Alright after a long time of researching and buying and waiting for shipping all the way out here in Japan, I finally got to hear My 81 run for the first time since i replaced the Q-Jet. Everytime i took something off i found 10 more things to replace "while i was down there" I am amazed at how smooth and clean this thing is running

Holly 1650
Fuel Pump and new lines
Brakes lines all around
Radiator(WAYYY TO EXPENSIVE)
Water pump
Thermostat
valve covers
throttle cable
EGR delete along with all the smog garbage
HEI non computer controlled distributor
plugs and wires
radiator hoses
belts
a/c deleted (still waiting on a/c delete plate)
heater core bypass
Headlight rebuild kit(why so many small peices!!)
wiring harness
Optima battery
aftermarket sterio
radio entena replacement( never doing that again)
New carpet throughout
brake light switch
rewired entire brake line wires
Still running through my Vacuum system to find leaks ive replaced most of lines but theres a few that were not hooked up and im trying to figure what it needed and what has been ripped out and no longer needs those lines.
alternator(found this one locally from a friend with a Nova)

After all this she is running great,
I wanted to send a Thank you out to all of you on this forum for your support advise and experience that you have given me during this renovation im sure down the road i will have plenty more to ask. You guys are Life savers, and soon this car will be on a ship headed to Cali so ill be looking for a Corvette club near Port hueneme
 
No way Im on Foster, i could have used a vette owners help through all this the only local place i know to get parts is Yasu
