I had the same issue on my 96 w/Z51 package.
I found the rubber insulators were worn out and my shocks were moving side to side.

Radiator leak... new radiator en route. Took two and a half hours just to get the upper housing off. Man, those three little screws on each side are a bear to get to. Can't wait to try and put them back in!

If you think those are bad, wait until you have to do a brake booster or heater core replace.

Getting ready to take the steering column apart to see what parts I need for the loose tilt wheel. Goes down and to the left when you pull back on it.

I've had that same coolant smell that was undetectable. I noticed however that it was more prevalent after the engine had been running for awhile.
What I found was where the cap (radiator) attaches to the expansion tank the neck would turn when removing or replacing the cap.
This is not supposed to move and will cause a coolant odor without showing any sign of a leak.
I purchased a NOS at a great price and will be installing soon.
I did double check it and since it's been so cold I tried to turn the cap and the neck didn't move. I then idled the engine to operating temp and tried to turn the cap and wa la the neck turned.

My wiper arm spring popped off on my driver's side, and I don't want to spend $100 for a wiper arm.... Think an arm for a 1991 Camaro would fit?

Just today while letting the car idle in garage it started running real rough. Backfired put exhaust very loudly and died. Tested for spark, and nothing. Started with the opti tests and everything looks fine there. I swapped out my MSD coil for the original 1993 coil and she fired back up immediately. I do have a heater hose leaking at the water pump also.
