That poor Iron Duke in Fiero installation had a total capacity of 3.5 quarts. Between the valve cover, front cover and oil pan leaks and a little oil burning, they could be empty very quickly. A real shame. Not much margin for error.

We had 3 Fieros over the years. My daily driver was a 1987 2.5 5 spd. plain jane. I bought it at 129,000 miles and put another 100,000 miles on it driving 100 miles a day out the GM Milford Proving Grounds. It was mostly trouble free. I could get over 40 mpg on the freeway. I really liked that car. We had an 86 SE that was the first car for each of my 2 kids. They had a lot of fun in that car. When my son had it he probably made over 100 runs over 2 years at Milan Dragway with the Royal Pontiac Club. Racing with your kids, I don't think it gets any better. Those Fieros were a great family project.

Looks like the blame game will be played.
Sorry for the destruction, but why do people want to live in a flood plain? There is a reason a flood plain is called ................................a flood plain. According to the article, they lost 10 vehicles to a flood in 2017??? We had a town about 30 miles from here that flooded about every 6~10 years, and the residents would just keep going back. The state finally figured out that buying the town and moving the residents was the cheap way out. After they bull-dozed the town, made soccer fields, and other sports fields where the town had been. When the floods came, soccer games were postponed. But, very little damage. Jon.

I just saw on the Poncho Perfection Facebook page where Fieros Forever is giving away all parts not destroyed by the flood.

What a shame.
Working at a Pontiac dealer back then by 86 most bugs where worked out. 87 & especially the 88 GT V6 M/T's where a blast to drive. Almost bought a used low milage 88 GT back in mid 90's...

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
