Old Guy with 77 Corvette
Just got started here and hoping to meet some people with the same aches and pains I'm experiencing. Always wanted a Corvette so I bought one.

Just spent 12 hrs getting every thing under the dash hooked up and the dash pads on, what a job, starts up and all works, rebuilt the steering colum as well, the wiring diagram was a big help Thank you!!!!! Had a problem before with the servos for the heater ducts, perviously worked over all the vacumn lines and new heater control, have good air flow now, Im happy!!!! Next the rest of the interior.
