here is my car

 

another one

 

another

 

 

 

 

Looks pretty good. By the way, were those pics taken in NC? I aske because it looks WAY to green to be tucson.

 

it is fayetteville North Carolina

 

My car is still better!!! HAHA!

 

we have real trees in Arizona!?!?

 

NOPE, sorry no trees in AZ. The pictures are from North Carolina!

 

That interior looks pretty clean, so does the rest of it. It's a base model firebird, no formula. All formula's came with the aerowing spoiler. The motor looks like a$$. Once you get it back here I'd be glad to help you out Amber. How and when are you planning on having it back here? Im not too sure the base models came with a 9bolt rear or even if 9bolts came with 2.73. Probably just a good ol 10 bolt w/ 2.73.

 

we are hoping to have it here soon because jet is going back to the desert in november so we want it here before then,but we are trying to get it here before you leave.Ya the engine is not in that best of shape but the rest of it is.We realized it was not a formula when we looked up the vin,his dad to us that it was a formula.

 

Yup it's time to go back to that wonderful sandox. Don't worry Eric, when we get the car here, I'll let you know. I'm can't wait to work on it.

 

I got plenty of firebird parts and carburetor parts if you guys need of for the car. just let me know when I can help.

 

hey eric what type of parts do you have right now anything is better then what i got:hail:

 

I have a modified holley 600 carb, 34 mm sway bar, some interior pieces, firebird guage clusters, dash's, umm just a bunch of msc. stuff. cant really think of it all. IF you want to PM me a list of things you might need I can go check the stash.

 

Nice to see an interior that's not all sun rotted out.

 

Yeah, I just have to clean up the engine. It's a mess!

 

So was it orig a TBI motor and now carbed or did you put on the serp pullies?

 

it was a tbi but the owner took that out and put in a v6 and then put in the v8 that it has now, and now we have no idea what the engine size is in it as of now.

 

Are you going to leave it as-is or put in a new engine?

 

hopefully as is i love the sound of it but we dont know how bad the engine is or what it has been threw.

 

Put an open element aircleaner on it. It'll help out alot, and sound louder too.

 

i was looking at one of those

 

I used the K&N 14x3 drop base one. Also put on a 1" carb spacer. Helped out alot and was one of my 1st mods.

 

cool thanks i will do that when i get it out here

 

Make it louder with an open element, the only thing its going to do is make a sucking noise. Also without a cowl hood its going suck in hot air from the motor. Once you get it back here we'll get it running good.

 

Compared with the stock aircleaner, an open element will make it louder at WOT when the secondaries open up. The stock boxes are designed for quiet operation.

 

do you think that a formula hood is better to have or a ram air hood for the engine?

 

Both do the same thing, just differently. Get what you like best.

 

The Formula Powerbuldge Hood has timeless looks. The ram air hoods are ok but dont quite fit the lines of a Thirdgen Firebird. 2" cowl hoods look better then the ram air hoods IMHO, if you are planning to spend 400$ on a hood.

 

were did you find that hood?

 

The only one I've seen is $900 on Hawks.

 

I got my harwood 2 1/2 for $100. It pays to know people.

 

That figures. I don't get that lucky Eric.

 

I'm glad Eric got that hood cause then I got his power bulge hood

 

Heh yeah, hows that hood holdin up? All I got right now is a stock firebird hood off my firebird. We can always cut a hole in it and stick a pro stock hood scoop on it for ya Amber.

 

as funny as that may sound,it is better then what i have right now.

 

That's not very nice Eric. First your try to give her your dysfunctional carb, then you try to get her to go Jonathan on the hood.

 

It was pretty funny though!

 

 

oh snap, who converted it to carb? I bet they did it wrong, don't see a 3 port regulater anywhere in that engine bay. I have an assload of carb parts. The first thing you need is a chrome 14X3 cleaner. I have like 4 of those extra.

 

We are not sure if it was converted or if someone put a different engine in there. Once we get it out here we can take a better look at it.

 

bah i didnt read this whole damn thread


91formulababe, nice looking car butttttt....

in your sig it says youre gonna get p235 tires? why so damned narrow...

 

i am sticking with the stock rims for right now which is 15 inch rims and that is as big as i can go on them

 

LOL, well, as nice as the Open Element filters are, I must say I have learned my lesson on using them. Especially here in AZ during the hotter parts of the year. Actually slowed my car down. Winter time more than likely it'll be back on, or when I get my SS hood, whichever comes first. Just head this warning, and refer to THIS THREAD when you install your open element.

And ohh yeah, CLEAN looking car! :yourock:

 

i want it more for the sound i have to do to much to it right now for it to race.

 

ah ok...


i just thought it seemed wierd because my 74 only has 14 by 6 rims and i got p245's on them

 

They actual fit on those little rims???
