Folks,
As many of you are aware, have been restoring my 1963 Z06 I lovingly call "LADY". Well, I visited Tony's Corvette this morning and turned a few wrenches and basically was getting in the way. Well, I had to leave and do some other things. Tony just called and said LADY WAS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!
He said they had her running at about 2000 RPM on the tach and had been for about 20 minutes. He said the temp gauge was sitting at about 140 degrees, oil pressure at about 70 psi, battery was still charging - ALL GOOD SIGNS!
He said there were no visible leaks anyplace on the motor. They had the car in the air and he said there was no visible leaks anywhere, so far. He said there was one weep from the upper radiator hose - clamp was tight, so he wasn't sure if it was a definite problem yet or not. He thought once the hose "seated" that weep would hopefully stop. We will see.
