    build sheet locatin

    I understand that the build sheet is on the gas tank for the 1974 corvette. How do I get it, or make sure it's still there? Do you have to remove the tank? Also where is it located on a 1979 corvette? Same place? Thanks for any info you can give me.

    Carb float level

    I have a 74 that is hard starting when cold. I was told that the float level in the carb should be checked. I have a Q4 on this vette. Can anyone tell me how this is done? Thanks

    Vehicle History

    I just purchased a 1974 corvette. I would like to find out the history of this car. Can anyone tell me how I can do it? The vehicle number has only 13 digits and will not run a carfax.
