    1980 Firebird Tail Lights

    I am so confused. I have a 1980 Firebird. I need to replace the left and right tail lights along with the fuel door, fuel door hinge, and bracket. Everywhere I look, an inner and outer lens. The problem is mine only has two pieces (the back piece, the reflective housing where bulbs snap...

    Blower Wiring (Had AC But Now It Does Not)

    Did a bench test last night with the old blower. Worked fine on all speeds (L, ML, MH, and H) Skipped the relay altogether. Redrew the wiring diagram. See below. Now to wire up the new blower.

    Blower Wiring (Had AC But Now It Does Not)

    So I need to figure out what wires go to #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5 in the attached pdf.

    Blower Wiring (Had AC But Now It Does Not)

    Can I skip the Blower Relay altogether? If I did, I would have the Dark Blue wire from the resistor running to the Blower? This should give me Low, Medium Low, and Medium-High. I would not have a High. I don't understand what controls the Blower Relay, so it knows when to "cut out"...

    Blower Wiring (Had AC But Now It Does Not)

    I have a 1980 Firebird Esprit. It had AC at one time, and Now it does not. All I have is a fan switch (all other levers for ac and heat have been removed). Under the hood are the blower (fan), blower resistor, and blower relay. I have no wires to any of these three devices. After...

    Gas Tank And Fuel Lines

    So I ran a new line from the tank to the fuel pump. Also ran a line from the tank (with some twists and some turns about (8' long)) to just behind the driver side rear tire (for fuel vapor). It is just an open-ended line. I did not put it in a canister. The car seems to be running fine...

    Gas Tank And Fuel Lines

    OK, I got the Chilton book out (see photo below). In my photo above, the orange line is the fuel vapor line, and it should go to the front of the car, but I am not sure what it goes to. According to the book, My blue line from the photo above should be the supply AND return line, but my...

    Gas Tank And Fuel Lines

    Brackets. (edit) So I believe these brackets would be for the muffler to hang from. I do not have a muffler. I have two glass packs under the car.

    Gas Tank And Fuel Lines

    Took pictures from under of the car. Didn’t come out so well. Two lines are coming out of the top of the gas tank. One curls all around and eventually ends on rear driver side by the frame (open-ended, just hanging there); the other goes to the front. Not sure if this is the correct...

    1980 Firebird Esprit - Wheel Bearing and Axle Seal

    There is no nut holding the hub on. It does move back a forth a little. Is the only thing holding it in there the clip inside the pumpkin? The seal is definitely shot. A little puddle of oil on the floor.

    1980 Firebird Esprit - Wheel Bearing and Axle Seal

    I am not sure if these images will help. I do not have any specific photos right now of the rear end. But I could get them when I get home.
