Thank you. Waiting for the machine work to get done for my 383 stroker build and trying to redo the front suspension as well as new wiring harness in the meantime.
I’ll try to post pics as I get the ball rolling.

Carter Electric fuel pump came in the mail late today, 10am tomorrow she goes in and then a run in drive,
and Saturday Night out to a car meet and greet, will post a few photos
Well after a turn of events (unforeseen) lol I have just got the vette back today, the day after I put the new fuel pump in, tried to fire her up and she refused to start, chased it back to no spark bloody hell
played around for awhile and ended up getting a new coil for it, hoping that would fix it, it didnt, ended up looking like the module
so had the ***** with it and put it into the shop, they played around with it for the last two weeks, replaced a couple of leads, grommits, and hoses fixed it up and picked it up today
wow
is she hauling now, i am just waiting to get it into a local speed shop to hit the Dyno and fine tune it, will see how she ends up after that
but right now, just happy to have it back
The Stingray has just come out of the shop been away for the last 10 weeks, lots of small things done and man did it change up a few things
So we thought what better to do on a Saturday morning than take her out to breakfast
lots of work under the bonnet and around the car, brakes work a treat now after the master cylinder was re sleeved, one of the leads was rubbing on the headers so we got some clips which hold them out of the way, suspension bushes make the rear nice and tight, new electric fuel pump, some new fuel lines, new coil, module and cap on the dizzy, radiator has been fully rebuilt, new clips to hold the twin thermo's on.
taken her out the last two days and what a pleasure to drive
It was clean the cars day today, nice relaxing Saturday, so nothing better than to get outside in the brand new shed built for the cars, the old 9x6 will now be the workshop, this new one is where the cars will sleep from now on, just reviewing Scissor Lifts before I pull the plug on one to make it easier to get in under the bugger New 10 x 6 Shed, undercover work area, love it

Nice C3 for sure! What model carter pump do you have? I have been a big fan of the carter 4070 pump for years. Had one in my 460 ranchero and currently using one in my 65 gto for 20 years!

Raised White lettering is always a good thing to see, today the girlfriend got out with a special rubber glue she uses in her work and did all 4 wheels for me, end result looks amazing
