so my dad's birthday is coming up in a month and I want to get him something. He is the origional owner of an all origional 1977 Z28 Camaro. I wanted to get him some replacement stainless steel plug wires that he probably bought 20 years ago as well as a rebuild kit for his rochester carb. I have looked around but cannot seem to find a good forum to find info about the motor on or really know of any good places to look for parts/vendors. I want to try and do this without asking him too. I know his plans this year are new plugs/wires, replace header gaskets, carb rebuild kit, as well as a MSD distributor. anyone know of any good places to find these things at?

here is a picture of it:

 

You might try Original Parts Group. They have a lot of the classic car parts for old GM muscle cars. Otherwise JEGS may have some of the stuff he wants.

 

i know NOONE ive found has that decal on the side of the grille. it was a special decal only for 1977 z28.


anyone have any recommendations on the distributor?

 

im putting this stuff here so i dont forget since im at work:

CK142 carburetor kit for Rochester Quadrajet M4MC and M4ME

Taylor 91002 Taylor Full Metal Jacket 8mm Wire Sets

Taylor 80602 Taylor Street Series 8mm SST Shielded Wire Sets

 

See if he will let you borrow that some wed or fri night.

 

haha i dont think he has ever taken it to the track. would be cool though. its just a thrill getting to cruise in it though. just gotta decide on a few things though for this year.

i know he wants the plugs/wires/rebuild carb kit for the rochester quad. suspension needs a little freshening at least in the rear to raise it up a bit its sagging pretty good, but its like a lowering kit lol. he still has the origional wheels but needs tires so either the BFG muscle car radials or getting some nice new wheels and tires while keeping the origionals.

im trying to talk him into some billet specialties like these or something:

 

Try year one for the grille decal, they can come up with some obscure stuff!!!

 

thats where i got the replacement front seat cover's they were pretty good quality. i may have found it at classic industries, they said it went obsolete in 1990 after only being made for the red/black z28 models in 1977. 75 bucks for a tiny thing dang lol.
