Thanks!

When working within a budget, you either have to think small or learn patience. I'd rather be patient.

Ha! I've heard and said that before. For some reason it never works out that way. There is always "another small change" you want to make. The word "done" does not exist in fiero language.

Everything is looking great so far. Keep up the excellant work!

Just a quick update: that little oil pressure sender I installed turned out to be the wrong one. It was an "idiot light only" sender. As a result, my oil pressure gauge didn't work properly. I replaced the sender unit with the '88 Fiero style, and now the gauge gets a reading. I was still able to install the sender unit directly into the engine block, but clearance behind the A/C compressor was really tight.

I got some goodies from Moates today: a "Burn2" chip programmer, and an EEPROM chip with adapter. I was able to program the new chip, and drive the Freak around a bit with it installed. WOOHOO!

Here's a photo of the new chip and adapter installed.



NOTE: In the fall of 2017, I replaced the 7730 ECM with a MegaSquirt. You can read about that on Page 13.

Unfortunately, I haven't done much work on the Fiero lately. It's just too freaking hot outside. For example, today the actual temperature was 97 degrees, with a heat index of 110. Forget that!

Do you have wideband to check your A/F ratios after you burn dif chips? BTW: It's looking good.
