I have parts now and have been doing a little bit each day to fix and clean up the Camaro. My project list to running is:
repair burned out fusible link
change oil and Marvel Mystery Oil cylinders before turning over by hand
drain and replace gas
replace battery
swap the Monojet out for a new 2GC with electric choke and a Thermac from a 305cid 2bbl
lots of little parts for the swap like vacuum hoses, plugs, filters, fuel line
purchase new plates and insurance
clean and polish
Ok, so 2bbl adapter is too tall for the hood height. But I cleaned up the Monojet and put it back on, changed the oil and filter, turned the engine over by hand, drained and replaced gas along with replacing the soft fuel line. I have a new fuel filter to swap out with the old one once I run the new gas and remains of the old gas I couldn't pump out. Put some Seafoam in it too. When I put the alternator back on, I put the bracket from the PS pump to the engine block back, but I couldn't find the bolt that screws into the engine block to secure on it on the bottom. Anyone know what size bolt to replace that with?
The fusible link is still a work in progress, fitment issues. Battery still needs to be replaced and then plates and insurance to get it street worthy.
With the Monojet, I will still have the issue where the idle screw gets sucked in and tightens while driving until it closes off the idle and the car dies when reducing speed and shifting. Also had issues where the battery doesn't seem to be charging while driving, but the alternator was tested and it is fine. Put it back in and snugged it all up good so the belt is tight on it and not slipping. No idea why it is doing that otherwise?
