hey yall, im new here. I just bought an 87 firebird. now im no expert on f bodies at all. im a corvette and G body man. but i know that in 87 they used carbs, butthey were CCC's. the car i have has a carter carb on it. nowwhere the firebirds also computer controlled as far as the carbs? and used a quadrajet? or what?? Also does any1 have a diagram as to how all the emissions stuff gets routed? car also has none of the emissionsstuff, and i need to reinstall all of it to pass inspection. Thanks - Roger

 

I thought that 86 was the last year of carbs on production f body cars.

 

no clue man, i know nothing aboutthe f body cars. ha. but i did find a couple 88's on ebay with carbs.

 

i though you could get a carb up tp 1990, anyhoo, good luck finding and replacing all the emmisssion stuff and the wiring that goes with it. its a real messy situation

 

he didnt say he removed the wiring, just the carb, and the smog pump. from the pics everything else looks intact.

 

1987 was the last year model that the F-body had carbs.
Other car models (not F-bodies) were available with carbs thru 1990.
BTW, my '88 has a carb, because like those on ebay, it has had the engine changed.
The 87 birds used a CCC Q-jet unless it was a Canadian car. Then it's anybodys guess.
Good luck rounding up the emmision stuff.
It would probably be easier to ship it down here to Alabama where we don't give a rip about the emission and buy another car.

 

well, i dont have to tag or insure this car. i bought iot for a drag car. and iwas gonna part it out. but it looks so damn mean with the scop it has on it, i wanna drive it a tad till im ready to start destruction on it. if its gonna cost too much ot get it to pass inspection, (visual) then im nogonna worry bout it. - Roger
