Also I know the specs on the motor. It's a 1976 Camaro LM1 350. It has a stock bore of 4.00 and a stroke of 3.48. It has 165 HP and 245 ft/lbs of torque stock. The compression is 8.5:1 which is the same as the L82 I believe. However, I'm assuming it has a bit more HP and torque now. The...

I can't afford a $3k crate motor at this time. I was looking for a bit cheaper of a way to get a little extra power. Maybe around $1000

Engine in it now is out of a 1976 LM1 Camaro. 350 auto 4bbl 170hp(well at least stock it is. Not sure with the intake, bigger carb and cam).

I've got a 74 Corvette Stingray. The previous owner blew the original L82 and stuck a 76 camaro v8 into it. I'm not sure which trim of camaro it is. I know it's a 350, but that's about it. I've slowly been fixing things on my car such as a busted back bumper and interior. I'm ready to...

thanks for the info. I hadn't thought about the deck height. I just assumed if a 454 would fit under the hood a 366 probably would too.

It was a 366. I was not aware that it was a truck engine though. Why would this be a bad idea for a corvette? It has decent horsepower and torque. The transmission and rear gear ration is what determines speed. Why do you believe it's a bad choice? I'm trying to collect as many pro's and...

I was wondering what everybody's views would be on this. I have a 74 stingray L82. However, the previous owner blew the L82 and switched it with a camaro engine. I found a brand new crate engine for sale for $500. It is a stock chevy 366. It sounds like it has around 300 HP and 330 ft/lbs...

wow. I'll keep that in mind if I ever need to replace my tach cable again. It probably wouldn't have helped me too much this time. The inner cable was broken and I'd judge at least 5 inches of it was gone. I'm not sure what the guy before me did. He chopped a lot of things up. I'm slowly...

I've got it working now. I trimmed the cable down on the gauge side. Thanks for everybody's help.

Are you sure the cable is supposed to be 20. inches long? My new cable is the same length as my old one and the housing alone is longer than 20.5. There is room to trip some off on either side. I've noticed the metal piece inside it doesn't move to adjust it. On the gauge side of the cable...

actually it unscrewed. The new cable I got from corvette central didn't have it on there. I've switched it over to my new cable. There is a metal adjuster piece on my new cable. It appears to be preventing the metal house from going far enough on to connect to the clip on the gauge. can...

I was missing the little release switch in the back. I've got the tach cable out now without removing the dash any further. How do I get the plastic piece off? It appears to be made on

Thanks for the instructions. I bought the cable from corvette central. Would it already be cut to the correct size? The distributor is an ebay one. It looks pretty well made. I've drove it a few times and it seems to be working perfectly. My only question is, how do I get the dash loose...

How does the cable insert into the distributor and gauge. My new cable has a screw on piece only on one side.

Hi. I've been restoring my old interior and I've had some problems finding some of the parts I need in the correct color. I've thought about looking into interior dye. Is there any type anyone would recommend. My interior in my 74 is medium saddle. I've found black replacement seats and I...

I was wondering if anyone has did a headlight conversion from the stock 5 3/4 sealed bulbs to a newer xenon setup. I purchased a kit off ebay 5001 EURO XENON HEADLIGHT CONVERSION KIT 5 3/4" | eBay but it appears they are about 2 inches too deep. Does anybody have any suggestions. I don't...

I found one that has a boot and is dark blue. However, I used a test light on it and it doesn't appear to make the gauge move. I'm hoping the gauge isn't bad. I just bought it. Does anybody know of any aftermarket mechanical replacements. Those are very simple to hook up. I actually...

I finally installed my new hei tach drive distributor. Considering the last guy that owned the car had removed the timing chain cover and put one on without marks, I managed to install it pretty easily and it runs far better than it used to. However, when I went to hook up the tach drive...

I've been looking at the wiring diagrams and thought that may be the color. Now the complicated part is figuring out which wire is dark blue or just covered in oil. lol. Thanks a ton for your help.

Well I tried to find the wire color on the wiring diagram. I got confused though and couldn't figure it out. Could anybody possibly pop their hood and see what color of wire is attached to the oil sending unit. :thumb
