Thanks for an informative forum.

A week ago I bought a 1990 Corvette with the entire top end down to the intake manifold in the front seat.

I was told it was an oil leak and fuel injectors that led to it being taken apart.

I've decided to put it back together with my 17 year old Son and make it his. He is fired up about it. (I would have been too)

I've read some of the rules, especially about buying and selling. I plan on buying.

Tried to call our Forum Fuel Injector Guy, guess I tried too late, I'll call in the morning.

Meanwhile, I'll move on over to the C4 section. I enjoy taking pictures, but I don't know if I have rights to do it yet.

By the way- Fayetteville, NC is where I hang my hat.

Ordered the fuel injectors from fuel injector connection today, $169.

Meanwhile I'm cleaning/painting.

Going for the black look, though I painted the alternator aluminum.

Took The front brakes off and painted the calipers aluminum also.

I also shorted the hot alternator wire against the throttle cable cutting the last inch off.
