I just watched some of your videos on YouTube. I must say awesome job very informative and you are hilarious. Whatever you decide to do I'm sure it will benefit someone.

thanks.
i'm really not *trying* to be hilarious, maybe i should change my sig to "Kansas city's own village idiot"
i'm making "how-to" videos. but if my personality comes off a bit odd, well, then that's just what you get with a fiero owner.

it's taking forever to upload to youtube right now. probably cause everyone is trying to upload family holiday photos.
i'm gonna give up for the night after the first part of the spark plug video gets done

i'm uploading these videos right now.

removal of the distributor
install of the distributor
replacing the pickup coil
setting ignition timing.

door hinge bushings are up.

anyone wanna add suggestions?

How to take out the dash and the headliner. Alot of people have asked that in the past.

Look what i've found:

quote 1 remove headliner (i need to do this to my 84)

Oh yea, you should rebuild your 84 distributor. The pickup coil is different from the other years, or do they all come apart the same way?

How about a video on how to fix the fuel level sending unit? That one isn't so hard to read but would be helpful to see everything before your covered in gas and dont want to get on the computer.

It seems vacuum leaks and exhaust manifold problems are common amongst Fiero's, perhaps a video guide is in due order

they all are pretty much the same.

what fun...
i get to replace my V6 water pump.

"bleeding coolant"

Water pump bolt extraction howto video coming up then??

Good Morning --- how about gauges? Replacing stock with aftermarket - oil / water / tach & speedo. Or how to change the crystal on a speedo-conversion? Finding a 120 (or better) to replace the old 85 mph is getting to be a real challenge. Seeing a pro remove tear into and solder would be very helpfull. Thanks

Headliner, headliner. I'm going to have to do this soon. No idea how to start. I was thinking of putting one of the plastic ones from fiero store in it. I didn't know if they will sqeek or make noise, or if a cloth one would be better.
The install of the new one is what I need to know how to do. I know others have wonderd as well.

you guys are too funny

to clue everyone else in on the joke,
What these guys are talking, I had my waterpump start leaking on my way home from work one night.
No big deal I thought, I’ll just pick one up on the way.
I start taking it apart and 3 small bolts and one large bolt broke.
So while I’m spending the next few hours extracting broken bolts I notice the outer ring on my balancer has slipped and is starting to rub on the front cover.
(you cant make this kind of stuff up I tell ya)

I got the 3 small bolts out, and a used balancer from a friend. So it all worked out after a few days.

i've got the removal part online, i still haven't put it back in the car.
but really installation is just the reverse of removal for the most part.

I have the plastic headliner that I covered in vinyl, I am quite happy with the results, though I may put a pad or something behind it as I think it causes some squeaks.

I have a bunch of pictures here: http://gallery.fierodomain....Xanth/new_headliner/

this sounds like a ba idea and maybe

quote Originally posted by BabyVet: How to replace the center consol and trim pices

I already have those videos up.

but apparently i keep forgetting that people want a clutch bleeding video.

how about "how to remove a dash without cracking it". That would be a fun one .

I came late to this thread, but I've seen the Buddycraig video about headlights.

My request is for a video on replacing the TCC solenoid and third gear switch on the (V6) auto transmission. Seems to be a common problem and a job that lots of us have to do. But access and visibility are tricky, especially if you have never messed with an auto box before.

Like many other Fiero owners who are amateur/DIY mechanics with limited knowledge and few specialist tools, I find a how-to picture - especially a moving one! - is often worth a thousand words...

Go to it, Buddy!

I would love to see a video on replacing the door glass.

Heck, and anything else related to fixing stuff in the door.

Hey Buddy,
Your videos have been real helpful in the past. How 'bout :
E-brake Adjustment or How To Loosen Stuck Fiero Electric Door Locks (Article on fierodomain.com).
Thanx & Keep up the good work.

How about fixing leaks -

> Distributor O-ring
> Axle seals
> Valve covers

Have just thought of another one...

How about a video on changing/replacing the wheel hubs?

I think I need to change the rears on mine. I believe its possible to do the job on the car (ie without removing/dismantling the knuckle and rear suspension). But I'd like to see someone else do it before I try it myself!

i've already done both of those...
somebody isn't paying attention.

I need the Maltin's Guide to Buddycraigg videos ....

I can see the capsule reviews now - "Rebuilding headlights - I laughed, I cried, I mashed my finger!"
