Re: [Chevelle-list] New to the El Camino world ( tell it like it is)
The key lesson for us from this post is torespect another's passion for whatever vehicle spins their wheels. I came of age(turned sixteen) in 1967. My passion has always been for the cars built between 64/67, with the 65 being the apple of my eye. I did not care for the change that took place in the Chevelles in 68. Even today they are somewhat so so to my eye. It's all in your personal perspective. I have learned to love all the old cars, yes even some of the F--ds. And I have seen some really well done late model El Caminos. It's all about the passion.

RE: [Chevelle-list] New to the El Camino world ( tell it like it is)
My sentiments exactly. Lets get back to talking cars. EFI update: My EFI system is running and drivable. I drove my car about 50-60 miles over the weekend with zero problems. Its not fully tuned, but it starts and drives. Im stuck with base timing of 10 degrees (no mechical or vacuum advance) for the time being. My Megasquirt-II processor showed up, which will allow me to do computer controlled timing too, but something didnt work right and I had to ship it back.

RE: [Chevelle-list] New to the El Camino world ( tell it like it is)
Then why are you insulting people instead of attempting to help them. Dumb ideas in mind I guess Ford shouldnt have attempted to mass produce his cars, I am sure a lot of people thought that was a dumb idea at the time. What is dumb to one person is not necessarily dumb to everyone else, so maybe if it bothers you, you should just ignore it. I am sorry we are not all as intelligent as you or have all of the information you do, so we do have to ask I guess what you are calling stupid questions, but that is how we learn and why the web sight exists not to tear down and insult people for asking an honest question to them, but stupid to you. If you want to help then be nice and help answer the questions being asked. I admit I do not know everything I need to know, but because of people like you I do not ask the questions on this sight that I need to, and have only recently started writing at all mainly to counteract people like you.

Re: [Chevelle-list] New to the El Camino world ( tell it like it is)
the 79 elcamino has very little value, personalI would not look once at it let alone twice, you might want to rethink, that project. go with a older model don't settle for just any truck. pick one with some value, or you will be throwing your cash out the window. the 60 and 69 years models with a original big blockengines are your best choose for restoration, unless you have a rich mother and you can afford to throw everything but the kitchen sink into it,cloner

Re: [Chevelle-list] New to the El Camino world ( tell it like it is)
why invest 5k in a 800 dollar car,,, when you can find a 4200 dollar car and invest 800 bucks, this is simple math,, dont make a lot of sense , you cant make a silk purse from a sow's ear, let alone a scrotum sack like the 79 elcamino, im sure one day it might become a collector, but not in my life cloner p/s welcome to the list where you will hear the truth even if it hurts, a least from me

Maybe he likes the car. I guess you would have a problem with someone that wants to build a 77 Malibu Classic too. nothing wrong with that car either. Some people are not in it for the investment aspect, just for the fun of it and that is what should be encouraged. Basically you said "that car is a worthless POS". Once again, not your decision to build it. I've been working on/restoring/modifying my 86 Cutlass since I got it back in 1997. I've probably dumped well over $5000 into it between engines, transmission, rears, etc, but guess what, I choose to and it's my business, no one elses. Will I ever get that kind of $$ if I decide to sell it, nope, but I could care less because I don't plan on selling it anytime soon. Tom

Better put on your flame suit,dude. I think you're going to need it. The truth hurts,I agree,but you come off as an insensitive jerk. No offense,of course.

RE: [Chevelle-list] New to the El Camino world ( tell it like it is)
I try to stay out of things like this, but copocloner did come off sounding a bit harsh. The original poster was just trying to get a recommendation for a local mechanic to fix some carb issues. Sorry, I dont know any Florida mechanics. Frankly, Id love to find a good 78-87 Elky for a daily driver. If theres a rust-free one around for $800, Id buy it. I miss the ease of hauling things I had with my 72. V8 power, it aint 5000+ lbs like a full-size pickup, and itll fit in my 20-foot deep garage. Perfect for urban rednecks like me. :-) -Dave From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Clint Hooper Sent: Sunday, April 10, 2005 11:36 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] New to the El Camino world ( tell it like it is) Better put on your flame suit,dude.

Copo : Caps are a sign of shouting. How old are you ? I'm guessing maybe 16-17. This is an open forum. If you don't like Wtf is said to you, why don't you leave the list ? On this list we don't diss others. I suggest maybe you should STFU or you may find yourself shunned by everyone. I think you owe everyone on here an apology.
