OK, I'm gong to need a gas tank, side molding off of the nose, axle nuts, and probably various other things. Start letting me know what to look for, or what you have. Thanks

I need sizes to get them

Apparently my car is also missing pieces for the sway bar mount. Any suggestions on that?

Damn guy got you good on all the hard to find parts it looks like....Seems like there was a company that made the swaybar mounts but can't remeber who. If not the are not real easy to come by being most do not want to sell they seperate from the swaybar. I have an extra 88 tank without sender, axles nuts, ect. Is the missing molding the turn signal light on the side or just black molding, either way I probally have it. Let me know what all parts you need and I probally have them or most of them.

I got a map box/rear center section as well as a shifter surround from Haggerty today. Great guy, he woulodn't even let me pay him anything for it. Now, what I guess I'll need are the axle nuts, sway bar mount pieces, I bought a passenger tail light but will need a driver's side, and a gas tank now. I already got a replacement case for the M90 (one properly ported), replacement springs, and a replacement pump for the intercooler system. Zack thinks they had someone make the harness because it's repinned, so I hope I won't need one of those, but I'll know for sure later.

I have an 88 tank tank and the axe nuts....What IC pump did they end up getting? Harnesses useually get re-pinned when getting put together so that is some what a normal thing. As long as he double check where everything goes it should be all right.

Zack (Tengis) and Tim at ZZP both advised to get the Flojet because the Bosch "didn't do as well in a lower flow setup". I grabbed one off of Ebay for $85
Someone off the forum said they have a tank with pump and sending unit, but they haven't responded to my pm yet, so I still need a tank. My sending unit actually works and I do have the new fuel pump, so whichever way will work out is fine with me.

Bosch works great in the Fiero...mount it in the lower front corner of the fascia and your all set.......Did you already have a Bosch pump bought? What pump did they get?

I had the Flojet that came with the SS IC setup, and that's what they said to get as a replacement, so that was what I ordered. I guess they were thinking since my lines were smaller the Flojet would be more ideal, but even the ZZP website says the Bosch is better. I don't know, I just do what I'm told on some things I guess. To be honest, we might still find the other pump mounted somewhere on the car for all I know. If that happens, someone will be getting a hell of a deal on a Flojet pump on here.

OK, looks like I may have the gas tank resolved, but not 100% yet, waiting on response.

Tengis got the axle nuts and got the axles secured. Now the car rolls.

I ordered a BUNCH of stuff from Rodney Dickman, including his Zero Lash swaybar end links, which is what I ended up needing for the sway bar. Tengis found the bracket, so that's all I was missing I guess.

I hate trying to find/order parts when I don't know exactly what I'm looking for. I keep thinking I'm going to order the wrong thing and get stuck with it.

Mstangs thanks for the offers, I'm sure I'll still need stuff, and I really do appreciate you offering especially given the debates we've had.
