First off is my old car which was a 1988 RS. I bought it mostly the way it was got it for $400 with 120k miles on it. It had green underglow with a after market hood, exhaust, and hatch. It also had blackout brake lights. I didn't really do much to this car and I did not know anything about cars at the time I had friends help me put plugs, wires and a coil in. It had a daytona hood I think it was and some kind of weird hatch with a spoiler. This is what got me started more on camaros but this car went to hell sadly. I took everything out of the engine bay stripped it out didn't have a job at the time and just lost it. My friend and I literally picked up the 6cyl 2.8l engine by the engine mounts and the back and threw it out of the engine bay at 2am in the morning with 8 other people there. I have learned A LOT since then and im on my 2nd camaro. Heres some pics of this one

So about 3 months later with a v8 camaro here it is...

1992 rs
305 TBI 5.0
T-Tops

What I did so far...
-Replaced Spark Plugs (Bosch platinum +4 spark plugs)
-Replaced Dash Board with one from my old camaro
-Replaced Plug Wires (Accel)
-Replaced Ignition Coil (Accel)
-Installed Aftermarket Sunpro Tach
-Oil Change = D

My dilemma is a couple different things..

-make the 305 fully carbed instead of tbi
-put in a 350 carbed
-put a 350 TPI


Also randomly my horn, dome light, power locks, trunk, cig lighter stopped working I think it is a couple fuses but I don't know how they would just go like that. My turn signals stay solid to... Does anyone have something to tell which fuse is what?

The dome light, locks and cigarette lighter are on the accessory fuse. There may be some of the other circuits on this fuse. It is a common problem on Camaros. It is something to do with the cigarette lighter shorting out and popping the fuse.

I changed the ACC fuse and everything besides the turn signals work.

If the turn signals stay on but don't flash it could be a flasher. I have no clue where it is on a Camaro. I would check bulbs as well. When a bulb goes out in these cars they will not flash.
