Got a 78 Z28 camaro that needs all the rubbers in the control arms subframe body mounts leaf spring mounts etc , basically any thing rubber needs replaceing . This is not a problem igot a master replacement kit from energy suspensions and its all good . The problem is i have no torque specs 4 tightening to after the new poly peices are installed ,sheets say torque to factory specs which i dont have. tried local gm dealer but car is to old (no manuals)..Is there a web site where i can get this info ? As always thanks alot bake

Buy a Hemmings Motor News magazine and look thru the classifieds. There are lots of restoration companies specializing in Camaros and Mustangs, so the literature is out there.

I don't see that there would be much difference between similar suspensions as GM doesn't reinvent the design every couple of years. A lot of the design stuff is 50 years old

im fairly sure ive seen a haynes manual at canadian tire for the 2g camaros/firebirds. try checking out a canadian tire to see if they have any hanyes manuals for ur car in stock. that would have the torque specs for sure.

PG29 is right. I have the Manual he Mentioned and it has all the torque spec's.

I'll get on the crappy tire thing next time in toon town . the car is nothing special no fancy electics or anything which is ok less to screw up .The acr is painted a burgundy peral which is kind of cool cause in the sun it looks red & in the shade it looks kind of purpleish . Working on the suspension thing now & then i hope to have the engine in & running be fore xmas. I wanted it going in summer but to many S/Ds got in the way .Thanks again & merry xmas & happy new year .later bake

Sounds similar to mine.

I've got power windows and mines original paint black with gold and tan stripes and a stinger hood.

I'll miss that hood when the big block goes in and I have to put a 3 or 4" cowl on it.

I am currently saving up for the same suspension kit.

I picked up my set at parts source for 300-350 which was down from the winter when it was closer to 400 . Gota love the dollar . Hope u are tooled up pretty good cause in my case the bushings were oem and rusted in bad , nothing a little brute strength & ignorence wont take care of . the 2nd side will go better cause i have little pullers made up now . Good luck and drive that machine . I'm hoping to have a new 455 in & running by Xmas . Later & merry Xmas to everyone on the board Bake
