Thanks for the tips and sorry for not getting back to this right away. (I work away from home). I did get it figured out but it wasn't at all what I expected. It turned out that the splines on the distributor shaft had stripped so the distributor wasn't spinning! A replacement distributor and I was ...

Here's the background: 2003 Chevy Astro 2WD. Driving the van to Tucson about a month ago the battery light came on and the voltmeter dropped to 12v. Turned around and got the van home though it completely drained the battery in the process. With a charged battery the van would start but would run ro...

Hell its even worse for me. I've a veteran but I was a reservist. So not only do I not get discounts now , I didn't get many discounts while I was in either, because Reserve is not "Active Duty". Although I will say when I was in the CAC IDs actually said "Reserve" on them, they ...

I have the Autozone shackles, have had for many many months, in fact, just waiting for the time to install them. hopefully will attempt over Thanksgiving break. I'll keep ya' posted, may even start my own thread for it... Any news on these Shackles? I would love to know how you like them... Did the...

What am I missing? Seems like a $1500 car all day long. What do they get for mpg?

I would have said $2K or maybe $2500 if it was in real great shape. Only Fieros worth more IMO are ones with well done engine swaps.

Wow! For $6500 that had better be one nice Fiero! Yeah, I'm no expert but unless it has a 3800SC or 350 swap, I'd say its definitely overpriced.

Dunno, didn't see a price in your post.

DO EET!

Fieros are cool. Join us over at Pennock's Fiero Forum when you get her home!

To be clear, PammieSue was complaining of a sulfur smell immediately before her symptoms begin, which is a usual indicator of a cat problem. However nowhere in my short suggestion did I recommend she delete her cat. AFAIK it is illegal to delete a cat from a system that originally had one in all 50 ...

Actually, that's a M931, a 5 ton. The M35s are 2 1/2 tons (hence the title "deuce and a half").

Here's a decent M35 for $4K:

A sulfur smell indicates a general catalytic converter problem. Poor drivability combined with a sulfur smell usually indicates a clogged catalytic converter.

True, forgot WVO.

Wow that is cheap. Fuel consumption must hurt though. Yes and no... You're looking at about 10mpg, 13 tops. However (and this is a big however) they're multi-fuel vehicles. They can run on diesel, gasoline, kerosine, and even used motor oil. (well, a 50/50 diesel/motor oil mix). So there are ways t...

My new obsession is a Bobbed Deuce. Basically taking a surplus military M35 or "Deuce and a half": http://i897.photobucket.com/albums/ac179/jqroxy1/photo.jpg removing the rear axle and "bobbing" the frame to create a big-ass 4x4 on the cheap (Retired M35s can be had for about $25...
