sounds like it could be a pretty quick 305 tbi car...there are a few guys on here that know a thing or two...with your combo a high 13 isnt impossible.

Welcome to the club!!!

Like the car... yours is an upgrade from my 88TA. No power locks or digital dash but has an automatic trans. Probably have the same 305 TBI.

Enjoy the club.

Welcome bud,
Looks like its time to adjust your ebrake cable, you lever is almost vertical in the pic.

I was under the impression that only the GTA's had the digital dash option. I don't think i ever seen one in a t/a.
but, decent looking ride though.

Is there any major complication in switching from a digital dash to analog? You could prolly sell the digital dash for decent money if you replaced it.

Not only that, but theres different sensors all around the car. The back hatch sensor, low washer fluid sensor and so on and so on. We are going from analog to digital in my buddies 88 GTA.
