Another 67 L79 Corvette story.......

[napa68]

Gary is a very resourceful and talented individual. On top of that, one helluva nice guy. A true asset to the hobby

Gary is good people and a C3 guru, wrote the book on early C3's, literally

I figured out the dwell meter reading issue - user error.

My dumb@ss had the meter hooked up wrong. I borrowed a friends meter to check mine and he reminded me how to connect it. Amazing what happens when you do things the right way. Anyways.........the dwell is correctly set now (really correctly set) and the car runs great.........so much so that I flung the A/C belt off it on the test drive. Lucky for me I had a brand new spare. Installed the new belt, adjusted the other two, re-installed the ignition shielding and can check the box on that part of the project.

When I get the vacuum switch next week I will get that installed and button up the glove box to finish that project as well.

Shout out and thank you to Tim S. for letting go of these really nice factory head pipes for the car. I was willing to wait for them but he graciously packed them up and shipped them to me. This is the first piece of the puzzle to return to the undercar exhaust as it was delivered.

A little bit of Evaporust and they will look like new.

Remember, proper Evaporust procedures require careful supervision

Not much for update pictures but lots going on behind the scenes.........

Gary finished the vacuum switch rebuild and I picked that up yesterday at breakfast, it was installed and the glovebox buttoned up right after I returned home. I received two sets of original keys and a spare tire lock from Steve Walker on Thursday. I have a 7-1-3 dated 3810 on its way here, then off to Eric for a look see.

The previous owner replaced the power steering setup my Dad installed (using OEM parts from back in the day) with a generic reproduction system and the pulley wobbles worse than Dave and I after a Friday night at Gibsons.......so I have a proper NOS GM pulley on its way along with a correct reservoir cap to make it look a little more correct. An original fan clutch has been deliverd to Kirkconnell for restoration as well. My vanity plates showed up and they are on the car.

Next up are the upper control arm bushings when I get some time. Making progress though.

Blessed and Happy Easter to all.
