update: The camaro is still in storage, look for updates on the cavalier. But I'm currently re-building the carburetor in hopes of better gas milage, so far I sealed up the 6 main and secondary metering well freeze plugs. The official EPA estimates based on a 1985 Camaro using their new method of testing in: city, highway, and combined are 14, 22, and 17 MPG respectively.
