My '88 Fiero - The Never-Ending Saga

[GTRS Fiero]

We found a vacuum leak at the tiny line under the upper plenum.  My Fiero has power, again!

The MSD plug wires are in.  The wires had to be trimmed a bit, and are much thicker than the previous wires.

What do you think?

[Fierofool]

That's nice.  The engine bay is very neatly done.

[GTRS Fiero]

Thanks.  I still need to figure out the exhaust.  Whenever it's apart, no jetcoating available.  They have a 3-month backlog.

Im sure there are a few extra sets of exhaust manifolds laying around these parts.  Get some spares and add them to the wait list and before you know it 3 months will pass and you have them ready to go.

Oh yeah, and them plug wires do look fat, in a good way.

Well, I have 2 extra sets.  One set is half-fixed, but will require more welding and the hole-saw; the other set needs the whole shebang.

I'm very happy with how the plug wires turned out.  I'm not so happy that the first 3 times, the plug wires were done by people who did a sloppy job.

I have steel strut covers, but Rodney's aluminum covers arrived today.  Initially, when he and I spoke, I had turned these down.  I don't recall why.  We'll see.

The new transmission pan gasket looks and seals great.

The goal is to get everything buttoned back up today, before the weather (and salt) hit the roads.

[GTRS Fiero]

The AC compressor and gear-reduction starter are in!

[GTRS Fiero]

Well, all but the dash and cruise control is back together.

[GTRS Fiero]

Was going to get my Fiero, but there is dandruff all over the place!  Well, not near my Fiero.

Maybe in a few more days...

For Christmas, my wife bought me a car camera.  This is a different brand from one I had previously used.  This particular camera requires the wiring, memory stick, and mount to be purchased separately.

Question is, is this worth installing in my Fiero?

I was not very pleased with the last camera, and returned it.  It failed in my time of need.

[Fierofool]

My personal choice for a camera, especially for a Fiero, would be one that I could attach to the rear window and would record both front and rear views.
