This thing is going to be a BIG project. Literally and figuratively. Its nothing new to the family, bought it new in 1988 when my brother was born. Its a 1989 Chevy K-15. 5.7l 350. Rocking the old iron... first step is a new battery.. got 200k on the odometer and still starts up with some juice in it. Been sitting in our back yard for nearly 5 years now... sadly. This truck was my childhood, so I'm reviving it.
looks just like my truck, but bigger motor. get rid of that shell!
Wait, Is that a V6 or V8? 1990 Chevrolet C-K 1500 series 4.3L .. 5spd
1994 JDM Euno Roadster 1.8L 5spd Bolt Ons.. etc 2000 Camaro 3.8L Auto Bolt Ons..etc
The shell was being used as a rain cover while we built our outdoor kitchen. The spare bags of quickrete were in it.... that's the first exterior change.
Btw, when I have questions is there anyone that has a good amount of knowledge on these trucks? I know I'll be able to use it. I spent 15 minutes today trying to figure out what was in the way of the TB. It was the injectors.
i have a good knowledge of the 4.3 v6 of the same era, which shares the same bore/stroke as the 350. my dad has a 94 1500 with the v6, 5 spd, and damn near 300k on the odo. i drive it when i go home and work on the firebird. since i drive it i have to maintain it. any questions you may have lemme know.
2000 Firebird- Intake, Pacesetters, !cat, full 2.5 to flowcrapster, 1.9 rockers, LS6 springs and Intense modded retainers, WS6 speedlines, T/A bumpers and hatch, 5 spd swapped, SOON TO BE nitrous'd and cammed.

Hence the term "throttle body injection". /rocket scientist.

Ya know. Stick to rocket science. It's got EFI. Unless they're the same, then I'll be a jackass.
Otherwise thanks guys. Only thing I really needbto know atm is why its running rich, somehow gotta figure out what's with the transmission, and find out what's up with the steering column....
And kristen, it is. I know. But its one of those deals that no matter how terrible it looks, I'll always love it. And plus, I need a car to drive when I get working on my Camaro.
EFI and TBI are not the same; TBI is basically a throttle body with an injector sticking into the port, injecting fuel to the mixture for all 8 cylinders...
EFI would have a fuel injector for each cylinder, controlled by the PCM.

Unless it changes when I dig into it, its got injectors right inside the air filter... its like throttle body injection, but it says EFI..
i'm not knocking you, all the power to you for taking it over. i know how cars mean more with the stories behind them
Hey, that's a first. We agree on something. I hate the way this truck looks, but I love the damn thing... Seriously, I grew up in that beast. From the road trips sleeping in the back seat to learning to drive in it..
efi and tbi are the same thing. throttle body injection is a form of "electronic fuel injection" just means it isnt carburated. tpi, mpi, tbi, all forms of electronic fuel injection.
