89 Standard with EFI?
Did they make manual transmission 89's with an EFI motor? I think this guy is trying to fool me. He has an ad up for 89 but sent me a pic of an EFI engine. Also a little suspicious he says his son owns 2 of these cars. Anyone on the forum from Germantown WI? I feel like the son may have swapped in a worse condition motor and kept the 89 carb. Thanks for the help guys.

He probably is ignorant about these cars and sent a pic of his son's other engine bay.Last edited by TominMO; 02-04-2015, 11:08 AM.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

Oh I didn't know that you had to change the fuel tank hmmm the car he took the picture of is definitely the one he has up for sale. Maybe he just has the year of the entire vehicle wrong? Is it 100% that there is no such thing as an 89 manual EFI?Originally posted by festyxfi View PostComment

If he's going off the build date in the door, it would be a 90 if it was built after mid-1989.Originally posted by Mercilesslee View Post90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

The trans could have been swapped at one time or another. If my 89 auto wasn't a rust bucket I would have swapped a 5 speed in.Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile.
