MASTER CYLINDER COVER
****************************************

Due to the Mr. Gasket master cylinder cover shedding its chrome over time,
I switched to Billet Specialties polished aluminum cover.

Not sure which one, the larger of the 2 was the right one.

AC CLUTCH COVER
****************************************

I also went a Polished Billet AC clutch cover from Mr Gasket. This one is installed and left on.

ALTERNATOR FAN & PULLEY
****************************************

Then I finally decided on March�s Alternator Fan (MCH-221) and pulley w/ cover (MCH 112).

Only problem was that there was not enough machined out to fit both the lock washer and nut on. I had a shop machine out enough to fix this and blue loctited the nut on.

Due to a recent upgrade to an ASP under drive pulley,

I went with a smaller alternator pulley than stock. It made quite a difference. The alternator with under drive pulley before was putting out 10-11 volts now the atl is putting out the correct 12-14 volts.

ANODIZED PIECES

I had to do something with the stock radiator cap since it sat right next to the new polished stainless wiper reservior.

Then the stock oil dipstick handle was a terrible eye sore...so I picked up a matching handle for it!

I also got my hands on some matching 10mm bolt head caps for the intake!

Now before I went to the Fiero Valve covers I also had an oil cap to match!

Hey sweet FIREBIRD! I like how you cleaned it up and relocated everything. If you see any cheap one's for sale you should send me a message. I'm looking for one to redue. If you get a chance look at my jimmy i rebuilt. Later
