I am finally starting to make some progress. I have the engine all built (stock 2.0 w/ the help of Jakes video) and the car painted. You can see I have the dizzy in pieces ready to be reassembled. Believe it or not, it was full of glass! Somone had obviously busted out the back glass in the middle of a tuneup. The engine was covered in it and the dizzy had chunks as well. One of the springs had popped off...no wonder it was running like junk. Where do these two pieces go? One is a cap with a flat side and the other is just a bendable piece which fits over some edge...some where. Thanks guys!
Bogaat,
Looking good. Can't help with where the parts go, sorry.
If you are using the fuel inj., make sure you do a continuity check on all of the connectios while you have it out. Also check all of the wiring from the 12 pin connector at the relay board to the different places those wires go. I did mine while the engine was out and found several bad connections. Keep up the good work.

The long black piece is either a vacuum hose or trim for the engine grill edge.
The other round thingy appears to be the plastic plug to access the torque converter bolts. Goes in the round hole in the back of the engine case.
Thanks for the reponse on the parts...both wrong though. Those pieces are all in and accounted for. Any other thoughts?
Here is the beast before I tore into it...
Well since the photo is dark and I can't tell relative size to anything .... and yes, I pulled it into Photoshop and tried to blow it up and lighten it.
Last two
Heater "J" tube cap off .... '74 and above with only a single feed from the blower to the HEs
Window "fuzzy" strip
So, whadda ya want for free? Throw 'em into the trash ... you don't need them.
How'd you get everything so clean?
we need a paint smiley.
If you can't find where they go it was probably over engineered anyway.
The long black thing does look like it covers the edge of sheetmetal somewhere.
the "bendy thing about a foot long" could be a piece that fits on the edge of the engine tin that is the vertical piece on the flywheel end of the engine, like an edge guard. the rubber seals in the mounts in the engine bay will touch the edges of the engine sheet metal. i think that piece is a "guard" on the end/edge of the sheet metal.
Looks great! One small piece of advice.... Make sure you are getting a good ground between the alternator and the case. I think powdercoating the alt brackets can induce some resistance. I powdercoated all my stuff and it wasn't a problem.
Small black cap could be the cap that goes on the PCV valve (inside the oil filler box). About the size of a quarter.
One down...bendy strip...see number 35

It just snaps onto the bottom of the PCV valve. But it doesn't stay on very well. It's very common for them to fall off and you'll find it in the engine recess where the oil filler box sits. Luckily they can't quite get all the way into the engine.
