Known issues with 1985 carb Iroc Z?
I am considering buying a 1985 Iroc Z. The owner says it has a 5.0 with a computer controlled carb. It has 103,000 miles.
It is a show car. He is a member of a classic car club I belong to. I just don't have any knowledge of the known issues or things to check on these cars.
I don't want to buy a car that will need a ton of work. Are there known issues I should check out or ask about?
Thanks

Re: Known issues with 1985 carb Iroc Z?
I have a 1986 LG4 (with the CC Carb) with 142k on it.
Trouble-free except for one ECM failure (erratic spark control).
That ended up being a bonus because I dropped in an L69 ECM (more aggressive timing curve) and wound up with a significant boost in torque!
