New 1985 Vette Owner

Hello everyone,

Just acquired a 1985 Corvette. Seems the previous owner(s) removed the EGR. not sure they did the delete right but time will tell.
CUrrently the car will not start. tries to start but will not turn over. I will try a few things and check the forums for answers before asking for help.

I am 57 and reside in Utah. Call this my Midlife crisis Sports car LOL.
But seriously - looking forward to getting this running and improving some features (I.E. brass Headlight motor Gears)

thanks for letting me join the group

Welcome and congrats on the purchase of your C4. When you are ready to seek advice for the issues with your car, the C4 Tech/Performance section of the forum would be the place to pose your questions. Lots of knowledgeable people in that section.
