I had ordered some compressor 'O' rings last weekend. They arrived today, and were sealing washers, not compressor port 'O' rings. I spent about two hours on the net looking for a number to try to look up to get the correct ones. I located OEM # 02724674, which is AC Delco #1530169. I called O'Rrilly's in Huntsville, TX They had 9 in stock. 83 cents each. I drove the 32 miles each way and bought me 4 of these. If I was asking for these by application, 91 Cad Deville, AC & heating, compressor seals, etc they were not listed. I found this OEM number at http://gmpartsgiant.com/

Got these from the Fedex truck today:
I just have them stuck on there for now. I have a jack underneath to keep it level. I am pretty happy with these.

I bet those do work great. I ran resonator tips once and they were great. Been considering a new set myself. I really like those. Nice choice! Can't wait to hear them also. First drive is edging closer......[This message has been edited by Fieroseverywhere (edited 06-08-2010).]

The biggest problem I have right now is finances. I am having to put money away for next years taxes. They have gone up for this year that are due Jan. 1, 2011. I also have my wife's car in the garage with the alternator out being rebuilt. I can't hardly see the Coupe right now, much less work on it.
I did make some progress on working out the AC lines yesterday. I have all of that ready to go back on the car for final test fit before I have the hoses crimped on the aluminum tubing.
Yes I also am pretty happy with the tips. Not bad for $15.00 each, and stainless steel too.

I know what you mean. I'm getting married the end of september. There is no money for anything else, and probably not enough for what needs to be done. We'll make do however we can. May be time to sell one of the fieros.

I got some wiring done this evening and turned the key . She fired up on the second turn. It had to build fuel pressure. It has a bad miss again just like it did at the end of last November. I am thinking that the injectors have gone to Hell again. I poured a bit of gas down the bores and it ran a lot smoother again. I am thinking of getting a set of the Ford 4.6 injectors off of E Bay and quirt wasting my time with these Rochester dog turds I have.
I also need to know what dash light should come on when I turn the key to the run position for the bulb check.. I am showing:
Door Ajar
Seat Belt
Brake
Service Engine Soon
Volts
Oil
I am thinking that the 'Temp" light should come on. I am not sure what else should be on. The Service Engine Soon light goes out after a few seconds of the ignition being on. Is this correct? It has been so long now since I drove my 86 I can't remember.
All gauges were working, Oil pressure, Volts, Tach, Fuel and Temperature needle went to the far left line on start up. Speedo went to '0' MPH.
More tomorrow, I am gonna pull the fuel pump fuse and fire it of with just some 'poured in' gas down the throttle bores to check out a few things.[This message has been edited by josef644 (edited 06-17-2010).]

The "temp light" only comes on during cranking. And only if you've done the fix....
http://www.fierosails.com/tempgage.html
Before the fix your temp gauge pegs instead. I prefer to switch the wires at the C500 & dash instead of the sensor itself.
Check engine light - Should turn on for 2-3 seconds with key on. After startup should turn on again for 2-3 seconds. This tells you the PCM is working properly.
Fuel gauge should not peg on startup. Is that what I read happened?[This message has been edited by Fieroseverywhere (edited 06-10-2010).]

No I was just saying that the gauges were all cooperating, and working as they were supposed to. I'll have to check into the 'Temp" light and see what the deal is, and watch my coolant gauge to see if it is dancing while cranking or not.. Were the 88's miswired also?
