I have none of the problems often associated with the Crossfire Injection setup and KITT runs like a tiger. It has never given me any problems other than the throttle sticking at 2000 RPM.

You must be pretty lucky then, everyone I know that has had a GM car with CFI hates it! Sweet car and good luck with it.

It’s not that powerful but it gets the job. How many miles do your buddies cars have?
Around 100,000 miles is when problems arise.

GM's first and failed attempt at EFI= Electonic Fuel Injection CFI was only availabe from 1982-1983 on the Camaro and Firebird. 1982 and 1984 on the Corvette with 305ci V8 or 350 ci V8 option.

VERY clean car and congrats on the find man!
LSRengineering
I still love the car. Bitch to find body parts for, esp the GFX. What rear seats are those? I swear I had them and swapped to a set of 15th anniv. recaros.
CJaguar265
Yeah tell me about it. but I have my contacts and yes those are recaros

Yeah it had over 100k on it, it was a vette.
LSRengineering
I searched everywhere for a Pass. side lower GFX for the door and it was almost impossible to find. Hawks had 2 of them at the time and I bought em both. I also have a set of 15th Anniv. tails too that I appened to pick up.

Car looks great dude! Glad to have another early bird on here.
LSRengineering
Yeah I'm on Necamaro-Firebird. I have been on there since the forum was founded. Thanks for the links I'll be sure to check em out.
Bad Max
OMG !!! If that car was a 4 spd i'd be on my way to get it ! i miss mine more than just about anything, my '82 was the most fun car ithink i've ever had
LSRengineering
It is a 4 speed... auto

4 speed manual was only available in 1982 last I knew.
Bad Max
may have been thought 83 as well but i never researched it much
CJaguar265
It is a TH-700R4 4-speed Overdrive Automatic (MXO RPO Code)

There was a 4 speed Standard Transmission available (MO8 RPO Code) in 1983 but not with the Daytona 500 Edition Package.
Bad Max
if you ever see an '82 recaro edition 4 spd stick let me know asap
