Hello I resently got a 1989 Camaro RS 5.0V8 TBI 5Speed with 85K miles on it. The body looks like new and its all stock sept for the rims/tires and the radio but I've ran into a few bugs. It seems to spit this black stuff out of the tail pipe and I just found out that the plugs are the stock plugs so are the wires. The driver door seems to hang a little lose. So what I really need to know ATM is

How do I get to ALL the plugs w/o breaking my arm And what on earth is the junk comeing out the pipe

(You wont belive how bad the plugs are)

Find some one with long skinny arms to help with the plugs, and the crap in the exhaust could be anything, from unburned fuel, oil, or even dead mice that at one time lived in the muffler.

what?
 
Plugs are fairly easy to get to, you might need a deep well socket.  New ones can be got at any parts store.  Might want to change all the filters and oil while you are at it.  All that should take about 2 beers and 1.5 hours.

I got all the plugs and the wires too now I had the tools I just had to get them from underneath. And it was unburned fuel comeing out the exhaust one of the plugs was bridged with gunk. I'll upload some pics of the camaro and the old plugs XD Oh and when I do can you tell me if i got ripped of for paying $5000 for it

Well the only things it needs now is to get the paint fixed, redo the interior, and work on the suspension

I found a repaint sticker inside the car so its an after market paint job and it some places it just like pealing away from the car in flakes.
And inside the car the top of the dash its badly cracked and the drivers seat is chewed up. The visors and the fabic on the ceiling is just disintegrating.
And the struts in it are just old.

Oh ya before i forget how do you get the shifter knob off of the shifter? It looks kinda like it was glued on

shouldnt be glued on, might have something to keep it from vibrateing off though. Some kind of a thread locker or something. When i took mine off i had to grab hold of that SOB and just turn. Took me A LOT to get it loose, and im by no means a small guy. Maybe try one of the strap wrenches on it if you have one.

it should be fine, if your really worried about it, you could use two of the wrenches, one on the shifter itself, and one on the handle, turn them opposite ways.
