Thx for info on ZDDP. Got a lot of learning to do on this T-6. Long time SBC user. Now if I can just find the idle/mixture adjustment and the Holley 4bbl....... Sam

why the ZDDPlus? New to the Turbo world. Sam

I will be in the Atlanta area for most of the month of april. Anyone around who can talk Turbo?? I am just starting to learn the ins and outs of my '84 El Camino with a GN engine. Gets a good bit of attention here in S.W. Florida. Sam

Hello again. I am not exactly new, since I have been watching, and reading for several months, but I just got my T-6 El Camino up and running, and is it ever a Kick in the Butt!! Thanks to a lot of Tech advice from J.D. and a few others, (Ed et al), as well as a lot more $$ than expected...

Dash Got a full cover from "El Camino Store". Does a very nice job. Original was way beyond repair.

Finally just about have the T6 El Camino up and running. Grafting the GN Engine harness/ECM to an '84 Elky frame harness almot proved too much. Tach is still not right. Many thanks to J.D, and Ed locally for patience and advise. Check: www.84elkybuildprogress.shutterfly.com Pix follow...

The T-6 Elky, "Sleepy Hauler" is almost ready to get on the road. Still bouncing between electronics, interior, muffler, and mechanical shops. 6 months, and a lot more $'s than I would like to admit to(esp. to wife). The site: http://84elkybuild.shutterfly.com The progress to a point...

Looks really good. Now I want to get up, hobble down to the shop, and get mine up and running. Wll have to wait at least another month. Got anymore pix?? Sam

Engine Rebuild A Vinyl sticker survived on the Turbo Shield?? I thought that thing got to be 1200 degrees or so. Just left mine to be Jet powder coated. Wanted to do a little color, but Black was all that was available in High heat. The wiring harness has a connector for 2 fans, but only...

Engine Help TurbuRick, Thanks for the reply. Any idea on the fans? One or two. All I have seen have two, but one supplier says one big is all that is needed. Sam

Hi Gang, I am building an '84 El Camino powered by an '87 T-6. No badges except a small "Turbocharged" tag on rear tailgate (so they know they ' been had'). Motor was supposed to be supplied as a turn-key, but was far from it. Will not give names at this time. As I assemble the rest of...
