I haven't yet but you give me ideas.

Ron,

I do not think I need the cherry Picker any longer at this point if there is a good time to move it. If you need to store it for a while that's ok too. It is convenient to jack the car up with.

If I find time to finish the dismantling I will start with pics and a spread sheet of what is left.

once I find either a junkyard or If I can get it cut down I will get all the rims rounded up. who do they go to?

Ron do your accept your offer?    We will have to plan the dismantle of those close to the tear down or delivery of the skeleton to the yard.

There are wheels and tires that the club doesn't own on this car, It looks like there will be some more tear down needed. All four quarter panels are in fair condition and the glass is good. The rear glass has the defrost in it there is a solid moon roof glass. I found a window removal kit from harbor freight to pull the wind shield. I need to remove the gas tank and the radiator to prepare for cutting it up for scrap.

There is an adjustment on there that Charlie and Don were telling me about that allows it come up slower without the spoiler.

I think if you wait long enough that they will reply with the how. too.

Pat and I are going to pull the engine out this morning if anyone is interested in supervising or helping. He is not taking the Cradle so the car can still be moved on its own wheels.

I wont make the meeting Saturday so I am trying to get some communication out.

In my replies I have said that for the last two weeks I had little opportunity to host people here since I had a house full of inlaws. Scott Brown came out and picked up the Radiator FAN Saturday (aug 2) morning. The only other person besides me and Scott that has taken parts so far is Charlie. I have tail lights That I need to Paypal (40) for still.

This Sunday aug 10 I have time I can commit to help pull the engine or what ever else may be needed.

I apologize Pat for the recent lack of availability but I explained it in my replies to voice mails emails and here on the forum that I was not available to do anything with the engine until this coming week somehow I didn't get the message out there.

Thank you for the call recently Charlie, I am doing ok work, weddings and my wife graduating College has taken all my spare time. Now that it is all passed will have some Fridays and weekends where I can finish this effort.

I would like to get my garage back soon so I will be more motivated to finish this up. I think I will be pulling the gas tank Sunday and possibly the radiator in order to drain the coolant system. I will take some pictures and post them here this Sunday at least.

Randy.

Tech Tips, Tech Questions / 85 GT jitters

« on: July 15, 2014, 09:35:38 pm »

So I have this jitter in the car when I am at constant speed it is like the car is missing. I have changed: distributor, cap rotor, the ECM 2x so I have 3 good ones. the spark plugs, wires and coil. It is the last mechanical thing I need to fix on this car so I can claim victory and start looking for my own.

Since the above I went back to the old Coil and spark plug wires. a slight change but is it still doing it. I am going to probably swap all the spark plugs out.

Any other Ideas?

Ok so it looks like All my troubles are fixed with the Fiero - Timing is not back firing and Shifting is back to normal.

I am still jittering at cruise. but I can fix that later if there is a fix.

We will leave at 130pm to head that way - Probably late for the fun but we will come out to support.

See you all then..

My son and I would like to go and take his car but I am having issues with it. I have not had time to set the timing right.

And I messed with the Automatic transmission cable and now it shifts sooooo hard it is not drivable. I will try this week to get it running and Let everyone know.

Either way we will come to the show and help. I also need to know if anyone wants anything off of the red donor car. If I don't drive the Fiero, I will drive my truck and bring parts.

Cant wait.

Looks and sounds awesome. Sorry I had to spend my last week on a cruise ship, but I think I racked up enough points to play with Fieros again.

Look forward to seeing you in July.

His flight leaves at 230 so I wont be back at the house until 330 - 4pm.

I haven't been getting to your calls yet, work has me spread really thin.

I think I am going to have to call it for Saturday. that airport trip breaks the day right in half sorry for the late update.


If early in the AM works I have from 0700 until about 11am then I have to get ready and take my son to the airport. let me know.
