Expert Answers about Pontiac Firebird


  • Replacement Fan Blade for 1979 Pontiac Trans Am For Clutch Application

  • Replacement Headlight Housings and Bulbs for 1996 Pontiac Trans Am
  • As long as your 1996 Pontiac Trans Am features 4 inch x 6 inch rectangular sealed lights, the Vision X Headlight Conversion Kit # VX-46 that you were looking at should work well as a replacement. These housings do not come with the needed 9007 bulb but it can be added with # VX-L9007. You will just need to cut off your existing headlight bulbs pigtail and wire it to the harness included with the housing using some quick-disconnects like # DW01899-1. These halogen lights feature multi-surface...

  • Will the Curt Trailer Hitch Part # C11117 fit a 1984 Pontiac Firebird with Dual Exhaust
  • I spoke to my contact at Curt Manufacturing and they stated that as long as the dual exhaust you have on your 1984 Pontiac Firebird was installed from the factory, then yes the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11117 will work for you. However, if it is an aftermarket exhaust I would not be able to confirm fitment as Curt trailer hitches are only designed to be used with factory exhaust. If you have an aftermarket exhaust you will want to reference the attached photo which will give...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendations for a 1985 Pontiac Firebird
  • The Derale transmission pan cooler # D14204 will fit a 1985 Pontiac Firebird if it has the 2.5 liter or 3.8 liter engine AND the 700R4, 4L60, or 4L60E transmission. You will not need a longer filter or spacer when using this pan cooler. In fact this transmission pan cooler fits most 1982-1999 model 4L60Es.

  • Magnaflow Cat Back Exhaust for 2001 Pontiac Trans AM
  • The Cat Back Exhaust system will bolt up to the catalytic converter extension pipe with no modifications needed. However, in order to remove the existing exhaust, cutting the over the axle pipe just to the rear of the axle will be required (unless you feel brave enough to lower the rear axle). The system uses clamps, no welding is required. For your convenience, I will include a link to the installation instructions. You can find the link below.

  • Electric Fan Kit Recommendation for 1981 Pontiac Firebird
  • Most people when upgrading either type of belt driven fan end up going with a totally electric setup as that's far superior to both. We don't have a way to upgrade a belt driven fan to a fan clutch setup but we can help convert to an electric fan which will cool better and free up horsepower. For that you'd want a fan kit with an electric thermostat like the Flex-a-lite Direct Fit LoBoy Electric Fan with Adjustable Thermostat Controller # FLX318. This comes with a thermostat so that you...

  • Does CTEK Multi Charger part # CTEK56353 Work Well for Vehicle and Motorcycle Batteries
  • The CTEK Multi Charger part # CTEK56353 that you referenced will work well on both a motorcycle battery and a vehicle battery. It has a setting for either battery so it will function perfectly for either application. I have this exact charger and use it on both a motorcycle and a vehicle and have found that it does a great job for both. If you left either of vehicle in storage with this charger on the battery you'd be totally fine.

  • Converting Older Flat Bar Hitch to Traditional 2 Inch Receiver on 1996 Pontiac Firebird

  • How to Choose the Correct Electric Winch for a Small Car Trailer
  • Choosing the correct electric trailer winch for your needs is a bit of a tricky task. The weight capacity of a winch will be affected by many factors such as the weight of the object, angle at which the object is being pulled, the number of layers there is on the drum, in addition to static vs rolling loads. The angle at which the car will need to be pulled up the trailer in addition to layers of wire on the drum will be offset by the rolling load therefore a 4,000 lb winch should be...
