OK what wire by the distributor im not sure what wire i need to put the weather pac on. any one with a picture?

There is a tan wire with a black stripe that goes to the ignition module's 4-way connector. This is the bypass wire, and it needs to be disconnected from the ECM so base timing can be set.

hey darth, i havent gotten around finding that short due to the weather mostly. but jon was talking about it like he was expecting it to happen. he said its from the angle of the injectors on this setup and their proximity to the UIM. he said he delt with that problem too. so i get to dig in and find it. and im thinking of ways to keep the insulation from being worn down again. ------------------

That's cool -- you find it when you find it; there's no rush (unless you are in a hurry). But it would be a good idea to find that problem and get it fixed so you don't end up frying the ECM.

well i am in a rush sorta. im trying to get the car driveable to a carshow about an hour and a half away on the 21st. this wiring issue along with the rain is just one BIG interruption for getting more tuning done.
ok, nuff of me highjacking this thread, back to the 7730.  ------------------

I guess I forgot to ask, should I put anything on the threads of the knock sensor or will it be okay just putting it in and setting the torque to 13 ft/lbs?
For the EGR plate, where do you get those bolts? Is there a specific length that I should get?

If you are installing the knock sensor into a coolant drain port, then you should use some liquid teflon paste thread sealant on the threads. DO NOT use teflon tape!
For the EGR plate bolts, your local hardware store should carry socket head (uses and allen wrench) metric cap screws. The thread diameter and pitch is 8mm x 1.25. Length is something you will need to measure; but if you extract the stock Fiero EGR studs, you can use that length + 5 or 10mm for the long bolts and I think the short ones for the EGR to adapter plate need to be 20mm. NOTE: bolt lengths given are measuring the length of the shank/threads and does not include the head of the bolt.

After the 7730 conversion, I have a battery drain now? Can anyone think of anything from the conversion that would cause that, I am still trying to trace it down.
