What do you think is wrong with this - seriously ?

Over-fuelling, apparently . . .

I'd say it was worth a punt for £600. It might take a while to locate, but I can't see it costing a fortune to put right.

You'd get more back from breaking it if it was a dead duck.

There's a few bit I want for the Z28 on that - and being alot newer the parts would, surely, be better.

That said I'd want a quick turn-around as I honestly have no cash.

I've been googling for about 15 minutes and a few (not necesarily chevy) people have suggest water temp sensor . . . ie. reading cold and over fueling . . . ?

not necessatily dude.. if its had a hard life or has been left in the sun the interior may be knackered.. If its been in any accidents all the suspension and bracketry could be off...

what bits do you need ?

Motorama · January 22, 2009, 05:19:10 AM

plus figure on a couple hundred quid at least back from Newcastle

I don't need any of that.

Don't need any of that, either.

I'm after the bonnet and GFX . . . maybe the nosecone . . maybe the door(s).

Yup. It had dawned on me.

PEOPLE WHO TYPE IN CAPITALS AND CANT USE PROPER PARAGRAPHS AND SENTANCES ARE RETARDS JUST THOUGHT THAT WAS WORTH ADDING.

Gator · January 22, 2009, 08:17:18 AM

water temp sensor i reckon but as we all know with these cars it can take a bit of thunking about to get to the fault

a friggin steal i wish i had some spare change

EDGE · January 22, 2009, 09:24:42 AM

could be a whole can of worms though...

worst case i guess you can pull it all out and put a proper motor in it.... but then you do end up with a baby blue 3rd gen,

Shifty · January 22, 2009, 09:33:39 AM

Once you get it working there'd also be enough space left under the hood to turn it into a real car and by grafting a couple of turbo's to the engine.

EDGE · January 22, 2009, 09:41:04 AM

lol....

dont start him off......

Roadkill · January 22, 2009, 11:17:55 AM

I don't want the car !

Just parts. The theory is to swap the bits over then sell, fixed, at a reduced price.

I may even replace the Eldo with it for a bit - who knows . . . theoretically.

if you wanted the gfx, you'd need the strips off the bottom of the doors too as they're shaped differently, you'd also probably have to take the nose too because i'm not sure the later gfx would fit properly.

Seems Edelbrock make a Carb manifold for every V6 chevy except the 3.1L . . . .

Rocky · January 22, 2009, 01:28:19 PM

It was up for sale for £400 3 weeks ago, I think i know whats wrong with it, but i also know someone who is going after it.

Rocky · January 22, 2009, 01:35:04 PM

BTW i have seen the car and a few of the panels are rotten

Rocky · January 22, 2009, 03:13:40 PM

oh for some spare cash....

Big Mouse · January 26, 2009, 12:08:22 PM

We had a similar problem on the camaro last year; would run fine then it would seem to over fuel and cut out. Dry everything out and it worked fine for a while then it would fall over again. Everything pointed to it over fueling.

We stripped the fuel system more than once - crappy job wasn't it Ian? - contantly played around with the fuel pumps and stripped the carbs but no joy. It turned out to be an ignition fault which would stop the spark getting to the plug after a while

Could be more than just a fuel problem

A wise old mechanic told me many years ago to always start with electrics, because 9 out of 10 faults are electrical based

Gotto say IMHO he was right
