If you can find a consistent 0.5 HP from turning the pulley of a compressor that is disengaged, I will be amazed.

fiero in/outlets are 1 5/16, so you'll need to find some standard app hose.
Info from fieroguru on his 26" rad install which uses the same standard chevy connections:
Coolant Outlet Hose:
88 owners are in luck!!! Autozone hose #886812 ($11.99) (282 is the large # on the sticker) is a near perfect fit! It has a 1 3/4" end and a 1 1/4" end. The 1 1/4" does need to be shortened about 2", but once done it connects the radiator to the stock coolant tube
84-87 owners need to go hose shopping for something that will fit their application.
Coolant Inlet Hose:
I did not find a complete hose for this one, but I am not done searching for it. However, Autozone hose #885830 ($9.99) is an "L" shaped hose with a 1 1/2" on the short leg and 1 1/4" on the long leg. Cutting the stock Fiero hose and splicing this hose in will make then needed connections. If you still have the plastic fishnet stuff on the stock hose, it will clear the two hose clamps and cover up the splice.
I suspect it will work on all fieros, I don't think 88's are unique in coolant hoses or anything
edit for more info:
Stock upper rad hose
Stock lower rad hose
Also listed as stock lower rad hose
Bringing it back here. Did anyone buy a rad from Ron Davis? Whats the verdict?

Not yet. I might still if AC brings the temps into the undesireable range... Won't know until I get that installed.
