Default Wont start
I am new here. I have the opportunity to buy a 1984 Corvette. The problem is that it wont start. The battery has never been dead and stays hooked up. Cranks over and has power. The interior lights come on and the security light blinks till you shut door and then goes off. Any suggestions will be helpful. Thanks

Spray some "quick start" into the throttle body.
If it turns over you have a fuel problem.
If not its most likely an ignition problem

Sounds like a problem with the injectors not getting fuel pressure. Have you checked them ?
