Hello a new member . Jim . 3 weeks ago purchased 72 Stingray 350/auto/factory A/C. I just started looking at unit now that weather in Long Island gives me a chance.
Unit needs electrical work and have to get this engine running better 350/250HP 8.5 C Ratio.Retired last year and always wished to purchase a Vette. Worked as a mechanic for OLDS...Chevy
and Porsche (unit repair). Had a Foreign car repair center mostly Asian and German repairs..many engine repairs ...manual trans...and clutches. Last 24 years serviced medium to heavy duty trucks and equipment.
Looking forward to this Vette and the issues...want to restore back to OEM condition if possible .Hello again from LI NY.
