Switching manual carb to electric?
That is Not a good idea as you will need a computor,wiring harness,distributor and new carburator. The cost does Not justify it. yes you can put an electric choke carb on your engine with no problem, Edelbrock sells them and all you need is a hot wire from the ignition run to the carb and a ground wire, very simple operation.
How do you replace the ignition switch located on a 1971 Chevy El Camino with tilt steering?
The ignition switch is located on the steering column just above the brake pedal. it has 2 screws holding it in place. You will need to take the entire steering colum off. Pull the wiring harness out.. it's a real pain. I own a 1970 SS 396 cowl induction, factory air, everything stock. It's an orignal.

You can get an estimate of the value at www.nada.com. If the vehicle has a 350 then that is not the original engine, and the value goes down. This is a classic and the value is very subjective. I would contact someone who deals in this type vehicle to find the true value. Evan a local Chevy dealer can help. This vehicle is probably worth way more than you think. I would guess from $7,000 to as high as $15,000 depending on condition. If it had the original 283, it could go as high as $20,000. Even a rough ElCamino will bring close to $5,000. You have a rare classic that was produced in low numbers, so the price is determined by what someone will pay.

Be absolutely sure that all cover fasteners are removed before attempting to break the seal or cover damage will result. Take your time and be careful not to force and crack or otherwise damage the cover.

Was the 1986 el camino available with a 4 speed manual transmission?
Of the final rear wheel drive generation, 1978 and 1979 were the only two model years GM offered a 3 or 4 speed manual transmission in the Elcamino and all G body models. A manual transmission swap into an '86 would be fairly simple using the components from a salvaged '78 or '79 model (although they are not easy to find). I hope this helps, I own 3 factory manual transmission G bodies. A '78 Monte Carlo, a '79 Monte Carlo and a '79 Cutlass.
How can you modify your 350 Chevy engine?
you can make it a 383 stroker,add a bigger cam,its like a 307,its got a 283 block with a 327 cam that makes it a 307,you can't do much more to the 307 to get more power,because it has a short bore,you have to find other ways to get some power,its bored pretty much close to the max.
There are all kinds of mods that you can do to get more power.
A 383 stroker can be a 350 block with a different crankshaft and pistons, giving it more stroke, making tons of torque.
A 283 block with a 327 crank ends up being a 333 after a .010 oversize bore.
I believe you can make a 377 out of a 350 with a different crank and pistons too.
377 is the best of both worlds, meaning toy get more stroke, giving more torque, and you can also run it at high rpm for more HP.
This is normally done with a 400 block but I am pretty wure that it can be done with a 350 block also, just a different combination of parts.

How do you replace ignition switch in a 1970 chevell?
Hi, If I'm not mistaken, there should be a very small pin hole just below where you insert the ign. key.. What you do is take a paper clip and insert it into that small hole when you have the ign. key in the accessories position, and you should be able to pull that whole key & tumbler piece out!
