Re: What is the difference between an F vin & E vin?
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

Re: What is the difference between an F vin & E vin?
This is info I saved years ago...
Vin Number Decoding & General Info
The VIN is the Vehicle Identification number.
The VIN Number breakdown for specific year Camaros is located under each year Camaro information as the information contained in the VIN changes from year to year. The VIN on the 1967 Camaro is on a stainless steel plate rivited inside the drivers door jamb. All other models have the VIN located on a plate visible through the windshield on the drivers side dash panel.
1st digit: Country of origin: 1 = USA, 2 = Canada.
2nd digit: G = General Motors
3rd digit: Division, 1 = Chevrolet.
4th digit: Restraint system:
A = Non-passive, B = Automatic belts, C = Inflatable restraint
5th digit: Series: P = Camaro Sport Coupe, S = Camaro Berlinetta
6th & 7th digit: Body Style: 87 = Sport Coupe
8th digit: Engine : See specific year (camaro info) for breakdown.
9th digit: Check digit - used to verify that the VIN was recorded correctly.
10th digit: Year: B = 1981
11th digit: Letter indicating assembly plant
L = Van Nuys, California, N = Norwood, Ohio
12th through 17th digits: Sequential production number starting with 100001.
