I had an 84 Fiero 25+ years ago. Ran great. One of the things to remember is check your oil level often. The Fiero got such good gas mileage that after two tankfuls I could be running a quart low on oil from normal use. As the oil level got lower, the engine ran hotter. Then you had plastic fuel injection right on top of the engine which would sometimes begin leaking, causing the engine fires that plagued the mid engine design.
Hi ..ur gonna want to get a small propane torch, heat and penetrating oil are your friend. ..I learned a ton about interchanging newer components. thank you
Like the others said, it's the tachometer filter. Basically, a capacitor that evens out the spikes in current. This is going to be one top of line Fiero when done!😉
One thing about the alternators, the older style was available in 65 amp as well, my 1985 GT had no AC, but a decent about of other power accessories, and it only had the 65 amp alternator stock, I am also planning on upgrading to the CS series
Also tach filter is the trivia, with the picture specifically being Rodney Dickman's oem replacement. Also, P.S.A. this is at the top of Rodney's site, make sure you get everything you might need from him asap, as he is closing unfortunately. "We built a home in Denver. A 55+ community. We have had it for two years now. We go there for a week every two months or so. But we are not happy there. The lot size is minuscule and I only have a smallish 3 car garage. So we are selling it and looking for a different home in the Denver area. An existing home. We do not want to go thru a new build again. We both want a larger yard and most important is I want more garage space. All my life I have been a garage person and I like to make things etc. Ideally we will find a home where I can add on to the existing garage or put in an additional garage. So my plan now is to take my business to Denver. But: I am not making much of anything anymore in my shop here. I am also not restocking many items. You may have noticed some of my parts are out of stock now. That trend will continue. Once in Denver I will probably just sell out my existing stock and as I run out of things discontinue them. Hopefully this all happens in 2024. Once we start moving out of our home here in Wi there will be a few/several months when I will not be able to sell anything."
Some people care more about restoration than modification. Personally, every old vehicle I get, I want it to be the way it came off the production line. Unless it's necessary replacement.

Great content and delivery. Keep it going and hope your subscribers grow.
I own a 87 Grand Am with a Duke. Only 93,000 miles! Love the commercial at the end of the video

Fieros ROCK!!! good job !!!!!
Great video. FYI: (1:00) The crankcase is the lower section of the engine where the crankshaft is, not the top section where the rocker arms are.

Awesome project. Awesome video. Love seeing young folks turn wrenches on the cars I grew up with!!!
Tachometer filter for your RPM gauge. I replaced mine but it didn't fixed my problem so now I'm looking in to buying a refurbished circuit board.

AJ, why rebuild the Iron Quad Puke engine. There are other choices, like the Olds W41 Quad 4, or Ecotec 2.0l turbo

My first car was an 87.
Looked like a knock sensor.

Nice to see a young person taking interest in something like this! My nephew is about your age and all he wants to do is play video games. 🫤
