<![CDATA[Need some help with my old TA]]>Anyone know any good shops that could help me diagnose the problems with my 79 Trans AM. It has a Olds 403 with a bunch of mods that just isn't running right. I need the opinion of someone who knows something about these engines. Any help would be great, cause I am really confused and depressed that this car I have a ton of money into, just won't run right.

Mike

Well I said before I am looking for a LT1 for it, so that will give you a idea of the body style. I figure this one I will keep to myself until its finished. 😄 But gotta sell the CRX first.

Did you degree the cam when installing it?

I didn't install it, was done by some shop the previous owner brought it to. I am guessing that it wasn't degreed or something. It wasn't driveable when I got it, so I couldn't really check the driving condition of it out, but it ran really good.

How much you selling it for, do you have pics of it, and also we need pics of the new camaro.

The camaro is my secret. 😄 No one is going to see it until the new engine is done, but I got to find another LT1, before I can start.

I hope I can get $2500 for the TA. Engine has like 2K miles on it, but as noted has the cam problem, has a performer intake, brand new headers, brand new true dual exhaust, all new ignition parts, and tons of other engine parts. Body is a straight rust free California car, minor damage to passenger fender and nose cone, but have parts to fix it. It just needs to be finished. Hell of a nice car and a really clean body.

Well, the problem has been narrowed down to the cam, it either set wrong or way to big. I don't have the knowledge or the money to deal with it, so I am just going to sell the car. I baught a new camaro anyways.

He is an older mechanic, works at a dealership... he has had a lot of TA's from those years and is restoring one right now. He knows a lot about them and would enjoy helping you out.
