Hey all, I’m in the process of rewiring a 1976 trans am and I am unable to locate the VSS. Everything I’ve read so far just points to 3rd gen vehicles. 1970s have a VSS? thanks! Found where the speedometer cable ran to the transmission and it is mechanical. American Autowire instructions say to run the cables to the VSS but that’s not for the 1976 despite the instructions saying for 1976.

Hey sorry for the no reply. A lot has happened to our other cars that I had to take care of so the trans am got placed at the end of the list.

Hey All! I'm a new member to not just this forum but to this world. Dad built his own car (1980 MGB) back in the day when I was a kid and I've always wanted an older car. I remember seeing a picture of a 1970s Trans Am at the beach and wanted one ever since. "Are you here for a long time or a good time?" So here she is

Hey Frosty, I do believe the engine is over 100k. This car had a one time owner and the guy who previously had it just got old. I think he was in his late 80s. I had all of the fluids replaced recently and tuned the fuel injection. The goal is to have this as a street car to go out on joy rides.

Hey all! First post here. I recently bought my dream car, 1976 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am with a 455 engine. The prior owner kept it mainly at stock and appears to have only added a Fitech fuel injection system and duel exhaust. I am wanting to upgrade the engine but see a lot of posts stating that the engine needs to be rebuilt first before upgrades are added or it wouldnt be able to handle the upgrades. Is this actually true? Yes, the engine is old but it appears to be in great shape. Is it more of a better safe than sorry situation? Thanks!
