Good eye Patrick! Yes, I have that too. I pulled it off to see the condition underneath before pulling it. But I plan to make sure those items are well protected when I pull; the plenum off to replace the rest of the lines. I will also add a heat sink under the distributor to reduce the heat on the ICM and coil pack... I have some spare computer parts and I think I have something small enough to fit under the distributor.
Thank you for the link! I like the look better than that space suit wrap on there now. ------------------ Aaron H 1986 Fiero GT 2.8- A dream car of mine since childhood- Stock now, but looking for creative options to upgrade this wonderful car

A heat sink under the base of the distributor certainly extends the life of an ICM. I did that mod ten years ago and my already old and used ICM (in 2008) is still working fine. [This message has been edited by Patrick (edited 12-24-2018).]

Thank you! I got all those goodies from the pick n pull, and been diligently working on her to get the bugs sorted. At least she's a daily driver now- mostly. LOL I still have moments where I feel unsure if the car is going to start- time to look at my grounds.
How about your project? It looks like you are moving along nicely! Can't wait to see the install steps you take. It's inspirational!

The spare connector coming off the VSS harness is for the backup lights. It goes to the reverse light switch which is somewhat hidden under the transmission levers.
Careful with bending that EGR tube around. They break easily, especially when used. Be sure you get the restrictor disk that goes between the tube and intake, or be sure to retain the one from your engine.

Well, I closed my trunk and a huge chunk fell off the tail light so I finished the job. Grrrrr
I’ll probably go with some custom lights anyway later so not a huge deal except these are impossible to find.
