Hi all. I have been a member for some time because my father owned a C5 and I would help him with issues and questuions. He just sold that car and I dove in this weekend and bought a 1978 Pace Car.

Guys, sorry for reviving my own post. I apologize for not responding. Shortly after selling the family C5 and picking this car up I had crazy work travel that has had me gone and the car in the garage untouched for nearly three months. It is Pace Car number 1116, L82 automatic, and I have started a new thread looking for help as the poor running is kicking my...
