My new spark plug wires came in Thursday. So I decided to take a couple photos.





Tomorrow, I'll be going to the drag strip, to see just what this 3.4 V6 can do. This will be my first chance to really open it up. Hopefully, all goes well. Keep your fingers crossed!

We have basically the same exact setup, mine is just not nearly as cleaned up and in good order like yours.

But I have a 3.4 with Trueleo intake, headers, and few other things.

2 questions. What Throttle body are you using? If stock are you going to go bigger?

and second where did you find The DIS plug/ gear thing for the Distributer shaft hole? From a DIS GM car?

The throttle body is from a Buick Grand National (59mm diameter, from the turbo 3.8 V6). I turned it upside-down, so the throttle linkage would be on the correct side.

All the DIS parts were pulled from a 3100 SFI V6. That includes the "dummy distributer", crank sensor, etc. But any 60-degree V6 with DIS will have that. I picked the 3100 SFI, due to the mounting location of the DIS brick. The older 2.8 and 3.1 engines mounted the DIS brick on the side of the engine block (firewall side on the Fiero), down by the starter. That would make it a pain to work on in the Fiero.

Very well done! Dynoed that 3.4 yet?
Blacktree DEC 13, 05:31 PM
I should be getting it dyno'ed soon. Right now, funds are kinda tight. Plus my laptop computer croaked, so I can't datalog. And my old OBD-1 scanner doesn't seem to be compatible with the new ECM programming. So I'm SOL on that front... at least for now.

Right now, the car is drivable. And it made it down the track without blowing up (hehe). But it's not running at full power. However, I can tell you one thing. This engine pulls hard all the way up to the rev limiter (currently set at 6000 RPM). I was kinda surprised by that.

After the holiday season is over, and my bank account recovers, things should be picking up for the Freak project.

Kool, glad to hear that it is running strong. Keep us updated!

Well at least you are able to run down the track and actually work on your Fiero right now. My Fiero is covered in about 5 inches of this white stuff called snow..Ever heard of it? Plus being -2 outside with windchill makes it a little more challenging.

You mean, that white spray foam with the sparkles on it?

Yes, I have memories of snow from my childhood. (I'm originally from Michigan)

Hey, let me know when you go to the dyno,
I would like to see
Blacktree DEC 18, 03:34 PM
No problem, Lincoln. I'll let you know.

In related news, last night I ran a 15.4 @ 91 MPH. While the ET is nothing to brag about, the trap speed seems to suggest the car is capable of mid / high 14's. I need to save up for a new laptop computer and wideband O2 setup, and do some tuning. Because right now, the ECM is running on a "best guess" tune made from a mish-mash of a couple other bin files.
