Virtually all modern cars need tenders if they're going to sit.

Nope ;LOL Our buddy has found a new/old home, hope he's happy.

I had this precise problem and as Tom says the EEC system is the most likely suspect. Turned out on mine it was the fuel vapour separator attached to the upper left side of the gas tank. The smaller spigot is quite fragile. Here's a good article reviewing the entire system Is Your Corvette...

Good question. I've never understood the variations in ordering patterns in options from one year to the next, other than seeing an increase in 'luxury' features as the availability of 'sporty/go fast' features went down. BTW- the optional gearbox available on the later C3s was not heavy duty...

FE7 was available irrespective of engine option in all years AFAIK. In 1975 (for example) 3194 cars were built with RPO FE7 but only 2372 were built with L82. In model year 1977, 7269 cars were built with FE7 and 6148 were built with L82. Therefore a considerable number of L48 cars had FE7...

And not surprisingly our Yemeni/Saudi/Californian friend TBTR has picked up right where he left off at his old stomping grounds: How Many Of You Are Running Electric Fuel Pumps? - SmokinVette.com Forums

Thank you.

This might be an alternate explanation

The difference in OD is not enough to worry about the speedo, but the tread is about 1.1"ish wider. Not sure if that will cause a rubbing problem on the front fender or frame.

You don't seem to have very well developed comprehension skills- something you admonish others for. I was not offering to enter into a debate with you over any technical points. That would be futile as you've rejected anything and everything presented so far no matter how well researched and...

Sorry, that's classic troll bait, not falling for it. It's all been beaten to death a thousand times before. Don't you think it's time to find another website to disrupt?

No, because 99% of what you've said is false or irrelevant. You've just reinforced my conclusion you're as full of hot air as the desert you live in. :eyerole

While the electronic ignition kits eliminates the onerous task of checking the dwell once a year or so (oh, the horrors) they do not change/improve performance in any way- unless the distributor/points it's installed in is bad shape to start with. A different coil will make no change in...

You do know that synthetic lubricants were first developed by the Germans several decades prior to WWII, don't you? No, I didn't think so.

Essentially, that's life up here in the winter. It's not unusual to see overnight temps of -30*C/22 below F or colder. Given a fresh battery we expect our cars to crank and fire up not much differently than if it was a hot day in summer. Our lost in the desert friend TBTR seems to be...

You guys in Saudi Arabia sure do weird stuff. Us normal people put the oil in the crankcase, start and run the engines even in the dead of winter and then overhaul them every few hundred thousand miles, as required. Fridges are for beer, freezers are for ice cream.

I see the OP has moved to Saudi Arabia, so wonder why the sudden interest in radar detectors.

Well, you're the one who says 'with these C3s it never stops', so I guess for once you've been proven right. I phoned your neighbour, he said he'll be right over with some unsolicited advice. :thumb

Despite our reputation for being polite, up here in Canada we usually call such people a**h*les.

Crate engines are spec'd in gross HP, not net HP like an installed engine.
