Re: 4.3 ltr swap to camaro/firebird
check plug wires, then check compression, then check fuel. a good way to make sure that you have pressure is to turn the car on for about five seconds, turn it off, then push in on the check valve on the fuel rail. any other questions, just ask.
oh, and a haynes manual is nice. chiltons suck, dont get one.Team NoVa
