How to Remove a 1990 Firebird Formula Ignition
The Firebird was manufactured by the Pontiac division of General Motors from 1967 to 2002. The Formula trim level for the 1990 Firebird was available with an eight-cylinder engine with a displacement of 5.0 liters or 5.7 liters. The procedure for removing the ignition coil is generally the same for all eight-cylinder Firebirds made from 1982 to 1992. The ignition coil for these vehicles is located inside the distributor, which is in the engine compartment.
