uhm...between the years of 1982 and 1992...the hoods changed somewhat. Which one are you looking for? the one with the funny vents in the front? the ones with the power bulge? something else?

There is a powerbulge hood in the "free camaro parts"thread.I think I will stick with my gta hood.It sounds like he will sell it for a good price.

I heard differently on this board. Are you sure?

I'd love a powerbulge but never thought it would fit right.

Whenever you switch a hood it's going to have to be fitted,just like a new fender or any other body part.Some pieces just fit better than others.

I'd consider offloading my OEM Firebird hood if I could find a powerbulge in good shape.

No help... sorry.

Yes, any 82' - 92' Hood will fit! They are all interchangable. As stated they may need to be adjusted as that on the Firebirds there is many factors for adjustments due to the popup type of headlights.

Also, is this another part of it?

I wouldn't need that part for my car, would I?

I don't see it as working really well with the TBI...

You don't "need" it no...it was designed to work with the WOT system on the HO engines (Seen those air cleaner housings with the hole on top? Yeah it works with those).

I don't see why you couldn't just put that grill piece in and leave it open. It could theoretically work well with an open element air cleaner.

For reference as to what kind of air cleaner I was talking about when referring to the HO engine air cleaner on firebirds/TA's, I've linked an image I've uploaded here before.

Thanks!

I took the setup off of my 84 l69.I had an open element and the open scoop pulled in air like a cowl hood.I loved the setup.
