Talking Took my Camaro out for a spin

First time out with the new engine, just to try it a little before the winter comes. It was a little cold so maybe the throttlebody got cold, I have disabled the heating of it. I thought that it didn't respond so well as it did when I ran it in my garage a few weeks ago. Anyway that can be fixed in April when I will take her out again.

Just was fun to drive the car again, haven't done that since end of August 2005.

With open headers it was loud and my ears hurt so I had to take it easy.





Movie can be seen on my homepage: www.protouring.se

I envy you guys with the 67's-69's. There is a plethora of parts and info out there for this swap and it looks sooo much easier than what I've been doing. Aside from that, it's just a damned sweet car

Looks great I want another 69 Camaro. The car won't run too good with out the O2s it will run better after that. The pcm tune may be off the motor should just turn over a little and then start rite up. I had a freind that wanted me to test around 7 pcms for him on my car it was odd, some started my motor real fast and some it took alot of turns for it to start.
