I have a 1989 Camaro IROC Z28 convertible. The main RPO code is 1FP67. You show it should be 1FP87. Why the discrepancy? I lost the sale of this car over this.
what is the top speed and do they have a govern on them irocz convertable and what are good performance parts
well i have a 1989 iroc-z with T-Tops and i have found that " Edelbrok" proformance parts work great with everday use…. the also handle heat very well. i have converted my camaro from a TPI system to a 4 barrel Edelbrok Cab. with a High Proformance Edelbrok Intake and it works really good… the top speeds do vary from a 305 to 350… but i do believe the top speed for the 305 is about 126 mph. but that was on a 1/4 mile track.. and the 350 is about 133 mph but this was run down the highway ( highly not reccomended). there are some sites that state top speeds and other specs but they are all different.. so if i were you i would just find out for my self.
I have read you statement…You sound as though you have great knowledge of the 1989 iroc…I am trying to find info for my father…He has a 1989 iroc..t-top. We purchased a code reader, trying to find why this car will not start. He gets fuel pressure from the tank to fuel rail, still will not start. Plugs will fire, still the car will not start. He changed switch on transmittion and will not start…Where will the ECM be located on this car? and can you offer any suggestions?
Thanks
I also have a 1989 Camaro IROC Z Z28 convertible. The main RPO code is 1FP67. You show it should be 1FP87. Why the discrepancy with your specs? VIN starts with 1G1FP31F5KL________. It's got the right VIN for the convertable body style, but your main CID is not the same as others in the real world. please clarify when 1FP87 was used, and when 1FP167 was used. . . .
Like jeff mine says 1fp31. What does this mean??
I’m really impressed with your writing skills as well as with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid subject or did you modify it your self? Anyway keep up the excellent high quality writing, it’s uncommon to peer a great blog like this one nowadays..
Its the anti theft system. … the relay is in the driver kick panel. Cut and connect to bypass. Need to change lock cylinder or measure resistance of pellet. In key. Build using resistors. To within +- 1% install in connector / engine side under column in orange. Tubing. Good. Luck
