Good! You will not be disappointed! Make sure you read the entire manual. If you have any questions or concerns about setting up PM me if you need to!
Mount the pump as low as possible |

Man, I ran a bench test and the CWA200 moves.
QQ- what kinda of coolant are you running?
While looking at a youtube video, I hear that G-48 coolant should be use to lubricate the pumps.

Yes, the pump will move 50% with direct 12V but wait till you install the controller. It makes it wine!
This is what I use because at most tracks they don't allow regular OEM coolant, its too slippery and can cause havoc if spilled.

Sorry I am late to this. I have a 93 formula firebird LT1 in the back of mine. I run a stock water pump with a champion radiator in the front. The car runs normal Temps, heats to 220 ish when it is stuck in traffic (and I mean 45 mins of 2 mph traffic) runs 190 on the freeway. You do not need to run an electric pump, but since you are working that I hope it works. My issue was with the radiator, the car overheated when I first ran it. The new radiator took care of that.
I have not changed the plugs but the front 4 look pretty easy from under my car. It would all depend on your exhaust set up.

I have a champion 3 row on order, I'll be taking one step at a time and see what works with the least amount of effort.
I am happy to say , replacing the intake gaskets was really easy. I was able to fix my intake vacuum leak. Unfortunately, I still have misfire. Hoping that replacing the spark plugs takes care of it.
Thank you to everyone for the great input and help.

If you can't make your own, shop for remote water pump adapters for LT-1 on the net. I remember seeing some, but can't remember where.

Out of the water pump blocking plates with the NA fittings how are you making the transition from an NA fitting to the stock cooling system?
Are you using something like this?

Nope not that kind of adapter. See my picture above showing the remote thermostat.
1. The inlet to the water pump is from the bottom of the radiator with the usual fiero lines and custom/cut radator hose.
2. The outlet from the water pump goes to the TOP fittings of the blocking plates using AN hose and fittings.
3. The water outlet from the engine, from the BOTTOM of the blocking plates, go to the remote thermostat housing.
4. Regular rubber radior hose goes from the "goose neck," on the remote thermostat, plus Fiero lines to the top of the radiator.
5. The heater core hoses attach via T-fittings. From thermostat housing to core, and return from core to water pump inlet.[This message has been edited by cyrus88 (edited 08-31-2021).]

I'm still trying to figure out the connections but I am sure I'll get there.

Luck has been on my side so far.
Changing the spark plugs has gone pretty smooth, I was able to get to the first 4 ( closer to the trunk) by removing half the exhaust. The other 4 ( closer to the firewall with a few extensions /swivels and I had to cut down a 3/4 wrench.
Here are the plugs that were in the fiero. TB is located on the Right Side.
Please let me know If I should be concerned with anything. I replaced them with Bosch Double Iridium pre gapped at 0.055 . Old one were gapped at .045.
