head light dont work
 

85 trans am .the other day i got in my car turned on the lights and they did not go up . the parking light turned on and the fog lights but the head light did nothing. a friend told me that it was the switch but i dont know.

yea i changed the switch and it was just that .

your car is a wiring nightmare......

its not that bad . its just been sitting in a tarp for like 8 years . i bought it from a guy like a month ago. so i expect thing to go bad . just not all together . the car is acually in great condition. jerzyiroc has a wiring nightmare.

your lucky it was the switch

F U! :moon:

I've got stock harnesses just laying around.....even full TPI conversions :naughty:

yo would u suggest the 350 swap for my 85 T/A 5.0 h.o. carb. its pretty much stock. do u feel the different .

a tpi conversion will nickle and dime the hell outta you. dont do it unless you have ALL the parts you need from a donor car...
engine harness, dash harness, fuel lines, fuel sender, fuel pump, sensors, engine, tpi setup, correct engine harness if you wanna stay with V belts... there a LOT to consider. Unless you are starting from the ground up, converting isnt easy, especially for a beginner...

well i want to keep it carb. but i wanted to build my motor before puttin it in . im not looking to spend on cheap things . i want to build it right the first time . and keep my 5.0 stock for when i blow it i allways got a spare. and i dont just want to put a stock 5.7 in . ima rebuild it to hit atleast low 12 high 11s.

well its more than just the engine that gets you to the 12s

yea i kinda figured but i want to first worry bout the engine. but i wont forget bout all the rest. its pretty much something to keep me occupied .

i say go 383

If its currently in running condition. I would build up the chassis then suspension then worry about the motor.

:werddance: i've been preaching subframe connectors to him since he got the car lol. that and a strong rear. either way... 383 :)

I should have sturdied up the suspension on my T/A. motor it too much for those old worn out parts

ok so wut should i start with . right now im in the proses of doing the brake. but where do u think i should start with?

Subframe connectors. But if your doing brakes, I would make sure all the other maintence is up to date on it before you start modding.
