Nice work there! Word of caution - be carefully lifting the Fiero up by the deck lid latch. It can bend or worst, it can rip from the car.
I have seen it happen. The best way to lift the car is with that black brace, on the front side of the trunk. Use a strap with two hooks and hook it to the holes that are on either end of the brace.
If you need a strap, i have one. Let me know and I will bring it over.
Oh, if you still need a 7730 computer, I have one.

Yea, I'm going to use the black brace next time, the latch didn't look pretty after that.

I don't think you fit a cradle through the top.

Agreed. I put a bolt through the dogbone bracket on the firewall and lift from there. It works great.

Today while I was working on modding the 7th injector to make it less visable (7730 computer), i hit it with a hammer to get a piece off and the whole thing went flying. And it landed right into this sump pump thing that goes down below my basement. There's goes that piece, no chance in ever getting it. Now what can I use to plug that hole on the side of the intake?

Edit: Oh and what can i use to plug the coolant fan switch hole too?

The 7730 computer I'm switching to doesn't use that, the computer directly controls it.
