Thanks for the tip mate. I also did the Firebird fuel supply and breather lines in 10mm copper. At the time I wasn't sure if that was legal for the MOT, but searching the internet it seems it's OK.

Camaro had a bit of welding done today. Thats all the welding it needed. Next is to fit the lower control arms and get the axle back on. Still a while off from starting it. One day it will get there. lol.

Changed the plugs today.and got a knocking noise not sure yet how to get round it the handbrake cable coupler is knocking on exhaust.

That's a bummer. Any way you can loosen the clamps and adjust the exhaust position slightly higher or lower and run the cable the other side of it maybe?

Good idea will if the chassis rails weren't in the way. Did try ref the exhaust but the 3 bolt flange to the headers have bean welded so can't rotate the exhaust but if I could that would of worked as it only beads rotation by about an inch or would that be 10 degrees or moving 5 minutes if looking at a clock face lol. Any more ideas that might work????
Could you lightly jack the exhaust to get it to tuck up nearer to the body? will there be enough flex in it?

On the subject of plug changing, I only see four plugs in your pic! I thought it might be a V6 at the very least!

4 per side makes 8 lol
And yes both sides have been change plug gap set bit of copper greese on threads.
No flex on exhaust as ranchero and will have said looks like I will have to break the exhaust down and refit or put up with it.

Other than repositioning the exhaust somehow, what about fitting some sort or pulley or quadrant on a bracket bolted or welded to the chassis or floor for the cable to pass over?
Some cars use this method in production.
Side pipes will fix it.
