what vehicles from GM had a 305 w/TBI

Post by dj_joker_2002 »

I need a reference vehicle to order my rebuilt injectors. I can't tell them its a 5.0/305 in a GMC safari. But I have no idea what year , make and model to tell them.

Use the year of your van and tell them it is a C1500 with a 305. If I gave you a list of everything that had a 305 TBI I'd run out of room. I know the C1500 went up to at least 95 since that is what my 305 is.
Current:
01 AWD - Stock
98 AWD - Stock
Past:
93 4WD - 305 V8 - 5" lift - 31" tires
98 4WD DHC - 10" lift - 33" tires - Onboard air and Hydraulics - Snowplow
92 RWD - 350 V8 - lowered - 97 front clip
92 RWD - 350 V8 - converted to AWD - V6
91 AWD - 350 V8 - conversion van
94 RWD - 350 V8 - sons van
92 RWD - stock - sons van
93 RWD Shorty - project
89 RWD Shorty - parts van

do it myself? they only charge $30 dollars a piece to rebuild mine + $5.00 to ship them to them. I will let the members know how they work and all the per tenant info asap. As for rebuilding the injectors myself I have no clue as to how to do that or where to get parts.

No pics, but I rebuilt my Tb a while back and never done it befor, was easy as 1-2-3.
I now see you was talking about injectors, but they are easier than the tb.But 30 bucks is not to bad.
Pics are in the haynes manual I use.
