@@mattjohnson8090 yeah the 302 DZ it was a 327 engine with a 283 crank which gave it the shorter stroke of the 327 in comparison to the 350 also the heads were different to I believe they were 58cc heads in those years 67 through 69 which created more compression but I'm really not sure about the heads I think they were called double camel hump heads back in the day but not really sure my memory is not as good as it used to be as I am not really a Chevy guy I have built a few but mostly Mopars but I have always admired the 302 engine not bad for a Factory Motor 290 horsepower at 5800 RPM and massive amounts of torque at even a lower RPM the shorter stroke of the motor allowed for different gearing to be used in those cars and get to the allotted amount of RPM quicker anyway I hope this has been some kind of help to you you are stay safe stay well and as always God bless

In the event you do have a bad cam, the stock cam for these engines are actually a decent little unit, I think both Howard’s and Crane make that cam still. IIRC it’s 222I/222E@.050 w/ .450”I/.460”E lift with stock rockers

I'm truly impressed some one your age knows how to rebuild a Holley. In my youth spent many nights at the kitchen table replacing power valves. ( they had issues with blowing when it back fires ) you made right choice with hei. The old Mallory stuff was top notch in the 80s. But we all found that the hei would actually burn hotter. Msd cap rotor your good to go. I've had multiple Camaro and chevelles over the yrs. Going back to the mid 70s till now. And the 70 -73. Camaro is always my favorite. Great find just enjoy it and not be concerned with opinions of those who dont have one. Lol. We used to refer to that color as rootbeer brown. Lol

Who gives a care what people think let them think what they want since they obviously don't know what they are talking about anyway. Anyway If you take those bumperettes off you will have a bolt hole in the bumper that you will have to put a carriage bolt into but if you just remove the whole bumper leaving them on and replacing it with a 71 bumper it will look much better or even get the RS split bumpers and that will look even better

this is a Norwood Ohio car. you won't find a build sheet in most Norwood cars, the had better paper disposal processes at Norwood than Van Nuys California (LA) built cars. in the LA cars the line workers just stuffed the build sheets where ever they could. they basically used the cars as rolling garbage cans. Norwood didn't to that. I have had 2 - 76 Camaros, a 75 Camaro and my current 71 Camaro. my 71 Camaro and one of my 76 Camaros had build sheets on top of the gas tank and under the carpet on both cars. My 76 LA car also had one stuffed up into the wiring under the dash and one under the drivers seat in the springs. my 75 and 76 Norwood cars didn't have any build sheets at all.

I bought almost that exact car in 1974 as a leftover & mine did come stock with those front bumper-etts. Mine did not have stripes stock, I had them painted on later. I still have the stock shift ball with the lift up reverse. Also mine came with z/28 emblem on rear spoiler. Also on horn button. Mine had Black interior. Very nice car & your car is very cool. I eventually traded an old 2001 RK Harley for another 73’ Camaro. Which I was kind of happy that mine is just a Camaro, & not a z/28 because I can do anything to it & not feel like I’m ruining a historic car. You have a great car in exceptional shape, it is amazing. Keep us all posted! Thank you!

Had a 73, black vinyl over white with black stripes. Black guts. Great car wish I still had it. 73 was the first year you could get AC in a Z28. Great find! Good luck!

Awesome car and story. Definitely a car you want to pass on to your kids. I have a 1966 GTO I got when I was 19, 33 now and my son loves helping me work on it. I/he loves knowing that it will be his one day.

G'day Ryan, first time seeing one of your videos, thanks for your efforts! Here in Australia, stp released a product called "tune up", it was basically for sticky lifters, a free up agent if you like. Any motor that has sat for a period can have these problems, I've always found it usefully. Cheers mate and good luck!

It does happen cars are left for years and years and years . Most times it could be just a small issue needs fixing. I found my 1969 AMC AMX 390 Go pack with every available options that sat under a carport and cover for over 20 years. Only rust on car was surface rust from moisture from the stupid car cover. The original 390 had been rebuilt .040 over by a Master engine builder before storing 20 years ago. I took down to bear metal and repainted original hunter green color. You did a great job on the paint rehab. I'm also shocked how well it came out. It takes special people to have the vision and guts to keep these works of art on the road and not hidden in barns.

Nice! Make sure to add a zinc additive to the oil everytime you change it. Todays oils are made for older cam shafts and they will go flat. Im sure you know this but just making a suggestion. Good video!

Yeah I was going to say to replace the entire exhaust. Headers too. They make better products now. Timing chain assy. Your doing this right. No sense in messing with some of the old stuff when you should replace. Check the alternator. Starter. We use Napa parts mostly. Less trouble. Looking good. 👍

Swap out your PCV valve if it's anything but metal. It can crack and have debris fall into the valves. That would suck out loud.

My grandfather is giving me a 78 thats been in the back yard for 17 years. This past Saturday, we went out and started it and it ran just fine and moved. I'll be putting it on a trailer and taking it home in a month or so. Mom bought it new, went to her brother, back to mom, to my grandfather and now me so its been a family car lol. Around 100k miles.
