umm, for the tool or the car? (or both?)

the little tool is clamped in the vise-grips...

I have been removing the butyl rope from the car. it's amazing how you can use a ball of the stuff to help remove what is stuck to the car and leave no residue. pics in awhile when i finally get it off the roof panel also.

the sad truth is i really did not know which he meant...


Ok, I just felt like taking a lot of pics tonight. In summary the first pic is of the butyl rope that came off the car. all of it... It is about 3" in diameter.

The next pics just show the areas where the butyl rope was and how nice it came off just using the ball of butyl... Like the blob, just roll it over the stuff you want off a couple of times and it becomes part of the ball.

And the roof panel:






This is the roof back on the car to keep the cats out.

Ahh. I've got a crack in the A-pillar, that's why I asked - to see what exactly came off.

the rear clip is finally off. it took a while but as before the helpful threads here on PFF made it as easy as it could be.

Charlie, it was good to hear from you yesterday. I was thinking about a few things after we talked and I think I am just going to add the oil through the 1/2" small opening hole on the valve cover is where the tube goes in. Its going to take a little longer to add oil that way but there is no cutting or drilling needed then.
Also I found a way to wire in the tech, its off the crank sensers on the side of the block, I will just need to replace the tech chip I think, that way I can use the stock tech. If I remember right its a green or purple wire that gives off the pulse needed?
Did I miss something, whats going on with the red Fiero, is it a parts car?

P.S. the replacement ring will be in the mail today.

Just preheat the oil and it goes in fine...

The tach wire should be the middle wire in the three pin coil pack connector that has coil pack power and ground.

Thanks Will for answering that, I did not have a clue. Hi Bobby, the red 86 GT is a good running car but I like the fastback better than the coupe so the plan is to swap the body over to the 88 along with the electric windows, locks and mirrors. while I am at it I can change dew wipes, clean up the power locks and repair whatever needs it. the yellow coupe body will be going onto the 86 car and i will most likely sell it to get a little more money for the aurora car. (and a lot more room in the garage.) Thanks for all your hard work and help with the brake setup!
