As someone who doesn't know about cars, how can I tell by looking if this car I inherited is:
I have the owner's manual, but it doesn't address this.
For the record, it's a 2-door automatic. It's off the road (not insured) at the moment, so I can't whip it over to a mechanic to ask these questions.
.
Count the spark plugs. Those are the things on the side of the engine with black wires running to them. Six plugs for a 6 and 8 for an eight cylinder. Does the engine sit front to rear in the engine compartment or crossways? Front to rear for a rear drive and crossways for a front drive. You cam also look at the axle between the rear wheels. If there is a shaft running from the engine to the center of the rear axle it's a rear wheel drive. No drive shaft means it's a front wheel drive. I'm pretty sure the 90s were fuel injected. GM switched over in the 80s.
