Hello everyone,

I am new (obviously ) and I am here with the intention to find good info to facilitate the work I will do on my car. I have very little knowledge but a lot of desire to do this. I have had the car since 2002 but I abandoned it for about five years to go to the Army. Then I met a girl and... well long story. So now in 2008 I am ready to retake my passion for my car. I have a whole list of things that it needs. I will work on it one at a time and will post intermittent questions. I want to thank everyone for their help ahead of time. I am really looking forward to doing this.

Like I said, I don't know very much but I will gladly share my little bit of knowledge. Here are some recent pics.

 

welcome! love the color and the wheels

 

what douse that maro have as a heart? 350?

 

looks like a 350. I know on some older camaros (67 - 69) that they have the heater hoses coming from the firewall closer to the fender on the big blocks and closer to the engine on the small blocks. Did they do that for the 72's and if so are those the heater hose holes in the pic on the firewall??? Mine has a single hole right there for a vacuum accessory link but it's not that big if I remember correctly.

Nice car, love the color. It's the color that my car was originally and I'm wanting to go back to it pretty soon.

Welcome to the forums and I hope you get the help you're looking for.

You might also want to bookmark Nastyz28's camaro info page if you haven't already. Tons of useful information.

 

Hey everyone,

Thank you for the welcome; I am very glad to be here. Alih, thank you, I really like the combination I have going on too. I think it makes it look kind of like a Trans Am. Yes, it is a 350. I got it rebuilt in 2003 and it has hardly been used. Kyphur, I wish I could answer your questions but I really don't know much about this type of stuff. I just drive it and reap the looks of admiration Thanks for the link to the NastyZ28 page [sm=smiley20.gif]

 

No problem... the links on that page are messed up in some places but if you click enough you'll find your way around the broken links to what they're supposed to go to.

 

I don't know much about 2'nd gen cars but I'm pretty sure those aren't heater core holes.
On the first gen big blocks it's a whole different heater core and yes to the outboard part of the firewall by the fender but the hoses hook right to the heater core box if memory serves.
I had to do the conversion on mine,the hose connections on the small block heater core end up behind the head and the head is very close to the firewall so there's no way to hook up the hoses with a big motor in there and a stock heater core.

Nice car ya got there,should clean up nice,
There's not a better car to build IMHO than an early Camaro,simple reliable,cheap parts and easy to work on.
