To the best of my knowledge, and unless this is a trick question, production T-birds were made in 1955, and production Firebirds in 1967. So the Thunderbird was made first.

How do you change spark plug wires in a 1989 Pontiac Firebird?
pull one off at a time to change them dont get them mixed up
U Joints can certainly make noise after they've started wearing and are dried out. If you have concern about an unfamiliar noise, take the vehicle to a trusted mechanic or even the dealer. It's nearly impossible to tell you what the noise would be from a description like that.
Why does smoke billow out of the exhaust when you start a 91 Firebird Formula?
Valve seals/guides, plugged oil drain holes in the head, PCV valve/line plugged/malfunctioning, etc. IF its WHITE it could b a blown head gasket-IF its BLACK it means there is 2 much FUEL getting 2 the engine & if its BLUE it COULD b valve stem seals OR piston rings or @ the WILDEST blocked oil return holes.

Rhow do i replace brake light on 1995 firebird?
open the hatch and pull the carpet lining rear of the the trunk (by the latch) area back and you should see several winged nuts. unscrew them and the rear lights just pull right out. i think there's 5 but not sure, just make sure you get the ones in the corner. to get the carpet up you have to remove the little flap that folds over the t-top storage area and the plastic over the rear wheels, this is really easy though you just turn the little locks with a quarter and they come right out.
Where is the flasher on a 1999 Pontiac Firebird?
on the drivers side nearest the console it is on a clip under the dash
How to get at flasher what needs to be removed
Change the blinker bulb for that side. It is a hit and miss though. If you change the front bulbs and it still doesn't blink you will also need to change the rear bulbs. The front bulbs are rather difficult to change from above the vehicle. You may want to get underneath and definitely during the day!!! THE REAL ANSWER!!!!!! This drove me crazy on my daughters car. It turned out to be the day time running light modual wich is located behind the radio. the conections were loose. when you turn on the right turn directional the front light would go out but the rear directional would work. listen closley behind the radio for a one click noise when you activate the right turn, and also a delay one click when you deactivate.

How do you change a 1968 firebird clutch?
I've never done this with the engine in the car, but I think this is how it should go. This applies to manual transmissions only.
(1) Remove the retainers on the yoke, at the rearend, that hold the drive line in place. Then push the drive line forward, move it out of the yoke, then pull it rearward out of the transmission.
(2) Support the rear of the engine so it can not rock backwards when the transmission is detached.
(3) Remove the shift lever and remove the two bolts that hold the transmission to the cross member.
(4) Remove the four bolts attacking the cross member to the frame. Rotate the cross member to remove. You may need to raise the rear of the engine slightly to take pressure off the cross member.
(5) Remove the four bolts attaching the transmission to the bell housing. Be sure to support the transmissions with a floor jack or something, they can be heavy. Then safely remove the transmission.
(7) Remove the spring and linkage connecting to the the throw out fork.
(8) Next remove the 6 bolts holding the bell housing to the rear of the engine, then remove the bell housing.
(9) Remove the bolts holding the pressure plate to the flywheel. You should now be able to remove the pressure plate and clutch disc.
(10) Install the new clutch disc with a line up shaft.
(11) Install the pressure plate and torque the bolts to the suggested torque. (Generally 25 to 40 ft-lbs.)
(12) You will probably want to replace the throw out bearing also while you have the bell housing removed.
(12) Remove the line up shaft, replace and secure the bell housing.
(13) Reconnect the clutch linkage and spring.
(14) The rest of the process is the reverse of removal.
