There are several people wanting to know were I got the air can from. The can is out of a early 90's 3.1 V6 Beretta, Cosica. Lumina Euro. The can has a metal base that I remove and then mount to the Fiero Air filter base with the spider removed. On Nolan's 3.4 I ran a 3 inch intake from the Air Scoop that I installed. I welded a 3 inch mandrel bent tube to the air filter base. So it is 3 inch from the scoop all the way to the engine. I can post pics if anyone wants them.

Thanks for that!

I was looking all over for an air canister like the Fiero's that has an offset inlet. That's the challenge right there.

Nolan,
When Tony and I were over there Saturday, we were joking that with the slight coating of dust on your car, it was probably the dirtiest it'd ever been.. Whaddaya do to that thing, take a toothbrush and q-tips to it every day? It is Sooooooo clean..

I was fortunate in that the original owner was meticulous with his care for the car and the second owner was a collector that had stored the car and seldom drove it. That makes keeping it clean much easier.

By the way, I understand that the car is now runnig but with some issues that Joe is in the process of sorting out.

Thanks

I spoke with Joe today. There were a few wiring bugs and other minor issues but he has them resolved. Just have to get a new power steering pump as the one that is installed (which is also new)is squealing, charge the A/C system, new alignment and get a Dyno tune done and it sounds like she will be ready for Fiero Fest next weekend!

Thanks for all your hard work Joe!
