No start, Vandals, and a laugh
Hey guys,
I have had a heck of a week. First and most foremost my Camaro has randomly desided not to start. When you turn the key nothing happens at all (all most like a dead battery). If I am lucky the dash lights come on as it is switched into the 'run' position, but then when you go to 'start' everything goes dead again. If that isn't strange enough it died on me about two weeks ago as I was doing 70mph down the highway. It was driving fine, then /everything/ went dead just for a moment.. then it fired and was fine again. Someone suggested that it could be the ignition switch going bad. Has anyone heard of anything like this.. or have any ideas? I have no clue
To top it off, When it desided not to start the last time. It had to sit over night so I could go get a truck and trailer to get it home. Some time during the night someone broke out the driverside window. Nothing was touched in the car, they just broke the window.. just to break it. I get to fix that now aswell.
So after all of that, I wanted to share some amusement. Here is a pic of a 360ci ford motor that a I 'dropped' into an 87 IROC
Fastest engine install I've ever done.. took about 30 seconds
