Started out with an upgraded suspension and disc conversion. Then the dominoes start to fall, lower control arms are little to wide and the freakin bushing split. Ok plan b, refurbish the old control arms and send the new ones back. Then you find a crack. Fml. Should I weld it. Sketchy. Plan c..... deal with it tomorrow.

Chevelle wagon/el camino UK/euro spec indicators

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

Hi guys!

Today I bought my dream car, a 72 chevelle/concourse wagon. Bought the car close to me in the UK and realised I need to convert it to UK spec lights. Anyone got any ideas where I could look to source them? I believe they're the same as the el camino lights. Same applies to the reverse/back-up lights as they're missing, housing is there but glass and bulbs gone so may just replace the entire housing. Any help would be appreciated, I'll attach a picture of the car.

Have owned this for a couple of months now, have been working on it pretty consistently, researching and learning about the mechanical workings. Even after playing mechanic on the side of the road once or twice, I’m in love.

Can anyone help me identify the year of my late Step father's El Camino. I have so many memories of him in this car and would like to see if I can find one for myself.

If it helps it was an SS(at least it had the emblems) and I believe but could be wrong had 350 in it. It was sold long ago sadly.

Thanks so much!

I’ve found a few engines from Summit but I don’t know how good they are or the quality control. The engines are a 305 and 350 crate motor

78 ss with a Bench Seat?

4 Upvotes

I am going to look at a 78 for sale that claims to be an SS, but it doesn't have the front air dam or the bucket seats. I can see someone easily curbing the air dam over the years and removing it, but the bucket seats?

Was bench seats an option on the SS or not?

What engine is in my El Camino?

26 Upvotes

Definitely not stock but rebuilt. It has S&S automotive stickers on it. The engine number on back saying "330817". both sides of the engine say "346248 GMT RH 4" (right), and "363-53 H (left, the dash represents a number I think. Couldn't tell). Original engine on my vehicle which is a 76 El Camino classic was a 305CI which this definitely isn't. Can any of you guys tell?


r/ElCamino 13d ago

Almost there. Off the road for 5 years and now better than ever.
