I am sure RWD knows, he has been a massive help in his posts about A/C. |

Yes, it is required for the plug. All Fiero's have them. It does look out of place though for sure.

AeroDon had a solution for the unfixable squeal. Being a service tech for a diesel fleet, he found that a Freightliner belt solved the problem. It was a little meatier and filled the V groove of the pulley, giving it more contact surface. It didn't sit down into the pulley because it was thicker. Stock Goodyear number is 15730 for reference. It may be different on engine swaps. |

I was going to look into that. It appears that a couple of numbers got transposed. It should be a 15370.
37" sounds about right, since the stock belt is 37", according to the 22P. The number given was for a 73" belt. That... just didn't sound right.

Yes that is Required.
All GM and many other have same Diode there to Stop Power Surges when the coil is turn off.
Dorman & others sell pigtail w/ the Diode.
Must be installed right or Diode blows & car will have problems.

Not a big deal. Thanks for the tip. I appreciate it.
Seems like I remember Don talking about that. But I've slept a few times since then, so... 
My new belt just arrived this afternoon, so I'll report back in, one way or the other.
Probably in a few days. Have some farm equipment repairs to get out of the way, first.[This message has been edited by Raydar (edited 09-11-2023).]
