Default complete fluid replacement

Hello all,
I'm looking to do a complete fluid replacement on my 1972 corvette. My father recently passed and wasn't able to do much work on the car in the past couple of years of his cancer.

I'm looking for a complete list of fluids and seals if I need them to change every fluid on the car and any other suggestions for tune up. Please provide weights and quantities for each fluid if you can. The corvette is a 1972 lt1 with factory air. Pretty rare from what I hear.

I've changed the oil but every other fluid has been in there for at least 5 years.

I'm planning on keeping the car till the day I die so please know any time you spend responding to this email will be to the benefit of keeping it in the family and running for generations as it should be. My 4 year old daughter and mechanic assistant is already looking forward to getting it. Loo


Thank you

Go to the GM Heritage Center at this link:

Look for your car and it should download a pdf of specifications for you.
