A short vidéo I did just after I got the front bumper and did a few repairs in the wiring. She was still missing the hood insert.
You can see the somewhat rare Lear Siegler seats..
Can't wait to drive her again !
1984 Trans Am: A work in progress.
Here's a short video showing off my 1984 Trans Am. I totalled it on the highway, but right after started restoring it.
1984 Trans Am - Second start and low revving test
The second time I started the engine after setting the ignition correctly. It still needs tuning of course. Remember there is no Exhaust, only the manifolds are in place.
This is my first ever rebuild, so I'm quite happy now :D
Mon deuxième essai de démarrage après avoir reglé l'allumage. Je dois encore paufiner tout ça bien sur. L'échappement n'est pas monté hormis les collecteurs.
C'est la toute première fois que je refais un moteur...je suis plutôt content !
1984 Trans Am HO revving
Une vidéo de ma Trans Am de 1984. V8 5.0L HO (L69) de 190ch presque stock : arbre à came et poussoirs Edelbrock, carburateur Holley, caches culbuteurs chromés (lol). Elle tourne très bien malgré ses 177000 miles cependant a besoin d'une sérieuse révision..
A short video of my 177000 miles 1984 Trans Am revving, mostly stock 190hp 5.0L V8 (L69) : Edelbrock camshaft and lifters, Holley carburetor, chrome head covers (lol j/k). She's running fine but needs some work.
1984 Trans Am HO just got her original carbutor back
I've just installed an original CC Quadrajet (17084205) in my 1984 Trans Am. She had a Holley 4777-7 before, way too big for the 305. It ran rich and stalled quite often at idle, and she smelled awfully bad.
There is not a single computer connector installed, still it runs much better than with the Holley carb. It doesn't smell half as much as before.
1984 Trans Am - Very first start after rebuild and ignition
SHE'S ALIVE !!!!
Three years later, she breathes again.
And yes, this is the very first start after getting the ignition in order. It still needs tuning, but it's pretty good for a first one. I have never rebuilt an engine before. I doesn't smell bad, no weird smoke color, it seems to run on all eight cylinders. There is no Exhaust apart from the manifolds, so it's pretty noisy. Oil pressure seem fine, idle seems a bit high at 2000rpm but I'm not sure the tach works fine since it's the first time it's in the car after i repaired it.
