Another slow morning.. Replaced oil pan gaskets, rebuilt power steering control valve and replaced power steering hoses.. They were leaking a drop every couple days so this should cure that.. Not bad, just annoying

I have a 1970 428 Mustang, but never thought about putting a scoop like that on a Vette. Can you please post more photos?
