Just gotmy self a 89 350 TPI w/ disk brake rear & Posi :)

So i ended up tracing the 86 for a 84 s10 lowered primered gay about 2 months ago or more( 2nd gear finally blew out too on the car so i let it go.) Now i just traded the s10 blazer for an 89 iroc hard top 350 TPI With the Borg (sp?) 9 bolt posi disk rear end very nice car but it has alot of little **** to do and a paint job the damn Vats is acting up so im going to bypass that asap heres some pics the car actually has alot more clear peeling then the pics looks like it has but the TPI drives as fast as it looks

Ohh and flowmasters
Its the Red one is mine the green one is the sellers 91 305 tbi 5 speed

No problem man are you having a problem with vats or do you just want to know what it is? Im not shure if you have it in your i had an 86 and mine didnt have vats in it. But its basicly a silent alarm when you put your key in the ignition if it has the black chip looking thing in it it goes between 2 metal prongs, brushes ( some sort of metal touching both sides of the chip. this information is sent to the ecu or vats box ? im not positive but either onme read the information and if the resistance in the key matches that in the ecm or vats box your car will start if not( of if you have the common problem of the wire breaking on the lock cylander orany other vats problem the ecm sees the wrong resistance and locks out your starter (it might lock out more but i know when mine was tripping the car just wont crank period).

Pretty sure? The black chip in your ignition key is the dead giveaway.
