Working on the shifter linkage....Muncie 4 speed 1972 Corvette

Well so far I have found cotter pins where they don't belong....clevis pins in backwards....The shifter levers are on backwards and the reverse lever is not the correct one.

Tool pouch for the Vette....

Bought this off eBay for around 20 shipped.....Quality is very good and it holds just about everything I think I could need broke down on the side of the road.

Rear end oil....

I'm fixing to change the oil in my muncie and rear end...This is a 72. I'm going with Sta-Lube 85W90 GL-4 in the muncie. I'm pretty sure the rear end is still stock with around 100,000 miles. I am having no issues with it just need to replace the oil because I have no idea when it was changed last. Bought the car this past May.

Should I stick with GM or is there a better option...?
Are the GM part numbers listed below correct....?

GM gear oil part#89021671
GM posi additive part#88900330

The car will see under 2000 miles a year and not driven hard.

If I could just keep folks this far away from the Vette....

They would think that even the paint was badass.....

Need some of these clips....

For my shifter....

Just call me Bubba...

It took one hydraulic fitting from Tractor Supply and 2 from eBay but I gotter done. The heater hose now has a cutoff valve. I even had to grind about 1/4" off the bottom of the valve to clear the era on the head.

Distributor...

Points or not....?

Took the fuel filter out today....

It was past filthy...It's a wonder it even ran at all....Lots of rust....I think the guy told me he had a new tank put it or atleast cleaned out....Hard to believe they wouldn't have also changed the filter but it looked like it hasn't been changed in years. Gasket was toast as well.

Maiden voyage and came home on a rollback.....?

Well it wasn't really it's first trip....I drove it about 25 miles right after I bought it....Then 75 miles home the next day....No problems.

The next 4 or 5 trips were only 5 or 6 mile test drives....No problems.

Finally got it ready for me and the lady to take it out for a nice drive....No problems on the way to the restaurant...15 miles or so. Fired right up for the return trip back home but about half way home it went dead as I pushed in the clutch at a red light.....Would not start back up....I may have patted the gas and flooded it but after taking the breather cover off it didn't smell like it was flooded.....Called for a wrecker and tried several times the next 20 min to crank it and no luck....Wrecker driver did a fantastic job loading and unloading it....After he dropped it in the driveway I got in it and held the pedal to the floor (wife's advice--damn I got a good one) it fired up....Lot's of what they said looked like black smoke and it was still smoking black a little when I backed it into the garage.

New temp gauge read 190 for the whole drive....At the red light when it wouldn't start it read 200. It has gas and I just changed the oil yesterday. I have not done any carb work including changing the fuel filter.

I must have had 10 different folks ask if they could help...I live in a good town.

It looked nice before we took off....It had its first bath today.
