Another Katatak Fiero Adventure! (Page 52/72)
katatak JAN 05, 08:06 PM
Not much progress this week - work is crazy! I did knock off an hour early today as I had to have some Fiero therapy! Had a few little things to finish up in the engine compartment. Got that done and then started looking at the wiring harness - I really need to thin it out. I really do not need all these wires just hanging around. I will strip it down and eliminate any wires that are not absolutely needed. After staring at it for awhile, I gave up. I need to get some schematics and figure out which is which. Just more things to do before I can finish it. Work will have me out of town for the next few weeks so it will be February before it's done now.

More Later!

Really? Taking a long time? Man Pat, as you absolutely fly through this build, it makes me sad that I haven't done anything to my GT other than install the upgraded TLG headlights 3 months back. I have been a bit busy with the little mirror image of myself though. Ahh yes, excuses.

Looking great!



Hey Tony - Hope you are feeling better!

I hear ya on the "mirror image". Fortunately for me - my "mirror" images are all grown up and heading out on thier own so I have some extra time to spend on my addiction. Thye grow up fast!

After spending 3 days under my car looking at my ALT I was thinking about moving mine as well.
Going to use a turn buckle on the bottom bolt so I can tighten the belt with a wrench.

No thank you for paving the way

I was looking at Summit and got the idea from one of these

How's the water pump coming? What do you plan on putting in the stock water pump location?

I am using one of THESE and I really like the profile of it but I have yet to do any plumbing and mounting for my remote pump.

Hey Jim,

Well I made mistake when I ordered the pump - tranposed a couple numbers and ended up getting a 29 GPM pump for an import! So I had to send the pump back and the right one should be here - I was hoping it would have showed up today. I like that Dedenbear manifold. Saxman has the CSR pump and the Dedenbear manifold in the Mall and I am tempted to buy the pump/manifold just to have them. Does it have an outlet at each end? I'm assuming it does - just can't see it in the pics, As for the block, I got the Meziere port adapters that fit the block then take a 3/4" NPT to 3/4" barbed fitting so I can run 2 hoses from the block to the pump. Archie posted some pics of how he mounts the CSR/Meziere pumps and the plumbing in this thread:

Here's all the goodies I bought!

And this port adapter set - no pics but if you go to Meziere's site, you can see what they look like.

Spendy but I think it will be well worth it in the long run!

Spendy is right, my build is on a pretty tight budget. I could easily pay more for water pump stuff than I have paid for the rest of the car. So far I'm only in about $150 for my water header and retrofit electric water pump kit. When payday comes I am going to order another pump and everything else I think I'll need to go with it.

I plan on mounting my water pump under the front hood.
