Vette(s): 76 Stingray, 37000 miles L-48 350 Automatic Showroom condition Matching numbers completely stock as it came out of the factory Some engine upgrades!

Thanks to all for making me feel at home

The 76 is running..... I had someone else build and install the motor so they will be responsible for it. Also I am disabled and just can’t do everything I use to. I have had 3 back surgeries and I also have RA. At this point I’m losing the use of my legs for walking.

My son drove it home from the shop and looks like we have a problem. #6 is not firing.  With limited standing time I determined that we have spark to the plug, but when we pull the plug wire off it makes no difference. So after a brake for my back we will pull the plugs and do a compression check. At that point I call the shop and have them pick it up with a flatbed, like I said there RESPONSABLE

Confused

Thats the way to do it, Don. Let someone reliable do the major stuff and stand behind it. Did you get that photo above professionally done? It looks really cool!

I did the photo. I fool around with a camera at times. I also play Guitar and have a music studio in one of the spair bedrooms of my house. My other hobby is shooting. I shot semi pro combat hand gun for 5 or 6 years, my RA did that in... couldnt hold on to the 45 through 300 rounds a night. So now I just plink.  I have built a couple of custom choppers and 2 other Vett's. I'll try to post some pictures as I figure it out.
