73 Stingray
Folks, I have just joined the Corvette Owner's Family, I have always loved the style and design of the Corvettes but really admired the C3 version. My dilema is this,... to what extent can I modify this car and still consider it original? The numbers match on it but the Carburator was replaced by owner #2 and is a Holley 650 with an aftermarket Air Cleaner, I'd like to get a Rochester, but I really want to bring it into the 21st century with a FAST system and MSD ignition Systems, but I don't want to degrade the value of the car or its originality. with only 53k on it, the car is a solid investment, but I'd like to improve the reliability, tunability, and Horsepower. Any Suggestions?
