New carpet and seats went in today. Makes the rest of the interior look like crap. Did a light polish and wax on it. Good enough for what it is for.

Eileens 79 Corvette resurrection. It survived 1450miles on Power Tour

Ha! save a lot of crawling around!
The front bumper work looks really good to me.
The first strip run I tried some RPM at launch and for some reason it loaded up. Weird considering the secondaries are not hooked up. Need to figure that out. The second run in the video it ran a 9.76 in the 1/8th mile. Kept breaking the tires loose on the time attack run.
They called it a "time attack". 5 corners on the road course.
Picture from yesterday.
Your brother was there too?
Yep. The kids love that car. Most asked if it was a Hot wheels car.
Damn good looking car.

Should have had the Sniper EFI by now. Checked with Summit. "There was an issue with the address you listed". It is the same one they ship to monthly. Canceled the order and went directly to Holley and ordered one.
Monday now. And the 1 week old fuel pump just gave up. This is the second one now that I have been driving it.

Summit has yet to screw up an order for me, but Jegs made a habit of it. Looking forward to the EFI install.

This should be fairly simple considering the factory fuel feed and return lines are already in and the correct size.
Presents today.
Eileen ordered t-top covers for in the car. Because it rains every afternoon in the summer.

Lookin forward to see how your sniper Efi sets up compared to my Fitech. I'm ready to go back to a carb...
I've done both a few times. On completely different types of vehicles. I call them comparable to each other. But I have read about issues with the newer FI Tech stuff. And Holley has been doing fuel control for decades.

Which show? They have had a couple. The picture with my brothers car amd the videos were at the muscle show.
Been daily driving the Corvette. Working the bugs out because Eileen gets home tonight. Finally ran a full tank of gas through it with a GPS odometer. 12.6 mpg. Mostly city heavy footed driving. About 60 miles of freeway at 75 mph. Twice what I thought it would get.
