Default I bought a 92 Corvette, if anyone wants to get hands dirty.

Yep, I picked up a 92 Corvette. I got it pretty cheap, but it needs a few things. First thing we are doing is putting an opti spark and water pump in it. I also ordered a window weather strip kit and a few other things including a power window motor.

So the plan is to do the opti next Saturday the 5th if anyone is up for getting dirty. If your scared of the opti, come for moral support LOL. I will have beer, water, requested drinks, pizza for all that help.

To see it, follow my fquick link in the signature.

Cool, I thought I had a vented chain cover if you wanted to upgrade to the vented, but I can't seem to locate it.

Ok, anyone that says an opti on a vette is hard has never done one or should not be working on cars. We spent more time cleaning and bs'ing. May 1:20 max to do it for a customer's car. Max.

Thats allright, it only took about 2 hours. Easy as hell, I would do 10 of these before I would want to do another vortech intake gasket. We spent most of the day screwing around, drinking beer, and bullshitting. Of course the ******* alternator came loose on the maiden voyage(due to the dumbass that worked on it before we got it) and shorted out and now I need an alternator. Oh well, it runs great now, abeit a little slow. Oh well, its only temporary.
