Just curious if anyone has any experience replacing this part. I will be ordering a new one and am not sure if I should be ordering a fiero specific one, or GM or if it really matters... any help is appreciated!

Are we talking about the 2.8 V6? I'm not sure if Fiero-specific harmonic balancers are available anymore. Most people buy one for another vehicle with the same engine (like an S10 or Camaro, or whatever) then transfer the timing mark over.

The Dorman part number is 594-013 for 85-87. This is the same part you'll get from TFS.

The timing mark is different.

After mine was replaced I checked the timing with an adjustable timing light to see where the new mark falls. For #1 cylinder that is 40 degrees and #4 42.5. I think this would be in advance.

You can also do the procedure to get top dead center and then make a mark on the new damper or you can get products that wrap around the outer ring to give you the correct mark for different applications. They had them at a Pep Boys in the service department.

I used this light, Innova 3555

Have yours remanufactured at DamperDudes.com

I bought mine from damper doctor.

Plug-and-play. None of that transferring marks over nonsense.

Plus, if you're replacing the balancer because your original has slipped (the reason I changed mine), you can't use the original part as a reference.
