The Camaro has been doing 90 miles a day taking me to work and back without too much hassle, apart from when we had a week or so of freak weather and it was raining so heavily it was a struggle to drive at 30mph on the motorway. The car got so wet that the optispark distributor got soaked and was misfiring and popping through the exhaust. It cleared up once it dried out a bit but it’s had an occasional miss ever since.

I moved the air intake up higher as it was wet when I checked it, and did a week of logging and tuning which smoothed it right out but I still have the miss. I’m 99% sure its the distributor, but as it’s a pain in the ass to change and quite expensive I decided to fit the MSD box that I had waiting for it and see if it sorted it. It has cleared it up quite a bit, but it’s still there so I guess I’ll have to just get on with it. It’s also had really bad steering and was eating front tires. After a lot of checking I found the idler arm was worn and it was moving to an inch of toe out from being slightly toe’d in when set up. With that done, it’s a lot better but I’m swapping the rubber bushings for poly ones and getting it set up again.
