Review of my recently purchased 1974 Corvette Stingray L82.
Update: since this video was taken the following have been corrected:
replaced faulty ignition system: new HEI system, new wires (no more burned wires), new plugs.
Timing reset and tuned.
Transmission: new o-ring on pickup tube (internal leak - trans had trouble shifting and going into gear), trans flush, service (new filter and gasket), Lucas trans fluid.
Rear end differential service
New rear spring bushings.
Coolant flush, new thermostat (OEM 180 deg to replace installed 195deg) engine always got really hot.
New factory recommended primary jet, #75, installed #73. May experiment w/a #74 I bought with the #75.
Next to do: steering box, new seatbelts (springs gone), front bumper cover, getting cracks.
Exhaust going to factory original. Neighbors think its loud. LOL
replace heat riser, sticking.
See My update: 2021. I'll explain what's has been done since this video was made almost a year ago.
