Camaro Jacked Up

[Blue_Thunder]

I don't know I can see where the hole is in the block just a little ways up above the oil filter. I am assuming it has been plugged up because there is no oil coming out of the hole. I got a list of other problems with this car too from the original owners crack job of an engine swap. I have to find a new place to power up my shaved door handle button because right now the purple/Blue power wire is litteraly sticking into the fuse panel into one of the fuses As you can see in the picture. The button is on the left rear wheel well. the power wire runs from the fuse panel under the carpet and through a hole in the body to the wheel well. My gas guage and temp guage don't work at all. My speedo kind of floats a little while driving and my car runs rich. And I can't seem to find the knock sensor. Then agian it is a 74 350 CMj engine and I am sure whoever did the swap did not put the knock sensor in. You can also see I have a bit of a rust problem on the left front strut tower. Its rusting around the strut mount. How do I fix that?
Oh and if anybody wants to stop by my house feel free. I work 8-5:30 weekdays and I and free saturday and free Sunday after 2:00pm

Holy snikes batman....that car must have been hit in the drivers side front before judging by how far the strut bearing sits off center assuming the frontend alignmnet is correct.

I would have never believed it until I seen the pic....WOW. Thats......umm......pffff....ahhhhh..........LMAO! !!!!!
What an idiot! How did he expect to change the oil? Whats covering the hole where the dip stick is suppost to go?

[shawnc16]

chances are... when the guy swapped engines out. The dipstick was not the correct one, so being the redneck that he was.. he made a new hole to stick it in! haha rednecks are engineers i tell ya!

[Blue_Thunder]

Well I did the oil change today and all I had to do was take the fitting off where the dipstick goes into the L shaped tube and rotate the L sahped tube down. After putting new oil in it I checked under the car at the redneck dipstick fitting and nothing is leaking. Although the dipstick does not read correctly.
