'79 formula firebird - stupid question

Hi guys,



gotta stupid question for you......



does the odometer on my car count in kilometers or miles???


Whatever the larger outside numbers are. US spec Firebirds will have odo's that count in miles. Canadian and European spec Firebirds will have odo's in kilometers.

Correct. Generally miles unless it's a Z49 Canadian optioned vehicle or an export (VE4, VE5, etc) Joe--ASE Certified Parts Specialist & 10th Ann.Club Tech Director '80 Carousel Red Turbo T/A, 26k orig.

There were not any 1979 F cars made in Canada. Only Van Nuys CA or Norwood, Ohio.

F car production didn't start in Canada (St. Therese) until the 1993 model year.
