This is how the ZZ-4 looked after I "dressed it originally.
I completely replaced the ignition with MSD coil, cap, rotor, and 9.5mm wires....all in MSD RED!! Made a huge difference in performance too! Low and mid-range performance has greatly improved.
Come visit the Illinois Camaro Club's web page at: www.illinoiscamaroclub.org and see tons of beautiful Camaros, (there's more pix of the Killer Tomato too! Look in the "Members Cars" section).
I want ot give a special thanks to Nancy....she owns A-CAR-TUNE in Crystal Lake. Without her support and the guys at the shop, (Dennis, Bill and Carlos), a lot of the "pleasure" of owning and maintaining my cars would be a PAIN!! THANK YOU!!
