Sounds like fun to me. Interested to see what you put together. I'd love to have a Vette in those years, they make killer hot rods to me.

I reccomend the op looking into running a fuel supply setup that includes a return line to combat fuel perculation. I run a fuel system like that using 93 swill and have no problems- using a Robbmc 1100 mechanical pump, aprox 650 horse poncho.

Had BG stuff at the dealer where I was wrenching. The writers would get spiff money put on their cards for what they'd sell. Had a car that needed front-rear brakes, got sold a brake flush instead. All kinds of bs went on.

If that passes do a coil output test to see how healthy- long a spark .
Start with the basics .

Do you recall what a typical amount is?

I got it from McMaster Carr I believe. It's mainly a oil level- temp sight glass for a hydraulic tank for various types of machines. So you would rather crawl under your car instead of using a dipstick? Tom Not a big deal to get on my hands and knees and peek thru the rear of the front tire. Also I...

I put one of these on as I didn't want a dipstick but needed to monitor the level.

They make insulated pliers, it's a quick way to find a weak dead hole. You can also use a test light,ground the clamp lead- lube the probe with dielectric grease and go between the boot and plug wire on the distributor end of the wires. Just trying to help.
