No problem, I'll keep you in mid if I pull it.

You're going to like the manual. It changed the entire flavor of my car.
If you can find a later (~93 Beretta) Getrag with the hydraulic throwout bearing, the VSS will work perfectly with the Caddy ECM. It will also have a sturdier diff.
(Not that it's a big deal to come up with the adapter for the VSS.)

Nah, do an F23 swap with the fuel economy final drive! (3.61 compared to 3.84).
That's the sad part. My final drive is still 2.73.

Well, What I really want is a 6-speed, but that will probably never happen, I've already spent way too much money on this car. So it will probably be either a Getrag or a Muncie with the 3.32 final swapped in.

Hmmm, you really serious about the '85 GT look eh?

'85s didn't have rounded moldings, and certainly didn't have the GT badge at the back like that, it was a decal, kinda like an Indy has. Maybe I'm just being a nitpicker and should stick to looking at that nice Allante manifold swap

Haha, I know the differences, I have an '85 GT too. I'm not too worried about the round moulding, and hadn't decided if I was going to put that rear GT moulding emblem on yet. I do have a silver GT decal to go on the decklid. I just like the aero notchback look with silver ground effects, and since it is a GT, I'm going to put the GT stuff on it. I know the hardcore Fiero people will notice, but I don't really care. Just never liked the fastback look, looks too much like some other cars in my opinion.

Fair call, and I agree whole-heartedly

Keep up the good work!
