Livin' the Stereotype

For your future reference, the V8 tbi F-bods have a letter "E" in the eighth space of the VIN number. The carb cars would be either a "G" or an "H". Carbs were no longer used after the TBI came out in 1988. The H.O. carbed 305 was disco'd in 1986.

By 1992 GM had eliminated the carbed camaros and firebirds!! Unless I'm mistaken 1986 was the last year GM put a carb on a camaro or firebird!!
