I decided to get the car roadworthy this summer, and drive it just the way it was in 1985 when it was last driven.
I cleaned the garage to host a Northstar Chevelle Club "work meeting" to have some help and motivation to try firing up the L78... honestly, I spent as much time cleaning as it would have taken me to just do it myself, but it was a good feeling to get this done, and made for a fun day with a bunch of great people tinkering on a cool old project. Unfortunately, there were issues with the #1 cylinder. There was a stuck exhaust valve, so we had to dig deeper. Any hope of firing it up was gone when this HUGE crack in the #1 cylinder wall was found. |
