Pontiac Firebird Question

[SamLBInj]

Check out this listing for this firebird convertible and all the options. Why does it have all this heavy duty stuff and then a 2 barrel carb??? Does it seem odd? http://host.threadshosting.com/~yenko/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

You could order a Firebird with a two barrel with the 350 and 400cid engines. If really interested fax the vin to PHS and pay the extra 10 bucks to get fax back service to verify, usually same day turn around. I have a build sheet for a 69 400 2bbl firebird that I found under the carpet in a 69 400 4bbl Firebird I used to own. It was on top of my cars buildsheet. PM me and I will scan and e-mail it to you if interested. http://host.threadshosting.com/~yenko/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

Thanks, I really appreciate it!! But I was asking as more for couriosity than interest in purchasing. I never saw a Camaro come with Heavy duty Radiator, HD Brakes, HD Suspension, and posi, add a touch of factory chrome valve covers and then plunk a two barrel in it..Something just seemed odd about that...In the very near future I may be calling on you for info about Judges. I will be looking for a Carosal Red or Orbit Orange 1970 Ram Air IV. Since Im a Chevy Camaro guy I am not that schooled on the Pontiacs. Thanks again, http://host.threadshosting.com/~yenko/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

I don't think there was a 400 2bbl. in 1968. I think the first year was 1970 and that was for the Esprit.

Actually, wasnt the "Jury" one of those 2 barrel deals?

The Jury was a 350-2 in the Tempest.

I verified those codes in an old Chilton's manual and cross referenced them with my assembly manual. I will post the 69 400 two barrel buildsheet when I scan it in. http://host.threadshosting.com/~yenko/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif
