I have an 83 Trans Am i got new shorty headers on with no 02 sensor there is a coupling to add one but i dont know if my car had or has an ECM, it has a computer hook up under the driver side dash. can someone straighten me out here. i am getting a new carb can an ecm and 02 sensor help me out is there a chip you can get for them

 

was there an 02 sensor on the manifold you removed? Do you have a CC carb and dist?
----------
post some pics and we can help you identify what you have..

 

i believe the car did have an o2 sensor on the original engine hard to remember that was 8 years ago i blew the original.

 

its always had a Qjet on it with elec choke

 

is it a CC q-jet or not? CC dist or vac advance?

 

whats a cc dist? i dunno what you mean by cc, i believe everything is vaccuum though.

there was a vac advance between the y-pipe and headers but got rid of that too.

 

cc= computer controlled.. basically if you have a computer controlled carbed car the computer controls the timing via the distributor and fuel mixture etc. in the carb. I'm really confused what you mean by a vaccum advance between the headers and y-pipe.. a vaccum advance canister is part of a distributor... if you can post a few underhood pics that would make it really easy to tell.. basically all you're looking at is if the carb is computer controlled or not and if the dist is computer controlled or not.

 

if it isnt cc is it better to have cc?
