It's difficult for me to remember to take pictures when I'm involved.  I would have to set out to do a photodocumentary to be successful.

Yep, that happened with me, too.  My wife had to remind me, if you recall.  MikeMac thought that was funny.

Anytime I see a post with a lot of pictures I just imagine GTRS Fiero seeing all those pictures and reacting like the first part of this:

For some reason the video starts at 4 seconds, you have to rewind it to zero to get the full effect.

I could really use a picture of the clamp installed.
How about a scan of the drawing on the blister pack. Mine was kind of worn, and the drawing is only 2" high, but I managed to get this:

That is very interesting.  Not a Fiero, obviously.  The purpose of the picture is to show usage in a Fiero.

The angle of the bolt in the bracket is interesting.

Thanks for the effort, though.

It could be on a 3.1 or 3.4.  Works for all 3.  I can see the bolt being at some slight angle as the clamp is tightened down.

Perhaps the clamp was added as a hand drawing to an existing engine drawing, and whoever drew it didn't get the angle correct.

Excellent.  It looks as if it still had to be modified.  Also, it appears that the CTS would have had to be removed.

You are correct on both.  I tried to install it but the CTS was in the way.  I removed it and the bolt was at an angle to the hole, so I had to grind off an area to get it to clear the ridge on the timing cover.  Once that was done, it worked perfectly.
