Hi there,
We picked up a 78 vette last year, has the L82, and runs pretty good. I'm in the process of replacing the gauges with Dakota Digital VHX gauges as well as the OEM stereo. Taking me a little time as I'm not the most auto technical. I will say that I'd like to kick the person who that that was a good place to put the fuse box!

Welcome to Corvette Forum! Any L82 C3 will always be a favorite of mine. Be sure to check in with the C3 forum. A lot of good info and folks there.
