        I like it, welcome! Shave rear spoiler, stinger hood.


        Although I think you have a mutt on your hands I think I see a Z28 emblem on the dash, which could explain the TPI serpentine setup. I don't understand the auto shifter and having three pedals a VIN and RPO decode would confirm what you really have

                  LOL, Yes it was a former 5 speed v6 car. Has a motor and trans from a 91 firebird in it. I mated them both together. I have the auto shifterplate just like the look of the boot instead. Thinking about getting a spoiler though, the high rise one. TPI serpentine? I have taken out the ac with a delete pulley and taken the smog pump just plain out and bought a smaller belt.

                  *and I think that the dash emblem is just stuck on there from the prior tenant. lol

                      haha, nice. I have auto pedals sitting in the garage from my 89 that you can have. People pay decent money for manual pedal setups if they are complete

                      Oh, and TPI serpentine setups run the tensioner much lower than TBI so the TPI throttlebody will clear. They are more desirable as they just look better.

                          the only thing I would need is to move the safety switch from the clutch pedal to the auto stick in prk, or to the brake pedal..
