Corvette Gods Were With Me

[Rich80]

My 80 has been sitting for almost a year without spark. Last week I finally dropped off the distributor to get a pickup coil Installed. I actually figured that out myself. (Unbelieveable) I decided this morning to go get a battery, pop the distributor back in, hook everything up and see what happens (Had the fire extinguisher there too) I set the distributor as close as I thought it was when she came out. The engine turned over about 5 times and she started. I moved the distributor (Timing) around till she stopped backfiring when I would gun it. Runs like a clock! Going out right now to mark the timing marks and put a gun on it. Been Cleaning it all day.....

Hope to see you on the turnpike. I'm just North of you in the Lehigh Valley. I hope you did change the oil.

It sat for a year and that's all that was needed??? Nice... Too bad ya didn't do it 11 months ago

Along with that oil change, don't forget to get some fresh gas ASAP and get some liberal shots of Carb & Choke cleaner into your Qjet... All that old fuel has started to turn to varnish.
