Is there an easy way to identify the 1LE package? I bought a Firebird and think it just might be one of 46 1LE Formulas made.

Car: 1991 Formula
Engine: 350 firebreathing inches of Small Block Chevrolet
Transmission: A 700R4 that has trouble handling the formentioned 350.
I was previously under the impression that a 1LE car had no options but that isn't true. So the larger brakes sounds like a good indicator. But now you have me wondering about my 1991 Formula. My RPO codes are gone so what else will tell me?

Thanks, Garrett

Well, I found a site that lists the tell-tales of a 1LE car

Alum PBR calipers (4 wheel disks) larger on the front
Alum drive shaft
A/C deleat package (but you could re-add AC aparently)

Don't remember what else they said was in it.

I know for 92 at least one Formula 1LE had power windows.
