Pontiac Trans Am

12 dgrees before top dead center for a '68 - 69 era 400.

Under the left kick panel on the drivers side of the car.

A 78 Trans Am was available from the factory with three different engines. Two different versions of the Pontiac 400 cubic inch. both of them are denoted by a 'Z' in the 5th place in the VIN. The other engine that was available was an Oldsmobile supplied 403 cubic inch. This engine is identified by a 'K' in the fifth digit in the VIN. If the car has a manual trans it does NOT have the 403, if an auto trans it could have any of the three engines. The 403 was the only choice for a car sold new in CA or high altitudes.

you put a new seal kit in it on a tractor ore what

on a 86 tran am it should be a 350 small block . if it is look faceing the motor from the front , on the left side under the head is the fuil pump it has 2 metal lines into it. remove them . ther are 2 bolts on the sides, remove them and you have the fuil pump off.

To the left of the fuse panel you will see the flashers, you can up snap all of the dash trios, take the screws out and it exposes all the flashers, theres three of them right together, the emergency, signal and horn relay.

The "trio" block contains a hazard warning(short and round), a time delay relay(tall and round) and a horn relay(square). The turn signal flasher is above and behind fuse panel. It is held in place by a bracket which the flasher "pushes" into.

This also works for the 1992 Acclaim. However, I have found that the flasher is permanently mounted on a bracket which has no means of being taken down. The flasher (which may be blue in color) has a two wire connector, which pushes on from the left. Pull this connector off and you can hook another flasher on it. You can try to re-place the new flasher on the bracket, but it might be just as easy to place the flasher in an out of the way location. I don't have the biggest hands on the block, but removing the old flasher is a job for someone with very small hands.

You should check autozone.com. Click on Repair info, then Vehicle Repair Guide , then you can select your vehicle type, "driveability & emission controls", then vacuum diagrams. There are some 8 cylinder ones listed.

Transmission fluid is low. Check the level of this fluid ONLY with the engine running and at normal operating temperature. To check it otherwise WILL give a false reading. You cannot check the transmission fluid level on a cold and idle engine.

yes, however you may need to slightly raise the fenders and adjust the headlights for smooth lines.

Depends on the engine. Two were available, Both were 305 cubic inch small block Chevy V8s.

The standard LG4 was 160hp @ 4300rpm

The optional "305HO" L69 was 190hpp @ 4800rpm

Take it to the dealer. They get the numbers off the radio and input them to the master GM computer to get the master code. There is no other way.

You have to remove the passenger front fender. The blower is located on the firewall inside the fender.

I am havingtrouble with my 93 Prizm 1.6 with the Auto Transmission. I belive the Speed Sensor is on the back side of the transmission. Look down from the back of your motor and look for an electrical connection to the top of your trans. Unhook the wire and its a 10mm both to get it off.

It is in the rubber snoot that comes off the TB

Yes

See Headlamps, Front Parking and Turn Signal Lamps, under Section 6: Service and Appearance Care - Bulb Replacement, on page 6-36 of your "Owner's Manual"...

97 trans ams all have the same compression ratio, 10.4:1. leaning that out some should boost your power and mileage some, though.

There were three engines available: 1)400 Pontiac 220hp@4000rpm 2)403 Oldsmobile 185hp@3600rpm 3)301 Pontiac 150hp@3600rpm

Electric headlight motors need replaced.

what are you connecting them to? need more info.

a 300 302 350 403 455 but 455 were rarely used in the the 79ta

Not even remotely correct. The '79 T/A had 3 engines available. The first being the Pontiac 400....and all of these will be mated to a 4 speed transmission. The Olds 403 is next and for California T/As only they used a Chevy 305.

First check coolant levels, if they are correct. Try disconnecting the battery ground connection for 5 minutes to clear the prom, then reconnect and start the car. If the light is still on, then the sensor is bad, and must be replaced.

Look on the sidewall of the tire. Follow the tire recommendations....not the vehicle.

It means that the alternator is shot or the battery is shot, you need to get the charging system checked out.
