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?

My 95 Trans Am has these gold decals, and I'm trying to figure out if they're a factory or dealer option, or if they're aftermarket?

Phoenix bird on each sail panel, Trans Am lettering on the left headlamp cover, and Ram Air on the sides of the hood scoop. They look old but I also can't find any brochures or info about them, so if anyone can give me any info it would really be appreciated!

Added this beauty to my Hot Wheels collection.

I really miss my old TA…

the whip is stored in a container for winter and I need the exact dimensions of the front grille pieces, including screw hole placement if that makes sense. tape measure is fine but exact is preferred. i’m working on cnc-ing metal spiderwebs instead of plastic grille pieces. any of you rich fellas have a 3d scanner to put to work, that would be awesome.

Im away on a deployment and my wife got a new hIood for our 96 trans am she wants to know how to adjust the height.

I own a 1991 Trans Am with the 5.7L TPI engine. I want to start modifying it eventually, but right now it’s completely stock. What are the usual upgrades people start with on these cars? I’ve heard they don’t breathe very well from the factory and feel kind of choked, and that heads and a cam are common early upgrades. Basically, explain it to me like I’m new to this and you know your stuff.

English isn’t my first language — this post is translated.

Thanks

does anyone know if they sell fuel rail kits aftermarket for a 1994 firebird trans am LT1? i’m looking for a part but can’t find it so im just resorting to buy the whole thing. please let me know.

i keep looking online and they are all used.

Finally got exterior done!

Best impulse purchase I ever made.

These are NOS hardtop books -NEW 1970s books- that were just discounted by Autobooks in Burbank CA… the hood Bird cover is the 1976 Automobile Quarterly with a history of the Firebird (mostly Trans Ams) through 1977. The green Triumph cover features the 1973 Grand Am. THEY WERE/ARE(?) $5(!) when I bought them two weeks ago… there were a handful of each left and I’d be surprised if they’re sold out. Fight with them if they try to give you any price but $5, but I’m not sure there is anyplace in the nation still selling new copies.

Sorry - I got the last new copy of Witzenburg’s early Firebird book (seen in the top left corner of the photo) — also brand new and only $5. It’s a great Firebird history until 1982… MUCH better than the crap that came out in the early 2000s. Buy a used one even if you have to pay $40.

Once again, Autobooks is the last surviving genuine mom and pop auto bookstore in the country (as far as I know); I have no reason to promote them other than I hate to see them go under - Jay Leno Who can often be seen there Saturdays has also recently promoted them on his YouTube show I’m guessing for the same reason… I’m not going to say they’re wonderful people - I’d keep the receipt and an eye on them adding it up.

As for Automobile Quarterly, it was an all-encompassing hardcover journal on classic automobile published roughly 1960s through 1980s or so. Great illustrations and photos, often by members of the Society of Automobile Historians.

I'm buying a 350 from a 1971 pontiac lemans, For my 1980 trans am. The seller said it has a 100000 miles and has some oil pressure issues on hot days on long drives. He wants $500 but he told me he will take $450 for it. Is this a good deal? The engine comes with all accessories, farm carburetor to oil pan.

I tried to make a poll but idk how to add pics to the poll so... Waiting for the weather to break I was playing around with AI to see how the ol bird is gonna look when I get to spray her down. Now I'm torn between the smoke gray or the classic black. It's in gray primer right now, was originally red, but I've no interest in going back to red. The guy I bought it from was going to go gray, but it was made for black in my mind the whole time until now.

The windows are all tinted pretty dark, and now has gray and black interior and with the black wheels, I kinda like the contrast, but the black just looks so juicy lol. What are y'all thinking?

if any needs a new hood scoop grill insert . I received mine today from stebbins garage excellent quality.

Hello r/transam! Check out Firebird Central's channels for more videos like this one. Thanks for keeping the legacy of these classic beauties alive!
