Making excellant progress. I really like how those wheels turned out. Keep up the good work.

TBRays98

Ordered this today http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS+Performan...40005/10002/-1
along with a distributor hold down and wires.

Now I'm trying to choose headers.
I'm just looking for some cheap ones that will bolt up to the stock y pipe.

Anyone have any opinions between

and

TBRays98

nvm looks like only hookers collector will match up

I can't be 100% sure, but I'm pretty sure that I had both of those headers years ago, first on my '85 TA and then on my '91 RS, and while they fit, they are nowhere close to being able to use the stock y-pipe. I also used a set of Summit headers, and also couldn't get the y-pipe to come anywhere close to fitting. I believe that I eventually got a set of Hedman's.... I think this one http://www.summitracing.com/dom/part...ro?prefilter=1 with this y-pipe http://www.summitracing.com/dom/part...t/model/camaro
I also stuck a high flow Magnaflow 3 inch cat on there. Worked pretty good.

TBRays98

Thanks for the info ill definitely order the correct y pipe if i cant find a direct fit.

TBRays98

Looks like the jeg distributor is for a non computer controlled setup...

ill be refunding it and buying this distributor
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/pnx-d1021

or maybe ill just buy a ignition module and reuse the facory distributor.

TBRays98

Ok got my huge order in today.

-Hooker Headers
-South Bay fpr
-Alloy boltz polished tpi kit

TBRays98

Installed some of my new parts today!

TBRays98

Can any of you show me where you mounted your ignition coils?

J. Chris Davis

iTrader: (1)

The firewall near the distributor? That's probably where I would try to mount it.

DiabolicalRS

if you do this make sure your hood has the rubber strip that goes along the backside of the hood, it keeps water out and away from the dizzy.

J. Chris Davis

iTrader: (1)

Good point. I had not thought about that.

TBRays98

mine does not have the rubber strip.. can any of you post a picture of where you mounted your coil?

deadbodyman

Love your thread....I'm doing the same exact car,its even red too. Since I'm doing from the outside in I've run into problems that you soon will and youve already run into trouble that I soon will so, I have a few questions if you dont mind, mostly having to do with the interior pieces.....

TBRays98

awesome well if you have any questions feel free to ask me

deadbodyman

I noticed your dash pad is in great shape ,did you buy it or did it come with the car ,I havent found any at the yards that were saveable...and the repos are super expensive...I might have to tear down the whole dash to replace a few pices that are cracked,how much of a PITA was that ???? I've got the whole interior out except the dash ,not looking forward to removing it....any tips

TBRays98

Yea my dash was just luckily in good shape. The only advise i have is dont tear apart the dash if you dont have to.

TBRays98

Got my gf to do the lettering on the throttle body plate. She's doing the plenum right meow.

90camaro355rs

really looking good man!

TBRays98

I already installed my new pressure regulator, now im just waiting for my fuel injectors from southbay to get this baby started up

iTrader: (2)

That's pretty cool that you can get your lady in the garage with you, I was never able to get a girlfriend or my ex-wife to help me out. The lettering and plenum turned out pretty good.

TBRays98

haha she was at the dining room table doing it. She also said thank you for saying her work looked nice.

deadbodyman

The amount of detail your doing is amazing....I'm thinking I'm going to buy that abs headliner ...any trouble getting it up there?
or was it pretty straight forward?

TBRays98

Actually its not installed yet. It's been in my guestroom closet for a year lol.

TBRays98

Getting real close now

deadbodyman

I wasnt going to do anything to the engine compartment on mine but seeing how nice one looks when done up has changed my mind. I'll be doing some paint work in there also. I wont be going into all the detail you have but I will be cleaning it up a lot....looks great....

J. Chris Davis

iTrader: (1)

Looking good. Love the detail.

TBRays98

^Thanks guys

Got my bosch injectors and taylor wires in today and installed.
All i need is to connect my fuel lines to my fuel rail and i can fire up the engine.

TBRays98

Got my starter and battery cables yesterday and ordered all the braided fuel line "stuff" from summit to connect my fuel rail to my gas tank lines. I should be able to start the car Wednesday!!!

TBRays98

does anyone know where to get the rubber fuel line to connect the fuel rail to the hard lines?

TBRays98

I went to crank the engine for the first time today but i couldnt get the any fuel flowing. I have a brand new pump, filter, and sending unit. I tested the fuel pump connector under the car for power and it had constant power on one wire and nothing on the other two. should one of the other two wires have power while cranking?

TBRays98

Ok ive been searching and will be continuing my search but i do understand now only one wire should have power which it does but my fuel pump relay does not have any power going to it.

TBRays98

Alright i now have the fuel pump working i just need to find out why im not getting spark. I have power to the ignition module but nothing coming out. So it should either be the module or pick up coil.

Check the grounds, my old '91 RS would crank but wouldn't fire. Ended up being a bad ground.

TBRays98

Thaanks for your advise man i figured out the problem. I had a bad connection with my coil to module harness. It is brand new but i guess any pos can be sold through ebay. Thanks again hopefully this car will start real soon.

my1stz

Great job and determination

TBRays98

Fixed the connection issue but i cannot get power out of the module. I have tested the module and it tested ok. I'm sure the problem is the pickup coil but the distributor it self looks like it could use some help.

Ive decided im just going to send my distributor in for a professional rebuild. The rebuild will cost as much as a new distributor but i would rather wait then buy a new Chinese pos. I work at a parts store like stated in the past and i know for a fact that they never hold up like factory gm parts.

I will be sending my distributor to Ignition Engineering in California.
http://www.distributorcurvingandrebu...ebuilding.html

I may have to be patient but this way i get to help a small business and keep my better built factory part.

Like usual i will write my vendor review on them after all is said and done.

TBRays98

Ignore that last post ^

Destroyed the distributor trying to replace the pickup coil.
The shaft was stuck and I broke it.

Next pay check ill get a new distributor..

Deadbox

Awesome Thread.

TBRays98

Friend brought by a spare distributor just now......
and....

MY CAMARO FIRED UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DiabolicalRS

good **** man, i know that put a smile from ear to ear lol

J. Chris Davis

iTrader: (1)

That's great news on getting a distributor.

TBRays98

still cheesing!!

jstratouly

lately I've ran in to multiple issues with my 88 iroc but reading all that you had to do to yours gives me new hope. How is your cooling fan hooked up? And how hard was it to fully gut the interior? The farthest I've gotten was removing the front seat, door panels, and the dash pad but i had to put them all back together so i could drive it to/from my school when needed.

TBRays98

-I havent actually hooked up my fan yet but theres a power wire that comes off the relay that mine will be hooked up to.
-Gutting the interior is really easy, putting it back together is a little more tricky lol

I took apart my interior because the previous owner hacked up the interior harness to add an alarm system, leds, and terrible speakers. Plus the drivers side window had been down for three years of rain and the trunk section was completely filled with water... I still dont know how this iroc didnt rust at all.

What im trying to say is i had a lot of reasons to gut the interior and wouldnt recommend it unless you had a lot to do. ie heater core, speakers, carpet, etc.

TBRays98

It's been awhile since my last picture update.

-Serp brackets in
-alternator
-radiator
-efan
-ps pump
-water pump
-coolant and washer resevoir
-rubber fuel lines
-and im sure i forgot some things.
