no outlet, but i run a few extensions cords from the house out to the garage and im not sure how many parts yet.. maybe we should wait till the weekend after? in hopes of warmer temps and more parts?
Is there anyone close to Bobadoo who has a good kerosene or propane heater he can borrow? I feel his pain, even working in 20 to 30 degree temps sux, nothing worse than banging a knuckle in freezing temp except maybe trying to get a hard to reach bolt or nut started!
Someone has to have an extra heater they could spare for a couple of weeks!

i have to check my storage but i'm going to see if i can find one of my space hearers... they work great and less of a fire hazard.
A kerosene or propane heater would be much more efficient and is no more of a fire hazard than an electric space heater if used properly, but right now I would say he just needs whatever he can get to help make the work environment a little better. It's rediculous to even try and work in those temps. Finally_Mine_86_GT, help get this guy hooked up with something to make the job a little more bearable.
that's nothing that some plastic garbage bags and some duct tape wont fix. then the little space heater i have will heat that place right up... i'll try to look for it tomorrow.
This is a Garage you could let a good fart go and not to worry to bother anyone around you jk lol...Dear God I hope she hold up for you ..and not to get hurt in there ..I wish you all well whit your car to get it finish ..I hope it warm up for you soon ...Rob

no, sorry I got the auto cable selector holder a few hours ago at the junkyard, it will all go out this monday I promise. did you need the air cleaner cap? how about the nut that goes to seal it? you still need pics of how the one part of it mounts?
i feel his pain about the cold im to cheap to buy a space heater so i just wear 3-4 layers tight shirt big shirt hoodie coat sweats trackpants jeans 2 socks per foot and boots

no pix needed.. now that i looked at that par i know how it goes... i think id need the 2 that hold that peice on, that peice, and whatever else i told you... i have he nut and top
and no worries! still too cold!! all i need is ONE DAY~! on day of nice weather and ill get a bunch done..
UGH... ok i TRIED so HARD to work on the car today... ( i also had to change Alex's oil..) we had a heat wave... 23 degrees...
then this
the end of the brand new Rodney bolt broke off.... and it sucks. i dont blame the product, i hold Rodneys quality high.. but i bet it was the cold.. cause i was no where near overtightening.. as of right now the end is stuck in the socket.. and the socket isnt hollow so i cant poke it out.. now i hope that if i just tighten the nut, itll be ok...
tomorrow is supposed to be 30-32.. ill try yet again.. gonna put the top intake on i think..
man I really hope it warms up soon! poor Jerry comes in everyday stompin and throwing things cause it's so cold out! .....i reaaallly cant wait till Daytona!
i'm going to try and make it out there soon... i'll look again for that space heater tomorrow.
by the way there is a trick to get them to go in without the tip on it... put one nut on a little way down but leave threads on bothends of the nut... thread a second nut on it, back the first one out and tighten the second one till they meet.. now just slowly tighten the outer nut... when your done and you have the stud torqued simply put a open end wrench on the inner nut and back out withthe outer nut... easy...right?

The flu hit me like a brick wall 3am monday morning and after a visit to the doc office at 11am monday, returning home at 1pm I just woke up at 10:30am tuesday. (well, a few other tinkle breaks and a call to the boss) feel alot better, hoping to catch ups today... that goes for everyone I promised shipments too, sorry.

well. ive discovered that the alternator is the worst thing to do in a Fiero. ever. Ater taking off tire i also saw this..
Have you got replacement bolt/nuts for the struts? If you can pick up part# AK30 from monroe, they are replacement cam bolts. They aren't very expensive, $7.44 at www.autopartsgiant.com , they should be available at most parts stores. Otherwise I know someone has to have some decent ones laying around, I'm sure I could scrape a few up if I could figure out how to get them shipped.

meh no biggie.. weather is supposed to warm up here.. im patient.. we are taking Alex's car to Daytona.. som im just doing what i can, when i can! and now thanks to Back On Holiday, i can do alot soon!!
My camera ran outta battery juice in 5 mins.. so you gotta deal w/cell pics..
the garage had a sheet of ice for a floor almost had a few spills..
air box+bracket all in!
here is my power cable, under back exhaust manifold (opposite trunk side) i hope its connected to all the right cables...
this connector is near driver.. what is it for?
What goes here?
Got the bracket (thanks to Back On Holiday) but it seems im missing some little piece(s)? anyone got em?
This is about where she stands All vaccum hoses connected, fuel lines, newer distributor, MAP sensor, top manifold has all of the bolts hand tightened for now..
also.. there is an outlet on the lower intake where does in connect to? and does anyone have THAT hose? (to the right of distributor)
i also took the seats out to put on these REAL nice covers i got from Gordo+Big Red long ago
OK! so need some answers (and parts) so you guys can yell at me to get back to work!!
monday and tues will be dedicated to finally replacing Alex's head in her Fiero though

Yeah, that is for the idle air tube- it connects into the back of the throttle body, just below the upper plenum. And no, I don't have a extra one laying around, sorry. BTW, the seats look good
and im not sure how many parts yet.. maybe we should wait till the weekend after? in hopes of warmer temps and more parts?
o yea and the heater thing.. would help a bit.. but this is a problem...
and not to worry to bother anyone around you
