Will got all the wiring done last night with Harrison's help.We tryed to start the car,it would run for a few sceonds then die.today i tryed to atart it again same thing,unpluged the MAF sensor and it ran with a high idle and as sone as i plug the MAF wires back it dies.Also checked for vacuum leaks dont seam to have any.The 3400 ran great till it was pulled so i don't think it's the MAF sensor.

Took the fiero out for its first drive around the block a few times,the 3400 sure has more get up and go to the 2.8,the cold air intake sounds great almost like a 4 bbl carb.Have a few things to take care of before go for a good run.Need to do small ajustments on the clutch cable brackets and a pulley needs to be mounted a little better so its not as noisy and it should be good to go.

So i bot new MSD coils wires and E3 plugs for the fiero.Put the MSD coils in and started it and went for a ride to make sure it run,then do the plugs and wires.But my new alternator i bot 6 months ago was way over charging  almost 18 volts.So off to lordo and get a  exchange,changed the new alternator and all go 14.74 volts at the gauge and at the battery.know i can do the plugs and wires.Heres a pic of the coils only.
