    rear window vents

    The vents were part of the Astroventulation system. But on A/C cars they were not operational. But all cars had the grills. Sounds like someone glassed them over. All '74 Vettes were Stingrays. The Stingray name was standard, it was not an option package or anything like that. tom...

    what type of oil??

    For a stock engine any good quality 10w30, or if it is worn a good 10w40. You want the multi-weight so that the oil will flow quickly at start-up and get to the wear points as quickly as possible. tom...

    Gas Tank question

    Is that to allow air into and out of the space between the bladder and the tank so that the bladder will shrink as the fuel load goes down and expand when gas is added? Just a guess.... tom...
