r/fiero

I am looking at replacing the fuel sending unit on my 85 as it is getting fairly rusted. I looked at the fiero store, but shipping is making it too expensive ($100+), so looking at option B. I have read a couple of people have used S10 units with some minor changes. Wondering if anyone on here has done it, what year S10 was it for and what alterations were done, besides the hoses.

Can't find any rubber ones online anywhere, even Fiero Store. Pretty sure mine are original ie: destroyed.

If Poly is the only option, which are the softest and least squeaky? I want it to be comfortable, I'm not trying to make it a racecar or have to lube them up

I'm in Iowa and it's time to sell this beautiful lady. Where/how do I get it in/to an auction?

This 56 Vicky has been in the family since 2004. My father drove the car and worked on it up until he passed away at the end of 2010. That following spring i parked the Vicky in a more secure area of the garage. The car sat, untouched, until my mother passed away in 2022. It was now time to get her out of the garage and see what we were looking at. We didn't have do to much and the Y Block was running really good. Drove it around a lot over the next 3 or 4 months and ended up putting her back into storage at the end of year. Fast forward now. Pulled her out of storage in Livingston to bring her to Billings and she won't start. I got as much of the old gas out and we have played with the adjustments to the idle. She will fire up, but can't get her to stay running. Any ideas? Any help would be nice, but I can take her anywhere until she runs.

hey everyone, thanks in advance for reading my post. i'm pretty new to this but my dad is an avid car enthusiast, has a few vintage, and used to be a mechanic. i daily drive a '91 s10 blazer. i found this fiero on marketplace for a little over 5 grand. owner says it has been driven in the last two weeks, has been garage kept, and is in great condition with a little over 100k miles. im wondering if this is an unwise buy for a beginner mechanic. open to kind redirection if necessary :)

Tried fixing my piston myself, big mistake. Sent it in to work with my dad so he could press out the insides. Long story short, the piston is unrepairable. Spent the last few weeks looking for a replacement. Been checking every local junkyard, nothing. Finally found one in MI last week, been calling everyday trying to set up delivery. Come to find out it just got sold out from under me to some guy in Alaska ffs. It’s been over a month of trying to find a replacement and I’m at a loss. Any suggestions? I need to get this car back on the road.

It sounds like it’s accurate… is this normal or should it not rev this high?

1985 2.8 with 3 speed

I have a 86 v6 se I was running the code scanner and the first code flashed was Vehicle Speed Sensor. I can't find one of those when searching,

Does anyone know what that reference is?
