To those of you who have requested copies, I had wanted to get it out
this week since Ken was nice enough to send the source to XXENCODE
*however* my Fiero developed a cold in the alternator (the first
symptom was when I took the key out of the ignition, the A/C blower
kept running - try troubleshooting THAT).
Having never seen the alternator, I consulted the service manual which
told me where it was & to remove wires, two bolts, & the fan belt then
"remove from bottom". Right.
Also disconnect engine strut, rear suspension, remove right rear
wheel, assorted brackets, splash shields, & the oil filter, mostly by
feel. At 2 a.m. I saw the alternator. Just like writing software.
In any event, am now a little behind & with the Muscle Car Nationals
just up the road a bit this weekend, will probably not get to it
before Monday but the requests are all in my "todo" bin. RSN.
Warmly,
Padgett
