discussions and keeping my new (old) ride going strong.

And forgive my member name. My name is Rod. How could I resist?

RE: Finally!

if its running rich, then the carb probably needs a little tuning, probably nothing major

Congrats. The 1986 IROC is one of the best handling cars that GM has ever built. Is it fuel injected or carbed?
