There's a small hole in the center of the rods, and in that hole is a recessed plastic rod.

I tried jacking it up, and connected a charger directly to the battery cable at the starter, the other wire to the frame, and a wire from that to the keyhole. It still won't pop. But I did get a look at the belt routing. It looks like the routing for a 3800 NA.

Awesome!  Odd lid.  A little pirple power and some elbow grease, some vacuuming...

The decklid vents are solid?

That's a 3800SC?   I've seen stage 1, 2, 2.5, and 3, and this doesn't look like those.  Mayby just a 3800?  Or a 3.8?

It's a 3800NA. And there's a vent (rear facing scoop) on top of the deck lid right above the engine -- you can see the underside of it in the picture. Because of that vent, the side vents weren't considered necessary.

I think it's a Mustang hood scoop mounted in reverse as an extractor type vent.  This is the rear view of the car as it sat the first time we saw it.  You can see the scoop in this view.  I have a pair of regular vents that I will be taking down to Pat's today.  They can be swapped out. 


It looks like he mounted the engine dogbone at the front of the engine due to the high mount alternator.  Wonder how he attached it to the firewall.

A cleaning will totally change the character of that car.

How strong is that firewall

I gave it a bit of a bath. It looks better in this picture than in person.

The transformation is incredible!

The Fiero behind this one almost looks like a reflection.

So, the front bumper of the other car is on your silver Formula.

With my luck, by the time I get down there, this project will be done.

I was just looking at an enlarged picture of the engine and see a big portion of the #1 plug wire missing.  We're possibly going to have to do other wiring repairs, too.  Mice have probably had a feast.
