So what's the latest on this swap?? Is it running already? At the keys yo told me it was almost done. Hope to meet with you some time and chat about the swaps
This pic shows the smal filter that I used for the crank case breather. This is the tube that taps into your stock intake tube.
gm did a recall regarding that pipe that you put the crank case breather on. aparently it would fill the air box with some oily sludg! have you knoticed any problems like that? it should be venting right befor the throttle body. *edit for poor speling, hey its my curse!*

some people never had the recal work done... like the update to 87+ exhaust manifolds... i doubt that 15% of fieros have that recal.

Black-Azz-GT when doing a carb swap you can use the intank fuel pump from an 83 84 pontiac j2000 as it desined for a carb and will eliminate the need for a regulator as it is built into the pump and it will only produce 7 psi but puts out great flow

I wish I had known before droping the tank and installing the 4 banger pump. I will remember this for the future when I want to clean up the engine bay a little. THANKS
