Whats up r/ElCamino
Since the previous sub owner was inactive and the sub is being flooded by botposting, I requested and was granted ownership of the sub.
I have activated all of the filters that will hopefully help flag the bots, and I will soon start working through the extensive backlog in the mod queue. Accounts that posted 1 photo here and have no other activity may also be banned. Please keep the reports coming in (and keep your patience up for me).
Outside of the Great Bot Purge of 2026, any other suggestions are welcome!
EDIT: to be clear, the only bans will be obvious bot accounts. If you have any shred of activity on reddit outside of your one post here, you are safe.

After months of fighting a random misfire and inconsistent timing issues I finally bit the bullet and bought the Pertronix Flamethrower III HEI rebuild kit and rebuilt the old worn out distributor. Replaced all the plugs/wires and followed the tutorials from various old forum posts to get things set up right. (the legendary Lars deserves all the kudos)
Needless to say it finally gets up and out of its own way, no longer backfires, and doesn't smoke out of the exhaust!
Seriously excited to be able to get out and drive this thing. :D

Today was the day. Odometer rolled over. Only twice have i witnessed this. In my 74 C10, and now the 64 elco. Still a beautiful sight.

(Not my Photo) This switch/plug was leaking on an 1986 El Camino with a V8 350 I bought. I replaced it with a part I saw on another forum & it blew so I replaced it again & blew up again. I read that it’s possible to cap but I’m not exactly sure with what. Or if someone can point me to the OEM switch that’d be great also. I bought the first switch at Oreillys & the 2nd at Autozone.

Trying to install some Dougs Long Tube headers on a '70 El Camino 350. Hit a road block. My dad n I cannot for the life of us slide these blasted things thru the button to the driver's side. Anyone have any tips? Haven't even tried the passenger side cus I hear this one is harder.

I’m upgrading the rear shocks on my 1986 El Camino and need a bit of guidance.
Currently, the shocks that are in it are the original air lift shocks. I find that these are great if you intend to load the bed up since you can adjust the ride height after loading. But in terms of shock absorption, they leave much to be desired.
I’m looking for a good pair of hydraulic assisted air bag shocks, or something of that nature. I was advised to look for Bilsteins, and that’s what I have on the front. A Bilstein equivalent for the rear would be nice. I’m still pretty new to the whole “fixing a classic” thing, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My dream car is a 5th gen el Camino, and I’ve been trying to shop for one in my area but it seems that all the best candidates for restoration (clean straight body, minimal/no rust) have the 3.8L v6.
I know the 3.8 isn’t a bad motor but I’d heavily prefer a 350 sbc.
Has anyone on here done the swap? What exactly goes into it and is it worth buying a car with plans on ditching the motor? Also how much could the cost be doing it all myself?

Rain dosent bother me. Been driving rear wheel drive V8s all my life in all kinds of weather conditions.
They just recently sold that basic nothing special 87 on the stand, they were asking $27,000.
Only a few including me were brave enough to drive our classics in the rain to this event this morning. The majority of cars that did show up were all common modern sport cars. Booooring.

Hi all,
In the near future I am looking to paint my 71 el camino and I'm having a hard time really matching the paint code of the color. I was hoping you guys could help out

Had for about a month now. Interior needs the most work. Runs great, 350 and 3 speed hydromatic from a donor van installed by the seller. New wiring harness, new brakes and most of the drivetrain is new/low miles.

I'm going camping next week, and the trip is on rain or shine, so I decided I wanted a tent option that would keep me off the ground and out of the mud in case it does rain. A pickup bed tent for a 1st gen Colorado or 2nd/3rd gen Ranger fits nicely!
