Motor gently through the grease mud, for there lurks the skid demon!

Very cool insight from guys that were building these cars, we appreciate your work, Bob!

I wish I've seen this thread earlier as I had the exact same problem as you a few years ago and I could've helped a little - the hose to the fuel pump inside the tank was shot on my '85 2.5 and spraying gas inside. I believe I fought that for a year or so until I solved that and my thread for that was pretty long too.

I think I've seen quite a few of you engineers and workers register here and show some rare stuff just recently. Not much of that before, like you guys were hiding away . It's like a resurgence of some sort. Hope it does well for the Fiero legend!

Cebix,

I'll see if I can scan some of the old 1980's Polaroid pictures we took of the suspension gages we built for Teledyne Monarch, Entech and Pontiac. They were a very expensive package and way more complicated and advanced than anything I had ever seen used in the automotive / stamping level of production tooling at that time.

GM sure spent a large pile of money just to do dimensional measuring of press stampings and weldments! I'll put up a new post when I get them scanned and ready to upload.

As for the softened and split short hose in the tank...my fault for not being 200% thorough and replacing the whole nine yards. One little mistake cost me a few days, a few dollars in unnecessary parts and a second drop of the tank. Doh! Like I said, when I was into things that deep I just should have went 100% new parts. Shade tree mechanic mistake!

That would be awesome! Anything coming from you guys that developed the car is very rare even after all these years!

I started the picture post about the gaging in the General Discussion forum.
