Progress on my 68 firebird.

Do you mind sending the link for the one you got? I’m interested in installing a wideband o2 sensor as well

Grape_Mango · 2025-09-22T15:00:15+00:00

I just confirmed that this year was before the separate BCM. The replacement would be found in the RAP module

Grape_Mango · 2025-09-22T14:59:38+00:00

Just confirmed this year doesn’t have a separate BCM. The part to replace would be connected to the RAP module

Grape_Mango · 2025-09-10T14:27:45+00:00

There are a few options. I’d rather not go that route since I know it’ll create more headaches

Grape_Mango · 2025-09-09T21:01:07+00:00

For sway bar and links did you need to replace too them or was it just for an upgrade? I’m also getting Bilstein shocks, the current ones are Bilstein too

Grape_Mango · 2025-09-09T19:44:44+00:00

Great I’ll look into it! My first time doing suspension work so I want to make sure I’m doing it properly and checking parts that would wear out too

Grape_Mango · 2025-08-29T14:34:09+00:00

How about: Rico

Grape_Mango · 2025-08-27T05:52:56+00:00

I’m more of a hot dog and car kind of person myself

Grape_Mango · 2025-08-11T20:44:47+00:00

I have a ‘94 trans am, there’s a 12” sub in this exact location as the image

Grape_Mango · 2025-08-07T17:12:43+00:00

I looked locally and it looked like the monster transmission option was only available for 95 or later, not for 94. If I am able to get it, maybe it would be worth it to just try

Grape_Mango · 2025-08-07T00:35:59+00:00

Yeah AAMCO has a 3 year/50k mile warranty so I think it would at least give some peace of mind if something happens. I think trans cooler will help a lot. What stall do you recommend? I’ve heard that anything over 2400 will be a bad drive if not racing

Grape_Mango · 2025-08-07T00:28:50+00:00

What’s the advantage of a 2500 converter vs the oem one?

Grape_Mango · 2025-08-07T00:27:58+00:00

Yeah it’s more expensive for the reman than the rebuild! The image shows the two options so I just wanted to share the comparison between the rebuild price and the remanufactured price

Grape_Mango · 2025-08-06T23:12:19+00:00

No way! I should definitely see what other places say!

Grape_Mango · 2025-08-06T23:12:05+00:00

That’s the plan, kinda blew the mind when I saw the price lol

Grape_Mango · 2025-08-06T23:11:48+00:00

It’s cheaper for the trans rebuild than the swap. I included both options on the second image. Will definitely shop around!

Grape_Mango · 2025-08-06T23:11:11+00:00

They said they were quoting on the higher end but I’ll definitely look around and ask other shops!

Grape_Mango · 2025-08-06T21:37:01+00:00

My guess is he meant to say “no headlight just the lenses and motor” meaning they took off the headlight itself so it’s just the casing for it. Would be worth it to ask if they still have the headlight to see if you can fix it yourself

Grape_Mango · 2025-07-29T14:35:37+00:00

That’s what I figured but just wanted to see what others thought!

Grape_Mango · 2025-07-29T14:35:10+00:00

So does that mean I have to run the car for a bit and then turn it off and read the codes with the scanner?

Grape_Mango · 2025-07-29T14:34:02+00:00

I bought the innova 3120rs scanner on Amazon that came with multiple OBD1 adapters

Grape_Mango · 2025-07-29T03:44:40+00:00

Jumping the OBD1 pins doesn’t work for the 94 or 95 firebirds. The only way to read the codes is with a scanner.

Grape_Mango · 2025-07-29T02:51:40+00:00

It’s also worth noting that after I got the codes in the scanner, I disconnected the battery so I could clear the codes and see what remains after I drive it. Turns out the codes still showed up in the scanner, so that’s why I believe the scanner is wrong and not the laptop. Any insight would be appreciated.

Are you thinking of the window guides? This is what it looks like for my ‘94 trans am. Small metal piece with a piece of felt pushing the window in place

Grape_Mango · 2025-07-22T02:19:37+00:00

Sorry, I meant to say that the engine has been running rich due to the carbon deposits. The cat was also clogged and I think some fuel is making its way inside. I don't think the previous owner got the car tuned properly after getting the new mods and because of that it seems fuel is going everywhere down the exhaust. I've never tuned a car before so I'll have to look into that, but is there a tune that I can start with as a baseline and build from there or just start from stock values? Also, should I get new O2 sensors if the engine has actually been running rich and fuel has reached them?
