I am using picturetrail and I think the setup is "medium", I will adjust it to "large".

Nice Fiero. Good luck with it. You'll like it if you just remember that you own a 34 yr old automobile and it will need some attention. Things like belts, hoses, rubber bushings and old tires often need replacement. Then the little things like dew wipes, headlight motors and a tune up can often be needed. Sometimes odd things will turn up but that's part of owning an older car.

RPO sticker:



Jack still in place (looks like new)





So cool that you still have the RPO sticker. Most of them survived, but only a few years had them covered with a plastic sheething. Many of them were white-washed due to brake fluid spilling out on it. They're nearly impossible to get new (unless someone knows? ... would love to replace mine).

And the tire jack... so funny. It looks 100% original and complete. It EVEN has the original rubber band holding the armature down!


I assume you already know... but there's a lot of great parts at http://www.FieroStore.com, also the Fiero Factory for used parts, and... Rodney Dickman's website for some other aftermarket and Original Equipment Replacement parts.

Back in the day, we had the "Big Fiero Parts Book," which I still have, but nearly all the sites are out of business.

Also, here's another good link, the Fiero Online Service Guide: http://pontiacperformance.n...rticles/OSG/osg.html
... lots of good static information and articles on the OSG.

For the age of the car (and knowing how many of them where "forgotten" or "abandoned" for not being functional like vans or sedans, or the bad reputation created for the recalls) it looks like it was well maintained most of his life.

Is always good to have different sources of information. I am collecting a lot of the information in Evernote, I know maybe I don't use all the info, or not at the same time, but will be good to have it as a "Improved Service Manual".

Here is a quick video of how the engine is running...




And one more of the interior of the car.

Definitely a leak with the front exhaust manifold. Might just be a blown out gasket, but it's probably a cracked manifold. The problem with an exhaust leak there is that (believe it or not) outside air is actually sucked into the opening and this throws off the O2 sensor, resulting in a rich condition and poor gas mileage.

Nice looking GT...Congrats.

Judging from your video, your manifolds may need changing and lucky for you I have a fairly decent set that have been ported.

Let me know if you're interested....Cheers

P.S. - For a new headliner, do a search for Russ88TTop - He has great products and does great work.

If you need a headliner done take it over to Classic threadz in Abbotsford. He has experience with Fiero headliners including T-Tops
