The fact that you have turned to mechanic in a bottle says you are in over your head. I advise you to SELL the Camaro while it is running, and you can make a quick profit.
Take that money and look for a better candidate to start with, something needing a little less effort for a first project so you can learn as you go, instead of having a garage queen eating at your wallet every time you turn around.
At this point, I would say you are going to spend a lot of money in an attempt to this car back to any semblance of reliability. You are better off selling it to someone who wants to swap the engine/trans out for something else. They can drive it home, can't they? That's good for $500 over what you paid for the car, if it didn't run when you got it. :lol:
