Looks good and I love the look of the PRJ fuel rails in blue and the VC you went with. You will love the car once it is on the road and going and all the work will be worth it.

Can you comment any more on the correct setup for the passenger side axle, I have the GTP inner (trans side) pods and the fiero stock auto axles, nothing else, I'm trying to figure out if I can just buy one more axle to make what i need....

not sure myself, goal #1 is to get the car started and then i'll work on the axle and some other problems. my AC hose (rubber) broke off at the crimp when installing it, i'm assuming it got too hot at the weld shop and only needed me to tug it to come loose.

I also learned a new thing, I went to plug in the auto trans line onto the shifter on top of the trans and it was too short? I stopped and thought, this springy part must be adjustible... popped up the access cover and wow adjustible
i'm so psyched, this part is the most fun the installation and getting things together, only need to buy a few little things I didnt think of like the accelerator retainer for the N* TB, right now a tie-wrap is slipped into the hole, a few of my extended wiring parts are slightly too long, a few I was able to make brackets to compinsate, and also helped get further away from the exhaust (front underneath by gas tank) but I did make the crank/cam wiring section about 2 foot too long for some reason LOL right now its just temp tie wraped underneath as its a back burner thing that will get done before driving it around but after i'm finished the serious stuff.

can you explain at all what you are using for the tensioner on the low mount alt setup you have made there, looks like the stock GTP dogbone bracket is installed as it comes and then something is sitting on top of the left lower bolt that holds a tensioner (from what??) And What size belt did you use for this side? Looks GREAT otherwise

update: since sat night I've been strugling with some flu like symtoms (except the craps and vomiting) today I managed to drag my a$$ out of the house and do something constructive until the dizzyness got too much.

heres a back view of my tensioner


progress pic, dont know if this will work and if it does how well it will do, but I have a intake Y, one filter pulling air in from the engine compartment, and another from the side scoop side, I also had to re-route the coolant line using a cut piece of 84-87 SS coolant tubing, it doesnt look good right now but eventually it will get cleaned

AM I missing something? why would you ever want to put that second air cleaner inside the engine compartment and suck super hot air from next to the exhaust into the intake????

Thanks for the pics of the tensioner, i guess that is a piece of flat steel that its bolted to which is then bolted to the cylinder head?

an experiment, I switched it back to 1, didnt like it myself. felt like crap today but felt somewhat better around 3:30pm today (well, had to get out of the damn house) went into the garage and got some stuff done. (dont mind me im out of it now) I think I need good spark plug wires, and think the plugs were hand tight but dont know for sure why the "Hot" red wire smoked at the end of the last video, wish I could celebrate right now but wasted.
