Re: 1983 Pontiac Trans Am Daytona 500




well my intake gasket blew on my 305. its time for the DCS renegade install.

I got two new crossfire injection fuel injectors arrived today from rock auto. I saved $160. I also sent my cfi renegade intake to be port matched.

the tbis are going to get rebuilt.

Hopefully your project had not gone missing to the point that you need to turn to Unsolved Mysteries for help.

Re: 1983 Pontiac Trans Am Daytona 500

We are just starting. The car was very well maintained until it was taken off the road 15 years ago. We are hoping to drain it and fill it with fresh fluids this weekend. Hoping she'll turn over.
