* Fuel Injection: In 1988, Chevrolet vehicles with the 5.7L engine almost exclusively used throttle-body fuel injection, not carburetors. Carburetors were largely phased out by then due to emissions regulations and the superior fuel efficiency of fuel injection systems.
* Engine Options: The 1988 Chevy 5.7L came in various configurations with different applications. Each could have a slightly different fuel injection system, depending on the model, trim, and options.
To determine the specific fuel injection system on your 1988 Chevy 5.7L, you'll need:
1. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): This will identify the exact model and options of your car.
2. A Parts Catalog: You can use an online parts catalog or a physical one from a reputable auto parts supplier.
3. Local Mechanic: A mechanic can inspect your engine and tell you what fuel injection system is installed.
Please note: If your 1988 Chevy 5.7L engine has been modified, it may have a carburetor installed. But, this is likely not the original factory setup.
