[QUOTE=chief455]No cheating - use your memory and knowledge to answer these:
ANSWERS:
1st Gen 67-69
1. What years had glass side vent windows in the doors? 67/68. 1 piece glass started in 69
2. What years was a 12 bolt rear standard with a peformance motor? none - introduced 1970 T/A and Formula(rare)
2nd Gen 70-81
1. What year was the last year for round headlights?
2. What year was the last year a 455 Pontiac motor was offered?
both answers are 1976. 4 rec headlights started in 77.
76/455 Engine block code WX, 5th VIN didgit W
Last year for the small rear window MOST THINK WAS 73 but it was in the 74s as well. Pro Stock John might have been thinking small window/round lights ended in 73. Common thinking.


3rd Gen 82-92
1. What years was the GTA an option? 87-92
2. Was a Pontiac motor still availabe into 1983?
In a Firebird = NO! That Iron duke 4 cyl might happen in a Sunbird or something?

4th Gen 93-02
1. What years was "speed density" used to monitor air flow? 93 only
2. What was the highest number gear ratio offered as an option in 2000? 3.42 I never hear of or read of 3.73 in any package. Could be.[/QUOTE]
Anyone with more or conflicting data please partake!
thanks guys

The 67 Camaro/Firebird was the only year to to use the side vent windows. In 68 they used the single window and added side marker lights. That is one of the easiest ways to tell the difference between a 67 and 68 f-body. Do a search on yahoo or google in the image section for a 67 Firebird or Camaro and notice the vent window and no side marker lights. Then do a search for 68 Firebird or Camaro and also notice the single window with the side marker lights.

" Was a Pontiac motor still availabe into 1983?

Pontaic I-4 [upc LQ9]: Overhead valves. Cast iron block. Displacment 151 cid. (2.5l) vin code 2.

This was out of The Standard Catolog of Friebird, By John Gunnell, It was used from 82-85

I wasn't positive about the rear in the 4th gens but I thought I heard that one somewhere.
