Hello vettrod people new to site as of last night. i am working on a 73 corvette convertable 4 speed with hard top. its a project car that i bought from a guy who bought the car from another guy. and it has been sitting since the early 90s this car came with 12 plus boxes of brand new parts still in the packages. and the recepits. the motor and transmission is new no dirt at all really clean had never been started or oil installed in motor or trans. was told car was going to be a ground up restor project and first owner got bored then second owner put car in garge had kid and never finished. then i got it. the car didnt have a carb or spark plug wires. i installed wires new carb added oil new battery turned key and the car fired right up needless to say i was over joyed. the hard part is i dont know whats inside the engine its is the 397010 block. i found the orignal owner phone number and called him nice guy but then again so are most corvette guys.he told me that what he remebered is that it has a corvette cam and that the crank had some work done to it but he had never run the car so he wasnt sure. well sorry for the long wind lots to say. its been a year now and i still have a lot to do but fun
