This pic was borrowed from weloveour86se.  The red ones are positioned beside the stock ones which are in place.  You can see the tubes coming out of the trunk wall and going to the ignition coil.  The one pointing at the back of the alternator is a little obscured.  In addition to the tube, the alternator has a metal shield on it that captures the air from the tube and helps direct it into the alternator.

3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Perfect picture - I don't have those. haha

Someone in PFF also posted that pic today on a thread I have there too.

I will work on the Car this Saturday morning and possibly drive my other addiction to the Club meeting. Well since I have only been to one meeting last year I guess I need to stay consistent and have another this year. maybe that way I will get the bug to get my Fiero someday.   I will bring all of my extra parts to donate to the donor car.

Much rather put them there than the trash when I clean out the garage this spring.

Finally got it to stall consistently - a fuel Pump change is going to fix it. I am waiting for the engine to cool down then the tank is coming out.

I hope the meeting was good - Hopefully I can get this on the road solid after this weekend.

When it starts to stall the fuel Pressure dropped to 20 and fluxing - the Battery read 13.8v while running (seemed a little low but the car was running for an hour. so it was hot)

The test light stayed steady at the power on the aldl pin.

Pump is replaced. The car didn't blow up when I turned the key on and after the second time I had 42 psi. I will start it outside of my garage in the next few days.

thanks for all the support. I will post here if it stalls again. I may need an ECM upgrade if this pump does come through.

If you're thinking about the 7730 upgrade, these cars, if V6's, have the EGR and the 7730 ECM's.  Get as much harness to each as you can get.

Good news - The Pump solved the stalling - I really want to claim victory on this. I drove it around town for the first hour with no hiccups so I took it onto the highway for a 18 mile run - check good - then I let it idle in the drive way another 15 minutes.

- no issues putting the load on the electrical system.
- no stalling at all.

Putting this issue to bed.

Starting a new post though TCC started to act up again - I just replaced it.
