What kind of manifold is in a 1987 Camaro?

What kind of manifold is in a 1987 Camaro?

Most likely, your car is equipped with 87-up cylinder heads (in other words, your car is a 1987 or newer). If you look in any performance catalog, you will see that most manifolds are offered in both 86-earler and 87-up options, and the 87-up is always a lot more expensive.

How do you change the CARB on a Camaro?

Finally, run a line from the pressure port on the AFPR to the carb. Remove the hose that’s on the line going to the charcoal canister (remove the whole canister if you want), clamp a length of 3/8″ hose onto the end of the hard bent line, and rout it out of the engine compartment somewhere. Mine exits in front of the left tire.

How to change fuel injection in a Camaro TBI?

The first thing you will need to do is remove the old fuel injection system from the intake manifold up. On a Firebird or Camaro TBI, this if very easy, TPI takes a bit more. Once you have it off, clean the surface of the heads and lifter valley edges of all gasket material, taking care that no debris falls into the lifter valley or down the ports.

Where is the return line on a Camaro?

Again, which is better is mostly personal preference. Note that there are three lines from the fuel tank on the drivers side under the master cylinder. One is fuel delivery, one fuel return, and the other goes to the charcoal canister behind the headlights. The fuel delivery line is slightly thicker than the return.

What kind of engine does a 350 TPI Camaro use?

In other words, the 86-89 350 TPI engines used the 1227165 ECM, and so did the 86-89 305 TPI engines. The 90-92 350 TPI F-Body engines (Camaro and Firebird) used the 1227730 ECM, and so did the 90-92 305 TPI engines.

What kind of engine did a 1985 Camaro use?

The 90-92 350 TPI F-Body engines (Camaro and Firebird) used the 1227730 ECM, and so did the 90-92 305 TPI engines. The 1985 305 TPI engines used 1226870 ECM, which is the same as the 1985 350 TPI ECM (350 was only available on the Corvette in 1985).

Can a 305 Camaro be upgraded to 350?

Your car had engine options from the factory but only the 305 was available with TBI, when your car was optioned with a 5.7L 350 it came with MPI. So the problem we have here is that there is no prom made to go into your PCM from GM for an upgrade that is compatible with a 350.

What is the conversion kit for a Camaro?

It was designed around the 4th gen f-body oil pan. The center of this conversion is our engine mounts and crossmember kit. This mount kit includes new frame brackets that bolt-in to existing holes in the subframe.
