Doesn't sound good at all!
Had a 70 Z in that color…in the sun it popped…only green I ever liked.
What a sharp looking car.
I know I'm late to the party – what's 3 years between gear heads, but just have to say my brother had one of those 70 Camaros and it was his pride and joy. You guys did such a great job "IMO" I had to forward the show to him. Now his wife's pissed cause he wants another one. LOL!!!!
Sounds like it su

MAKING NE LAUGH BOYS, NEVER SAW YOU DEGREE THE CAM. OR JUST FORGOT ???? MY COUNTRY FRIENDS JEJEJEJE, LOVE YOUR PROGRAM BUT??/ MANY THINGS YOU FORGET. SORRY.
When you drill thru metal you need to prime and paint the fresh metal or else rust will start there. I always paint them. I had this car in a 71. I installed a 327 racing engine in mine It sung at 8200 rpm..
I never understood the concept of “ saving time” by laying out the parts in order to how the install on the car. Didn’t you take the time to organize them and lay them out on a blanket on the floor? Time is time and it’s spent no matter how you look at
..
Camaro . . .
Buddy got an RV with the 454
pulled it out and the tranny
got the RV for $250
found two 396s
two hundred each
…
Half the problems could have been solved easily by tossing that holley in the trash where it belongs.

exelente maquina ya esta terminado. gran trabajo gracias por compartir sus trabajos.
have you drilled a freshly-made wing and not protected the holes with anything? From this place, the wing will rot completely.
It's like all projects: The final 20% takes 80% of the time, after which blah blah blah blah.
Why didn’t you just use 3m double stick emblem tape instead of drilling that amazing fender. Smh
НИЧЕГО НЕ ПОНИМАЮТ НИ В СИСТЕМЕ ЗАЖИГАНИЯ , НИ В КАРБЮРАТОРАХ !!! У меня чуть сердце не разорвалось пока они дрочили на двигатель !!! Как такое возможно , человек собирающий двигатель незнает как его правильно запустить ???
Beautiful job, the wheels look nice but I thought the 70 SS 396 came with the rally rims.
No offense guys. I wish I could have been there so I could show these guys how it’s done. This old man knows a few tricks
They still haven't figured out that an L78 had 4 bolt mains, not 2. Not exactly competent putting the dizzy in and initial firing. It ain't rocket science.
always break in an engine with a proven-correct carb, eliminates many factors when things don't go as they should…
Did they break in that cam if not it’s gonna go flat fast unless it’s a roller
Y love the muscle cars j en est eux toue one une chevelle SS 396 big bloc et one el camino 77 avec one un 383 chevy v8 big blok a compresseur wieland boite th 450 turbo pond 10 boulont et 580 ch peut etre plus mais c est ce que ma dit l ancien propriétaire mais j avait vraiment l impression qui y avait plus j etait tout le temps en burn un trein de pneux par semaines please a combien de dollars je pourrais trouver une z28 camaro 71 ou 72 parce que pour l instant moin chere svp si vous faites de telle émission que je pub sur facebook combien je peux en trouver une avec les mopars c est ma caisse préféré
В Вишнёвом цвете краской ксералик была бы сногсшибательная!!!
Terrible interior color choice! Citrus Green is awesome though!!!!!
Hey guys a vacuum gage is a useful tool to diagnose these kind of problems , I use to used it a lot heck I still use it for modern cars
Awesome!!
If you drill holes after painting you going to get rust on your fender faster then fat people eating cheese burgers
No OBDII and these guys can't figure it out. Some hotrodders…
Why didn't you install an HEI distributor ??? There is such a thing as going over board on original.
Ran terrible. Probably gave incorrect timing mark on balencer
I hope they used touch-up primer in the holes after they drilled for the SS Emblems !!!
Trust me over time weather and crap "Will" get under the nice paint there from the bare metal !!
It's an easy fix to stop that. : )
One of my favorite builds on the show over the years !!
A Beautiful 70' Camaro RS/SS Clone car, just please tell the people you sell it to later it is a Clone !! Lol : D
Why did you choose this oil? 75w-90 Can I empty the oil in my car and add this completely, or do I have to add something else with it?
Btw, to hear actual professionals say after an all nighter..
"It makes NO damned sense"
seem sort of satisfying.
I'm curious.. Was the SS rear alcove painted shiny, or eggshell black?
This L-78 ( converted from a 307 RS ) Is Beautiful. I owned an original numbers matching1970m SS 396 -78 Classic copper. But it was on where near as nice as this one. I sold it in December 2001. My present Camaro is the other 1970 BB SS 396 L-34. Camaro gold with Saddle interior. This one also is numbers matching. Both were Norwood cars with cowl tag saying L-78 and L-34.
Impressive, but it's still a fake SS. Should of kept the RS badging.
one of the few times I'd find a green car look good.
When the block was at the machine shop the deck was resurfaced. Did that effect timing or were the measurements redone with new pushrods? I know it's not an OHC, but still makes me wonder…
Tommy and Rick were the best combo on any of powernations shows
Maybe finding the true TDC?
I bet they had the idle way too slow + idle screws off , thats why it would run unless the timing was way to high. Notice they didn't say what was wrong. The Carb should have been Flow tested, I bet that would have done the trick.
Hey guys, give me such a car and send it to Russia.)))
I really love American cars of the 50s-70s, but in our country they cannot be found (((
Durka durka duuuurrr. Dey took our joooobs.
These are two of the dumbest people I have ever seen on a car show.
This video is about as pleasant as a fart in a smart car
He says that this is just a 350 car.
But I believe this is the first year for the LT-1 350.
Which is the 375 hp 350 which is a bad mf.
I would rather have the 350 than the 396 this year all day long.but they would never tell you that back then because they want you to pay for the more expensive option
