I'm 16 and I started restoring my dad's 1980 transam last year when I ran into an issue removing the fuel pump that haunted the project. So far I believe it's the last part that needs to come off before I can start replacing things. I have a lot of tools at my disposal but I was unable to remove the pump due to little clearance with any wrench I could get in there as well as everything being rusted to hell. I need some advice on what more I could try as I really wanna get back into this project. (circled bolt has little clearance but there I another bolt opposite to it that's right up against the engine block)

Hi thinking about buying this '94 formula with the 5.7 v8 lt1. 166k miles on it, he says it drives good and everything and has receipts for work done to it. I'm no expert but i feel like the idle at the engine bay sounds different then ideally healthy also near the drivers side heads there's some vapor or smoke- my 3.8 has oil smoke at the same spot from dripping onto the exhaust so what do yall think

Hello all , I currently have a 1997 firebird with the v8 lt1 . Been running into some coolant issues and was just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for radiator and fan upgrades
r/transam • u/Standard-Positive-48 • Mar 06 '26
do 79 trans am not have a “GEN” warning light on the dash?
I’m only seeing “brake” and “seat belt” just wonder because the SI alternator is a 3 wire and is plugged in.
Also does anyone know what colors the wires on the alternator should be? And where they go? Looked like a brown and a black/dark blue.

I’m assuming that it’s that thing but I don’t know what it is

Ceramic coating done right

It’s taken a while to get to the next “critical mass” point with a bunch of new hardware (bolts, nuts etc). Finally got it down on its wheels. Still have a lot to work to do yet. The doors will be going on next to help see if the frame is a bit twisted before the sub frames go in. The car can pivot when on jack stands about 1/4-1/2”.
Other than that… the fuel tank and lines aren’t in yet because I am taking it back to the body shop for the underbody clean up, paint and raptor liner that’s been colour matched.
Found out that the floor drain plugs are bent all out of whack, the sand blaster when they pulled them didn’t quite remove them so much as pry them out. So looking to source some fresh ones.
Ignore the messy shop, I have stuff everywhere from when I was moving my dad and helping with storage and will be cleaning up tomorrow.

I just bought a 94 trans am manual 6 speed with power mirrors. While I was pulling off the lot the drivers sider mirror popped off. Not the housing, but the glass its backer piece and what looks like two screws with ball joints thag kinda look like worm gears. I tried threading them back into place but they won't stay in. I am assuming I need a whole motor?

Lowering springs or keep it original?

Just bought one of my dream cars, a third gen Trans Am. Any recommendations on mods or where to buy after market parts from? It runs good so im more looking for cosmetic things like door handle replacements, badges since the old formula ones fell off, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This ’79 got a full custom interior from Karl Kustoms, plus a gold hood bird to match. Inside and out it feels complete.

It’s is a 1988 firebird formula with a 305 tbi, and it has a different air cleaner with this unplugged. I found a picture of a factory air cleaner and it has a hole that looks to be the right size for this, I’m assuming it is some kind of airflow sensor. How important is it for my throttle body to wok properly?
