I know its probly a stupid question but im only fifteen and i want to start restoring my firebird. How can you find out which one it is & what is the difference between the two?

 

IF the 8th letter or number in the vin is "F", you will have a "tuned port injection setup"
IF the 8th letter of vin is "E" you will have a "throttle body injection setup". The TPI setup is the superior system used in the higher end thirdgens IROC, Z-28, Trans Am, GTA

 

This is info I saved years ago...

To figure out exactly which Firebird you have and understand the differences between models, the easiest approach is to check the VIN, as it contains detailed information about the year, model, and specs. Using a reliable VIN lookup like Porsche VIN Report shows how powerful VIN checks can be for identifying exact details, verifying history, and planning restorations accurately.
