How are all 3 different? I know the B4C is a police package...

 

The 1LE package included fog light delete,(usually came without any power options), aluminum driveshaft, dual catalytic converters, lower control arms, larger rotors, larger spindles, aluminum calipers with dual pistons, an 18 gallon baffled gas tank, and an aluminum spare tire. Not sure if im forgetting anything. It came out in 1988.
The WS6 package was basically a suspension package and came with larger sway bars, struts/shocks, fast ratio steering box, and 16 inch wheels. It came out in
The B4C package came out in 1991. It included over sized front and rear sway bars, a higher rated alternator, 4 wheel discs, power steering and tranny cooler, and a 145 speedometer.

 

Very useful, thanks! I just don't understand the fog light delete part.

 

it blocks the air going to the air fliters and is more weight.

 

The 1LE received huge front disks with dual piston PBR calipers. The gears in the manual trans were also differnt from stock to beat the mustang in the straightaways on road courses. 1LE's were almost allways hardtop...only a couple ttops were made for GM exec's. Most were also A/C delete and lacking all convienence items. Set up to race or be driven by the HARDCORE enthusiast only.

We race my dad's 1LE at soloII events locally and have lots of fun with it.

 

The B4C option was created for the RS hardtop in '91-'92 for law enforcement(similar to the 9C1 package for the Caprice/Nova/Malibu)and the contents of RPO-1LE were part of this package.

As 85Iroc-Z stated the contents of RPO-WS6 was a suspension package.Some years it also contained J65(4 wheel disc brakes)and some it didn't.It also dates back to the last years of the 2nd Gen('77 was first year I believe).

 

It shoudl be noted that a 1LE for Canada and 1LE in the US are different. a Canadian 1LE could have had every option imaginable, including AC, power windows, locks, T-tops etc.

Also note that the 1LE option was on all TTA's and on all the B4C police cars.

WS6 was suspension & steering related from 1985 or so & up. from 1982 - 1984 or 1985 WS6 included rear disc brakes.

1LE was related to the G92 option insofar as if you ordered the G92 option without AC then that would kick you into the 1LE package... I have seen several 1LE cars with leather, power options etc. Very few were made with T-tops, I believe Most of this has to do with fuel economy more than anything else.

 

Not all B4C cars were 1LE though. My 1991 is not. It was not introduced until mid year 1991. All 1992 B4C cars are 1LE.

 

I forgot about the B4C that it was not on all the cars.

I degress...

Let me go over my documents from my car when I bought it it had a ton of GM and Pontiac stuff as guy was original owner.

I will say this and I have it in writing from Pontiac. In 1991 you could order the SLP kit for your firebird and have it EITHER installed from Pontiac or do it yourself at home. Funny huh!. I know this will cause arguments, but I have the original letter. No woner only 26 were ordered!

Apparently, the majority of Canadian 1LEs were ordered as R7U "Player's Challenge" race cars.

I seem to remember the deal with the extra options was that you were suppose to race a new car each season. In order to keep the costs of down for the racers, it was intended that the old cars be sold at the end of each season (the roll cage was removable). In order to make the cars easier to sell as street cars, they were equipped with some options like a/c and power windows (also because the roll cage would have interfered with the window crank). I thought all R7Us (for a particular model year) had the same set of options though because GM wanted the cars to be a close to the same as possible?

 

Larger rotors and dual piston alum calipers, yes, but larger spindles? I'm not arguing since I have no personal experience, but to swap to 1LE brakes, I modified the stock spindle.

R7U was a package which was identical each year in 89-92. It included power windows, locks, delay wipers, tilt, etc. (No A/C). In 87-88, the cars with A4U could be had with no options or with 1SA or 1SB option packages (level 1 or two trim). When GM saw the differences in weights, ride heights, they standardized the package with R7U. In 1986, GM ordered all the cars in a batch - identically equiped.

... and yes the majority of Canadian 1LE cars were race cars. Very few non-Players cars were ordered.

Spindles were modified stockers. Rotors were Caprice units drilled with the correct bolt pattern. Early race cars had re-drilled caprice units!
