Default Special C3 Thanks

I participate in this forum since December 2005 approximately. I bought my dream C3 Corvette about 9 months ago.

I want to give special thanks to a great person that have excellent experience with Corvettes and is member of this forum.

That person provided me important technical information that I needed months ago and that I need actually to work with my 1971 Corvette. He provided me technical papers related to Front End Rebuild, How to Set Timing, Holley Carburator Set Up Paper and BG Carburator Set Up Paper.

Special Thanks to Lars Grimsrud from Puerto Rico!

Is the gun used shoot through exhaust pipe or add additional ventilation to the block? No I think it is used to increase the CFM of the carb, yah that’s it!

As a newbie, I concur...his suspension rebuild paper made my service manual look like a joke. I could actually understand what he said and he drinks my brand of beer.
