Good to know, I'd been idly considering the monzas for a while now.

In 99% of the classrooms that the average american might actually pay attention through, evolution is the only theory on the origin of man that is presented with ANY kind of emphasis. [/i] That's because it's the only theory on the origin of man with any kind of credibility (ie. significant amounts...

I'm seriously thinking a 5.3 with an aluminum flywheel might not kill my trans. ... 270 torque Just don't drive like an idiot. People at that level of torque are not blowing trannies while smoothly accelerating, they are applying huge inertial loads instead. The aluminum flywheel will help you a lo...

Is the oil only on the flange/head of the bolts then?

Nice score :thumbleft: I don't dig the wheels , and I agree that it needs a spoiler or a wing... Might fill in after you add the rear vent though. Nice Fiero though, looks like it's received it's share of love.

That's kind of an odd choice. Why did you pick the 2.0 over another quad4 or something? Just curious as I've never heard much good about those sunbirds.

4) I know the anode MUST be iron (replacing FeO(x)- ions with Fe- ions, right?), but I'll be damned if I know what other element the other would need to be so that it doesn't produce anything too toxic or flammable... Zinc maybe? Um, the other element is the part you're removing rust from... The el...

I used that toreador red on my quad 4's IDI cover, it's a nice color.

To deal with regular movement of the firewall relative to the fuel tank?
I always thought the rubber lines there were to facilitate tank removal :la:

I think oven cleaner might work.
Just be aware that when I've used it to clean aluminum parts, it leaves them a fairly dark, dull grey.

Yep, I've done it (accidentally) before, there are commercially available products that will strip it. Can't remember what I was using. I bet certain paint strippers could even take it off. I was using some kind of heavy duty cleaner or degreaser IIRC.

I'm assuming you don't want to remove the whole line, but if you did, you could just take it to a place that does hydraulic lines, and they could put a new end on it for you. What's the inner lining of the braided lines made out of? You may be able to use the same kind of fitting you would use with ...

You still want any fuel that does happen to make it's way into the vent line to be able to drain back to the tank.
I guess it would be pretty difficult for liquid fuel to get very far up the vent line regardless.

I don't care for them at all, but that's just personal preference. Those must have cost quite a bit.

Have you tried other cars at the junkyards? Like something else with the 2.8 or 3.1? Camaros, cavaliers etc.

I like how he claims to be selling it for a friend.

It's like "I have a friend with a really small penis"

That intake looks amazing; good job.
You can get clear(ish) high temp epoxy, and just get the pigment seperately.
