    Hey guys, I have a '67 with a 383 and ls1 fans. Standard alternator. These fans pull a significant amount of current and when coupled with the headlights being on at night, the alternator performs less than great. As a result, the fans don't cool as well because they're not receiving the power...

    I have a 67 with a SB 350. I have a new battery that has been sitting on a trickle charger when the car is in the garage. The car acts like I am trying to start with an almost dead battery. As if there is not sufficient energy to turn over the motor. I do not know what to trouble shoot. I...

    Hello, Having issues with my starting. History before issue: Camaro was insure for the spring summer season, started up perfectly after a few pumps of the accelerator, tank was topped up before having it sit for 4-5 months. Battery wires were removed when parked, and re-attached when ready to...

    Relocating the battery from the very front corner of the engine bay to the trunk (ideally under the hat shelf) offers a number of benefits: Weight balance of traditionally front-heavy muscle cars is redistributed to rear to get closer to the ideal 50/50 weight distribution...

    I have a mid seventies alternator on my 67camaro 350. It is new. My battery keeps dying. The old one was wired as a one wire alt I suppose but thought it would be better to have it wired as the 3 wire. So I ran new wires. It seems now that it is not charging. I have also had a problem...

    I'm planning on installing an Odyssey battery in the trunk of my 67 and wanted to bounce some ideas off the group. I'm going to be running a M.A.D. Starte'em Up kit along with an American Autowire cable kit. My biggest questions are about cable routing. In the past I've always left the main...

    I have a 1968 camaro SS, with a 350 and four speed trans. If I turn on my headlights my car will die unless i push on the gas pedal a little bit. Something also draws off my battery whether the car is on or not. Also after the battery dies i'll let it set for a while and it will start back up...

    Hey, I bought my first car last week, a nice '98 red V6 Camaro. There was a flash flood in Miami, where I bought the car. The water got to 1 1/2 feet deep, and the engine stopped. I replaced the air filter, which was wet, and the car started the next day. I drove it 1400 miles to...

    Hey Guys, I've got myself a 67 with an aftermarket stereo. I am new to using a multimeter but have been reading so I get the general idea. I'm using a digital meter for my testing. I wanted to write this out for review so that someone could confirm that my drain testing methods are correct...

    I see where some 69s built late in the year (mine was Oct) had side terminal batteries. My car has one original side terminal cable with an adapter/extender to allow it to work on a top-post battery. The other cable is for a top post battery. Is it possible that this is how it came? Why not two...

    Ok so I have a base (I think anyway) 1987 Camaro with the 2.8 V6 in it, 5 speed manual. It's got the weirdest battery drain I've ever seen. It will spontaneously "fix" itself, usually after I accelerate hard, and then after about three days goes right back to draining the battery. I KNOW the...

    That is what I want to put in my '69 Camaro. I have had such good luck with the ACDelco's I want one for it now. Today I stopped at a local parts store and they looked up an ACDelco to fit my 1969 Camaro and was told thay do not make one to fit that car anymore???? What????? So, now I need to...
