Vette(s): Coupe 74 - 454 Drive it like you stole it!
I don't know about NJ, but in my region (Tampa), it's hard to find over 93.  I have even seen a lot of stations not going higher than 91.  Where do you get 94 ?
 
I can't hardly use my creeper; in fact, I barely fit just sliding under unless I use a stand on each side.  I use carton boards; it collects the spills and it slides real easy.
 
Good luck with your project.  I will do the same as soon as I swap my townhouse for a real one WITH a double garage.  I'm targetting April/May.

74-454.......In NJ Sunoco Ulimate is 94 Octane.

After reading the forums,,,,,,It's good to see that a lot of us (i.e. VetterBob) are involved in Winter projects.

Working on these cars is like opening Pandora's box at times.

Happy Holidays........Anthony

Anthony, once you're all done, you should be very pleased with the results. Especially now you won't have to put up with Mustang Sally's insensitive remarks about your fogger machine .

 I've already done everything you're doing except for the engine. I'm planning to replace the timing chain and possibly do a cam/manifold/carb job in March. I haven't made up my mind yet. Hey, I just want to spend more time driving it during our limited season, than be be fixing it.
