How can you tell if your 1979 El Camino 4spd is a royal knight version?

What is a car smog?

smogging a vehicle tests the amount of pollutants in the exhaust fumes, verifying the amounts of hydrocarbons and unburned fuel, in accordance to the state in which you reside, assuring that your vehicle is within the specifications of the EPA regulations. Failure of this test is detremental to the registration process. an "exempt" status may be the alternitive to passing the smog by repairing or tuning the vehicle with at least $250.00 towards passing smog test, and another smog. Failure of this test ( with financial and physical proof of repair ) will deem this vehicle exempt for one year..(at least in the state of nevada) good luck to you my friend, JM

1986 El Camino with idiot lights would like to change to gauges?

Buy a used gauge pod. El Camino and Monte Carlos use the same pod. Usually found on e-Bay. Be sure the gauge pod has the plastic strip electrical harness with it attached to the back. The temperature switch below the driver's side exhaust manifold will need changing to a temperature sensor. An oil pressure sensor will need to be installed just above the oil filter. There is a plug located there. The tan wire attached to the oil pressure switch located below the distributor will need to be cut and a female spade connector installed on the wire to connect to the new oil pressure sensor. Information on changing out the pod can be found on elcaminocentral.com forum. You will need to become a member to use the search feature or ask questions with a topic post. Membership is free.

What is different between 1979 Chevy El Camino and 1979 gmc caballero?

All El Caminos and GMC Caballeros are similar. They use the same body and interior. The only differences were very minute design differences, but you cannot really notice them. GMCs were considered to be a more work version, and less sold than the Chevrolets. The Chevrolets were associated with muscle cars, so more sold and they were taken care of more. GMCs are more valuable to collectors because they are harder to find.
