Bobadoo, if you need any gray interior stuff, let me know. I have some things lying around looking for a good home. Rather see it go to good use than lay around gathering dust.

Sorry I did not back to you sooner on the EGR but I ran into car problems of my own, unfortunatly I was unable to find the EGR I removed from my GT.
As far as timeing goes you need to have the #1 cylinder at compression, to find this remove the spark plug and disconnect the wireharnest to the fuel injectors so no fuel is sprayed. Then put your finger over the spark plug hole and have someone just tap the key as if to start the car but not to keep the engine under rotation, just quick on off turns. What you will be doing if feeling for pressure (piston at top dead center) now check the timeing mark, should be the thicker grove on the balancer and rotate the engine untill you see that make at the zero mark on your timeing indicatior, you should now be at TDC (top dead center) if not you might be 180 degrees out and will just have to rotate the engine one full rotation and then try to set timeing from there. If car startes for a brief sec then you are inthe right area and need to play with the distributor to get the car started, if not like I said you might be 180 degrees out on timeing.

Just to help you a bit: http://spad.sytes.net/fiero/engine.php

There's no EGR on those pictures becouse it's deleted (hardware + ECM software). Valve covers can be polished and it sure looks pretty cool. I would recomment to clean everything well and not to use so much RTV sealant. There is places where it's needed, but generally, do not put it anywhere else. Gaskets is for sealing.

sounds like you just need a spare parts engine - i've got one you could have but no time to take it to you -

as for the exhaust bolts.. I highly recommend getting brand new studs from the help section at the local parts store.. bolts are ok but if they seize you have no way out - studds can come off two different ways.

Contact Rodney Dickman for the exhaust bolts. He has a stud kit for them. It's not too expensive, and with the stud kit, you run a much smaller chance of breaking something next time you have to pull a manifold.

From what I've seen so far, I might suggest taking a wire brush and cleaning some of what ever you can then hitting it with either a good engine paint or WD-40 as long as you're in there... Keep up the good work! Nice to see both of you so into this project!
