It's looking great. That dry chem really got into everything.

Interesting that it has an exhaust balance tube right at the manifolds. Is that original ?
Engine compartment looks like a different vehicle.... outstanding, but that is the way of the Corvette Whisperer...

Some days, the idea of parking my brain on the side and doing some mind numbing work is just what the doctor ordered. Cleaning parts is the order of the day.......
 I did get my fuel pump back from AG Rebuilders. They have great turn around times!   Now, it's time to jump into the starter......

Yep, it's time to clean that up, replace the brushes and maybe bushings and it's good as new.
Reminds me, I have a front brake caliper de-rusting in Evaporust for about 3 weeks now...  Hope there's something left of it...

It would be therapy for me too, until I tried to start the car and nothing worked.

More discoveries (and thus progress) on the F.I. unit. The choke housing on the air meter side was filled with dry chem..........shocking. It was also discovered the #1 injector nozzle was pretty plugged.
 Then this cracked nut was discovered on the #7 cylinder   Things are progressing though. The unit is just about complete, I should have the transmission back this week, and it sounds like the engine will be on the dyno this week as well!

I assume the builder was able to just replace the nut and a ferrule ?
It all looks so clean now. BUT, that weld on the table is bugging me, I'd need to knock that down and smooth it out...
