Hello to everyone - I has been sometime since I last was on here - was getting depressed hearing about C3's and not having one!

Very nice! I was wondering when you would find something! Good luck with it!

Good to have you on board with a car of your own.  Good looking car

Take your new toy to a park and take some calendar pictures for next your it is to late for the 2012 addition but never to late to get ready for the 2013.  Pictures cannot have people but sure would be great to have a good looking car with a really different theme in it.    The times I was in Australia and went to a park they tossed me a koala and told me to give it to someone else when I was tired of it.  Had a big red walk or hop up to the car in a park.  Great pictures. 

Bondi beach would make a good background but??  But people are not allowed in the pictures.

Congratulations on your new toy again.

Great choice.

Many happy years of enjoyment for you.

Now drive it like you stole it.

Ok I'll start: 

What is a M21?   I'm just not up on the 70s terms.    I hope you got a sweeter deal than the first
one.  Paperwork and the like.....

All the best from Tucson.

G'day ebo - nice to hear from you! Was wondering how long it would take to see you pop up! 

Very nice!! Congrats and welcome!!!  

Very nice Vette, and to find it so close to home.  I got mine from 2500 miles away.  Took forever to get it shipped here.

Waz, I knew it had a great story behind it!

Looking good, Waz.   Gotta love the 74's.  Was really great that you didn't have to go too far to find her.  Congratulations!!!

Hmm, a Silver '74 with an L82 and an M21?  You know, for some reason, that just sounds like a great car to me!!

______________

I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

Sounds like a real nice ride. As for your questions on air cleaner and carb, The cowl induction air cleaner is a good one already. You can gain a little bit of performance if you remove the air door inside the hood. That will let cooler air enter the air filter all the time instead of just when your foot is on the throttle. The switch that opens it is located on the back side of the accelerator pedal and only opens when it is at full throttle.

Hi Brian - thanks for your info. What you have suggested is a great start for what I need and want at the moment. Down the track I will eventually get the engine re built and toughen it up in the process. But tht will be along way off and for now your suggestions are excatly what I am looking for. I'll defiantly do what you said and see how it goes! Oh - when you say the distributer 'recurved' does that mean getting the point redone for improved timing etc? Cheers

Recurving the distributor means that they/you adjust the amount of travel that the advance will move. The stock distributor will move about 14degrees. So if you start at 12degrees then full advanced will be about 26degrees. Allowing it to travel another 8-10degrees will let it advance to about 34-36degrees. That is where the performance folks say is best for power. The other thing that is done is changing the springs and weights in the distributor which controls the curve/timing of when all this happens. This process is best done on a distributer machine but can be done without that but takes more time.
