Could be, this was 20 or more years ago and they were Pontiac oriented rather than Camaro, slight differences I know but they were big on the Honcho 350, 400 and 455 based cars rather than ones with the Chev' engine - even had gear for the 301 turbo' engine and tran's - if you've ever heard of that ...

Please never mention the 301 turbo again. The engineers who built that should have been fired.

New updated sound clip. Killed off several vacuum leaks, so it now idles MUCH better. Still no cooling system as the radiator hasn't come in yet so I can't do any more than let it idle for maybe 20 or 30 seconds before it has to cool down for about a half hour.

Its open header right now. And it seems to stumble abit when given gas. There is a vacuum line thats supposed to hook up to the optispark system. It may be causing this issue.

As it sits currently, the new rear end is in, suspension is all buttoned up. The driveshaft, and transmission are done. Missing a fitting for the new brake lines, which is joy, on order. And the rubber lines that go to the calipers. I'm also still missing a throttle cable bracket, so even if I finish everything else I can't drive the car. GRRRR. I opened a paypal dispute with the seller as its been a week with no shipping info or anything else.
