1984 Corvette Coupe
Custom TP L-98 383 Stroker
Holley Dominator EFI System
Coated Long Tube Headers
New 700 R4 Transmission
Vigilante 2400 Stall Torque Converter
Dewitt Direct Fit Radiator
B&M Transmission Cooler
Original 84 Bose Sound System

Released from active duty (ARMY) last February, finally found my 80's dream machine and was able to get it.

Very new to how the car works as this is my first "real" car. ( all my other auto's have been $500 rust trucks that I have fixed myself )

If anyone has any resources for engine / transmission maintenance, or any sort of documentation as to help me better understand about this beast that would be lovely.
Or any sort of manual or documentation or know where I could purchase or download a manual for the engine/trans/anything.

I would like to replace the entirety of the sound system with more modern audio ( not loud but good solid sound, the amplifiers have gone out on all the speakers as they hiss like a pit of snakes) as well as the old radio head unit, I would like to keep the classic 84' style though.


Oh and I picked her up for less than 11K
