Beautiful car! However in case you didn't know that is not a true "split bumper" as some call it (sorry!). There were two different front ends for '70-'73 Camaros, RS and non-RS. The RS (a.k.a. "split bumper") had round turn signals above the bumperettes, a urethane bumper surround around the grille, and re-enforced grille with vertical bumper strip up the middle. Non-RS had more rectangular turn lights that were under the full length bumper. It is somewhat common for people to put the RS bumperettes on a non-RS car.

RS SS on top, non-RS SS below

Rhaas2001 · 07-10-2013, 01:30 AM

thank you all and sorry its not a true spilt. but i still love it

Rhaas2001 · 08-15-2013, 08:37 PM

so update plus i could use some info and opinions, after fixing many issues i am thinking about going the ls7 route i talked about in another thread before i start traveling in her. but what are peoples thoughts of just running a holley efi set up? i am also going to change over to a 6 speed behind the bb and change the rear to a 4.11 12 bolt which should give me a cursing speed rpm of 1500 rpm. any thoughts?
