Up for sale is a beautiful 1967 Chevrolet El Camino. I got
this car last year and have decided to sell it to get some capital for a
business I am starting (also selling an awesome Honda CB750 for the same reason
if you’re interested). That is why this beautiful car is up here with NO
RESERVE. I really wanted this car as a long-term driver/project, as it is my
favorite year of El Camino, but I am going to have to wait. Link here is to a video of the car The El Camino is in perfect shape to be a useable project car. It runs strong and feels great to drive. After its warmed up car fires right up on the first try and the transmission feels tight and shifts clean. Power steering is working well, the steering wheel is easy to turn even when stopped or moving slowly. The things I have personally added to this great elco are the brand new caps and beauty rings on the Chevy rally wheels (from Original Parts Group). Car has 15 inch rally wheels in the back and 14 inchers in the front to give it a more aggressive stance and the correct sizes of caps and rings for both sizes. Brand new headlight bezels and trim in the front on the sides of the grill. Car is the original color for its paint code “RR”, which is
Bolero Red, one of the most desirable colors for Chevelles and El Caminos of
this era. As you can see in the pictures paint looks absolutely amazing. Some
of the areas inside the bed have started to crack with age, but the car is
still a total stunner and gets attention everywhere on the road. Interior is black with a leather bench seat, which is in
good condition with few nicks and tears (see pictures). Black headliner is
nearly perfect with no sags or rips. The black carpet does not have rips, but has started to fade from age/sun and is kind of brown in some areas. Car is an original
396. I am not sure if the engine in it now is the original, but it is
definitely a big block. According to the previous owner it was rebuilt 10,000
miles before he sold it to me. (I’ve put a couple thousand on it since I bought
it last year.) It runs strong and sounds completely beastly. Has a stock carb
and still has enough speed to scare yourself. Transmission is a turbo 400 and feels clean when it shifts, no lag etc. I had the steering column totally rebuilt less than 100 miles ago so it does not feel sloppy when you’re shifting from park as most old automatics tend to feel. Bottom of bed has bed liner in it to keep away the bed rust El Caminos are so infamous for, but it looks awesome as well. The black against the red really pops The issues I would love to fix on the car are that it leaks oil, not sure from where, but for your driveways sake you will probably eventually want to get that fixed. It is not enough to affect the cars drive ability but it will leave stains when parked. Also the car needs some electrical work, as the taillights, gas gauge, dash lights and high beams do not work. Low beam headlights work well and selector switch (by your feet to switch between high and low beams) works fine. This wasn’t an issue for me as I have another car and only drove the El Camino around during the day, but it will at some point need to be addressed. The previous owner installed a kill switch that is actually pretty cool. It is under the dash and the car will not start without the switch being on. Probably the most clever theft deterrent I have ever seen. However, I think that it may be the culprit on the electrical issues, it has never caused the car to stall or malfunction, it’s just a hunch. It seems to me a new wiring harness would quickly fix all of the issues at once, but I have simply run out of time to install one myself. Car has a Kenwood Stereo with CD and AUX input, Two Kenwood
speakers in the back behind the seats. It’s not currently hooked up to power
because I disconnected it trying to hunt down the taillight/dashlight problem,
but speakers and antenna are wired to it and stereo works great This El Camino is all around a great car and would be a
great addition to a classic car collection or a first step into classic muscle
cars. The ‘67 just hzas so much personality and this car is no exception. |

'Killing a Duramax' Gale Banks YouTube series methodically tunes a diesel to death
Thu, Feb 27 2020Learning or perfecting a skill by watching YouTube videos is known as attending YouTube University. GM Authority picked up on one of the video site's more fascinating courses, hosted by Gale Banks; in a fair world, he should be referred to as Professor Banks when it comes to diesel engines and truck tuning. A few months after GM introduced the updated L5P 6.6-liter Duramax diesel V8 in the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD that ships with 454 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque, Banks decided he wanted to methodically tune the engine to death. The purpose of the resulting series, called "Killing a Duramax," is to push more power out of the engine in order to discover which parts break and when — or, as Banks puts it, force-feed the Duramax "until the crank hits the street and the heads hit the hood." With that knowledge, Banks can figure out all the weak points on his way to building what he calls a "Superturbo," that being a supercharged, twin-turbo race engine with more than 1,000 hp. What makes the series fascinating is Banks' knowledge, paired with the company's comprehensive iDash engine monitoring system that keeps tabs on a glut of parameters every step of the way. So for instance, you get Banks explaining the differences between inches of mercury and barometric pressure, how those are different from the water content of the air measured in grains, then showing those readouts on the iDash, then explaining in detail how they affect the air density in the Duramax system. The stock Borg-Warner variable turbo gets a lot of airtime — Banks accuses it of being "out to lunch" because he feels it's the weakest link on the engine. That turns into a turbo teardown and a deep explanation of performance pitfalls, such as when air pressure on the turbine begins to diverge from the boost pressure coming from the compressor. Banks says he can keep close tabs on where power's coming from, because the iDash monitors the horsepower contribution provided by the ambient air, the turbo, and the intercooler separately. The major changes so far are a stouter Precision 7675 turbo and TurboSmart wastegate (episode 5), a twin intake (episode 6), a custom liquid-cooled intercooler from a marine engine, a new GM oil cooler and synthetic oil (episode 10), and new injectors (episode 11).
