Barry,

Don't forget you have to get your flotation and propeller kit installed for the trip to Tennessee in June....

Flotation ? isn't she already made out of fiberglass, so that should be no problem. And the propeller is already there, ok , in the front , but that must work for such a short trip. I tought there where built for that. Only sea water isn't so good for the chassis.... and ignition !  

Sorry to keep you waiting another day... had my spark cables fixed at the shop but once home .. family... it will be for today , i hope. Ofcourse i can't neglet my granddaughter for my C3...

oeps, clicked to soon on the Post Reply ... Yes, Ken , the problem is gone and she's reving back under load.Must still do some fine tuning as she's not full sharp ( will reinstall former primary jetting 66 instead of now 69 )  and some tryals with static advance. But the main problem is HISTORY !!!! 
I really can't see anything wrong on the distributorcap and/or rotor  but there's the problem ! Those parts are from '99 and look still new... after only 3000 miles ! but you can be right with that high kilovoltage RACING COIL installed...  all secondary ignition parts where  " electrocuted ".
Thanx Ken for you enthousiasme all the way and i'm glad that as a hobby-mechanic amateur the problem wasn't that obvious .... so should i be ?

Sunday 1st Belgium Corvette meeting !!! i'll have something to tell...

Was this all because of bad or cheap sparkplug wires?

Al, next project are the high performance exhausts (LT1 and BB ) with  2 way valves to choose in the car between them and the side pipes.... Have already the exhausts , will make myself the valves...
All that because we find those side pipe a bit "noisy" for a cruise ...
