Quote from the FAQ:

---------------------------
Stay on-topic to each specific board/post and discuss Third Generation (1982-1992) F-Bodies (Camaros and Firebirds) only.
---------------------------

Grocery getters, even those with TPI, aren't third gens.

 

You can use either the 7165 which is the earlier 86-89 MAF setup, or you can use a 90-92 7730, which is map, it mainly depends on your harness but you can also repin them. What all do you have that you are working with ?

 

thanks for the help i was thing of buying a painless harness, would that work?


P.S kevinc, my car isnt a grocery getter its been deemed one of the top hotrod projects of all time and i respect the fact that this is a third gen board but my topic does relate to a third gen camaro

 

Yes the ultimate hot rod project of all time...the 1986 Grand Prix with a V8...


Playing this game, my neighbor's old '87 Beretta is "does relate to a third gen camaro" also.

 

Yes you could use a "painless" harness if you dont already have a stock harness, and cant get your hands on one reasonably, though a stock harness may be more useful to you since the "painless" ones are kinda stripped down and free of any of the a/c wiring, its your call, if you do get one i'd suggest getting the "extra length" model.

 

kevinc, i dont wanna start anything and i know my car isnt a 3rd gen fbody but i think it deserves better than being called a grocery getter, i came to this forum asking a question about the camaros harness an how it relates to a gbody. i didnt come here to make fun of your car so why do u do it to mine

 

OK, it's somewhere between grocery-getter and "one of the top hotrod projects of all time".


That g-body part is where you departed with the guidelines that have kept the signal:noise ratio here so favorable over the years. Boards trying to be all things to all people haven't done as well as this place.


Coming to thirdgen.org to make fun of thirdgens wouldn't be very productive.

 

Cant just leave an honest guy looking for some info be huh ?

I'd suspect he came here knowing that since the tpi setup was quite common in thirdgens, that those of us with thirdgens would be his best source for info. Though he may not be putting his specific setup into a thirdgen, there is quite a possibility that info shared in this post may help someone doing the swap into a thirdgen. Really now what did you help by giving him crap about the setup not going into a thirdgen ?

 

you read my mind z28 o and by the way i have a painless TBI harness and i was giong to compare that to the camaros harness and compare those 2 to my cars harness

thanks for the info z28

 

Hey Mikey I am doing this same swap in an 86 Grand Prix with the TPI out of my Formula. I have found a lot of useful information about G body wiring at www.montecarloss.com. Several people on that site have done similiar swaps. I hope this helps.

 

thanks man this is really helpful info just to let u guys now my dad owns a secon gen camaro its a 72 prostreet car

 

If you have any questions I would be happy to share info that I have.

 

bingo do you have an email address so it will be easier to contact you

 

I try to be lenient about these things (after all, my main racer is a '57 Bel Air with a 396). What I have heard from the Admins is the topic needs to be, at a minimum, "3rd gen related".

Swapping a TPI into a non-TPI 3rd gen, such as one originally carb'd, falls into the same catagory. If the information presented can relate to that, then the thread lives. If you insist on making a big deal about it being an '86 Grand Prix, it dies.

For the non-mods making a big deal out of it, there is a "Report this post" function available. Please use that rather than pick a fight on the Board.

Any further clarification needed?

 

BTW, PM and email are good ways to exchange non-3rd gen info. The buttons are below each post.

 

its all cool 57 kid i got all the info i neded so this topic is likely to die off
