Why does your 89 Pontiac Firebird sound like a jet engine when driving but not when idle Do you think you have a bad wheel bearing?

A bad wheel bearing does not sound like a jet engine. It is more of a grinding noise. If you only hear this during acceleration, I would suspect your breather intake is loose or disconnected. Unload the bearings by swerving right and left. If the noise disappears then you may indeed have a bad bearing. In other words if you swerve right and the noise disappears, suspect a bad right wheel bearing, etc.

Should you replace brake pads when replacing rotors?

Yes. No question about it.

Back in the days of asbestos brake pads, you could get 80,000 miles or more out of the pads (well, I did on my Rover Metro, the first car I ever had with disc brakes - disc is correct English for what Americans call rotors), whilst the discs remained in perfectly good condition. But asbestos has been banned, and rightly so. Modern brake pads have metal particles in the friction material - or may even be made from sintered metal. The bonus is that modern pads have greater friction and will stop you far and away quicker than the old asbestos ones. The downside is that most pads and discs now wear out together, and must be replaced as a full set. Brake manufacturers are getting on to this and are packaging pads and discs together as a set. Mintex, for instance, package their sets under the name "Brake-in-a-Box".

How do you replace a burnt out head light on a 1991 Pontiac firebird?

I've got a '91 firebird formula. Order the lights from a part store, got mine from discount auto. put the headlights up, unscrew and remove the headlight casings unplug the old lights and put in the new - replace the casings. if you can't do it yourself, they're likely to do it for free at discount auto. and if you feel your headlights are aimed right, take it to a mechanic.

What size of speakers are in a 1997 firebird?

6.5" 2 ohm in the doors, plus 1 inch 4ohm tweeter if you have monsoon

6.5" dual 4 ohm voice coil subwoofer in the sail panel. (highly recommend Elemental Designs)

4x6" round 4 ohm speaker + 1" tweeter if you have monsoon.

There are no 2ohm voice speakers that I know of, so your sound output will be slightly lower with aftermarket speakers.

If you dont have Monsoon, then you have 6.5" 4 ohm speakers, standard replacements apply.

Turn the key to the "on" position, don't need to start it. Press and hold the trip button in for about 12 seconds or so until the change oil flashes then shuts off. Should be gone when you start it. I think it comes on every 5,000 miles...

Will a 350 Chevy and transmission go in 80 firebird?

Yes...in fact, there were several of them that were factory built with a small block Chevy. You'll have to move the frame mounts for the engine. The holes will already be drilled in the frame. I don't know which engine you are taking out, or if the frame mounts will be the same. Worst case, you go swipe a set from a 70-81 Camaro. Other than a little wire re-routing, it's fairly simple.

How many 1973 firebird formula 455 ho 4 speeds were built?

Unless I am sadly mistaken, Pontiac built zero. The 455HO (round port heads) were never made again after the 1972 model year. In 1973 and 1974 the Hi-Po 455 was the Super Duty which was offered in the Formula, but is very rare as a factory build. The late 70's "HO" used d-port heads. I currently own a '72 Formula, and have bought and sold several '70 - '72 Firebirds, Formulas, and Trans Ams stating over 30 years ago.
