Firebird Cowl Induction

Selling a very nice condition '82-'84 Firebird cowl induction setup. The setup I have is for carb/tbi style induction (not crossfire). From what I understand, this is bolt-on for the '82-'92 cowl induction style hoods.

Parts I'm including...
-mesh hood screen
-cowl induction setup with electric solenoid
-air cleaner with the special cowl induction lid.

Reason for selling: I bought this for my 2nd gen Firebird thinking it would fit my Turbo hood but found out the hard way that it did not. I was informed by a 3rd gen parts supplier that it's a direct bolt-on but found out the 2nd gen hood bulge is actually much different than the 3rd gen. This is a rare setup and I'm not trying to cut it up.


$250...just trying to get my money back. Please PM me an email or phone # I can send pics to. Photobucket has closed up 3rd party hosting for my account so I can't post any pictures online right now.

Re: Firebird Cowl Induction

Thank you very much!

This is a test run. Here are some pictures comparing the 2nd gen block plate to the 3rd gen screen and induction. I will get better pics later.

Re: Firebird Cowl Induction

I know it’s been a while but here are some pictures of the air cleaner and induction scoop. I just got around to cleaning up this setup and wiping it down with some Armor All for pictures. Kind of hard to sell without pictures haha

Re: Firebird Cowl Induction

I wish there was a way to set this up for a TPI motor.

What you could do is use a port injection manifold that uses a 4150 carb style throttle body. That would allow you to put this setup right on top. You壇 probably gain performance with the added air flow and tuning.


Here痴 a few pictures in this thread...

Re: Firebird Cowl Induction

Price drop...$200 for the whole thing.

I can also do $100 for the hood scoop or $100 for the air cleaner if anyone wants them separate.

Re: Firebird Cowl Induction

Asking price ain’t selling price. Hopefully someone makes an offer or buys soon. This ad has been up since July but I posted the updated pictures just now.

Re: Firebird Cowl Induction

Just be patient. Eventually someone will come along and be glad to find one at a better price than Ebay.

Re: Firebird Cowl Induction

Someone will need it for a stock restoration just as they did when they bought my same setup. It will sell. Good luck with it.
