Hello
Joined the forum 4 years ago when I got my 84 rolling chassis. They removed all the doors and body panels. I spent the last 4 years replacing or refurbishing everything. Wheel bearings, brakes, ball joints, u-joints, polyurethane bushings....everything came apart. Rebuilt the engine, rings and bearings, hotter cam, springs, lifters, roller-tip rockers, Edelbrock manifold and carb, new HEI distributer and headers. Had the 700R-4 rebuilt (Heavy Duty)
Real close to getting it started for the first time. Just have to figure out how to wire up the fuel pump, starter and ignition. I can't wait, but all these minor details keep popping up. I'll be asking a lot of technical questions now.
Thanks,
Jim

Congratulations on your work, Jim!
Best place for answers about the wiring, fuel, etc will probably be the C4 section of the forum. I'd suggest the Tech area at https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...erformance-48/.
Please post some pics once you finish everything up.
