Re: ANY KANSAS PEOPLE!
Hello all. New here so I thought I'd say hi. I'm from Merriam, KS and have owned my 92 RS since 1996. I drove her on the Hot Rod Power Tour in 1999 and did the whole long haul. The greatest experience in my life. The 305 TBI only has 108,000 on it, but I will soon be pulling it out because a friend is giving me his 94 LT1 complete with NOS so I thought it was time for a change. I plan on using alot of useful info from these boards on the swap.

Re: ANY KANSAS PEOPLE!
Hey, street,
Many thanks, but a trip to KC's Pick and Pull on Monday eliminated my needs (found them in the first car I looked at). I bought two of the following: Baffle, Air Lwr Otr LH 14079873 and RH 14079874 for $1.99 a piece. Great shape.
BTW, you can search the company's inventory which makes things very nice.

Re: ANY KANSAS PEOPLE!
I'm in Gardner, KS now. People still ask me if I'm going to turn the Berlinetta into an IROC...
??? No. just because there arn't many Berlinettas around...

Re: ANY KANSAS PEOPLE!
I live in Gardner, KS and have a 1985 Camaro Berlinetta. I had problems with the intake manifold and the repairman took off the environmental stuff and didn't put it back on. Now i have problems. In park the engine runs fine, revs up great but when I put it in drive it accelerates terrible. Can you help me or know someone who can?
Thanks,
Paul

Re: ANY KANSAS PEOPLE!
I live in Gardner, KS also. I have a 1985 Camaro Berlinetta. I had a repairman work on the intake manifold. He took the environmental off and didn't put it back on. Now I have big problems. In park the engine revs up great but when I drive it down the road it runs terrible, very bad acceleration. If you can help or know someone who can please call me.
Thanks,
Paul

Re: ANY KANSAS PEOPLE!
James, we would love to come, but I've got the car under the knife. The 8.8 rear end build has started, so my Z isn't moving until its finished. If all goes well I'll have it rolling in May.....maybe we'll come in the 2wd K5, it's kind of show worthy.
