SOURCE: rewiring 1959 chevy el camino

Are you needing advice, links, tricks, or all of the above?
If it's advice you want:
If you are not buying an after market harness and all of the oem wiring is intact replace one wire at a time from the component all the way back to the fuse box. Its tedious but, it's a sure fire way to get it right the first time.

Secondly, I'd by a haynes manual or some other wiring diagram. Study it for at least a couple weeks or until you are completely comfortable taking on the task.

Color code your wires and label both the old and new ones with paper tape and a permanent marker so that you know what each one is for.

Last but not least, make sure that the battery is disconnected... ;o)

SOURCE: Will a 700r4 fit into a 87 el camino without

It depends on what the 700r4 came out of. Different vehicles had different length tail shafts. The best thing to do is to measure the length of the two transmissions. You should be able to get a driveshaft shortened for around $150 if you need to do it. Also don't forget to get the vacuum-electric switch and harness for the trans, on the firewall by the heater box.
This will really make a difference in your mileage so give it some serious thought. I replaced a Turbo350 with one and my weekly gas bill went from $100 to about $65-$70. Hope this helps.

most likely a weak fuel pump or a clogged filter. Check fuel pressure with a gauge or as its bogging down spray brake cleaner in the Throttle Body. If this allows it to increase RPM then its the pump or filter.

How do I fix shiflter cableon 1986 chevy el camino

Do you have one to replace it. They are time consuming and you nearly have the disassemble the whole steering column. Find a replacement first( it is nearly 30 years old). I can replace them, but I have to have it in hand. Your best bet is to buy a program. alldatadiy.com.

1984 305 El Camino / stock, was running fine, now it stalls when I get off the freeway at stop sign. After a short while it will start again but acts like it is choking.

Check your accelerator pump. It's on the side of the carburetor, near where the fuel line enters. It costs about $10 to replace but it causes a lot of headaches.

I dont think my vac.secondaries are working and i think a vac.line is hooked up wrong its a quadrajet 4bbl on a stock 305 in an 84 el camino

On the R.H side of the carb behind the automatic choke down on the rear throttle shaft there is a pin running thru the shaft with a lever that will lock it out. If the choke is not fully open or the weight behind the auto choke is not dropping the lever will not relase the secondaries to open.
