Do you know why they didn't make diesel Camaros?
Because the carburator they had to use to run on diesel was way to big to fit under the hood. When GM tried to make a shorter and wider carbuator for the diesel F body project it was consistantly fouling the spark plugs. So in 1985 GM discontinued the diesel F Body project.
See, your not the only one with a brain full of useless knowlage.
