[QUOTE="nascar03, post: 250551, member: 43"] [USER=7472]@wgrr[/USER] Welcome to the forum and Welcome to Corvetting.. We have been waiting for you to arrive. Your issues are pretty common for a 40+ year old car. Sad to hear the dealer has shut you out. Carb issues… probably would have needed building anytime soon anyway. Gauge issues …. I usually suspect the sending units first.. they are cheap to replace. You could temporarily run a parallel oil pressure gauge off the port near the distributor to see if it coincides with the readout on your stock electrical unit. Maybe a buddy or yourself has an extra gauge around. Same with your temp unit. There is probably another water port near the water neck in the intake manifold. Again, another gauge/sender may be required/borrowed/acquired.. I have a ZZ4 motor in my ‘75 coupe. It usually pins the oil pressure gauge except at idle. YOUR clock works? ( same reaction as #gdh ). Do you have a Voltage gauge or an ammeter in your car. My ‘75 has an ammeter. The best investment is a proper set on GM shop manuals. You can find these used for not too much money. The next thing is an assembly manual to have when working on your car. Purchase from some of the regular Corvette parts suppliers, Corvette Central, etc. We need pics.. not necessarily to help with your gauge issues, but we just like them.
