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. Tom |

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?

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. |

I will try to take a better pic and find parts numbers. The cap is about the size of a quarter and is threaded with a flat side on the "circle" top. The bendy strip is about a foot long. I am 99% sure it came off of the engine as it was in that pile of stuff. |

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.

I powdercoated all my stuff and it wasn't a problem. Thanks man. I am good to go there...I decided against using powder on those and the shroud (used a ceramic spray paint and a spray clear coat). I have heard stories on here and decided to avoid them. I even ground the paint I put on there to be sure I was good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) |

Small black cap could be the cap that goes on the PCV valve (inside the oil filler box). About the size of a quarter.

I haven't taken off the filler neck yet, but did the PCV. I am not seeing it. Thanks! |

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.
