Hey yall, im new to the forum. My neghbor passed away 2 years ago and left a 61 vette in his garage. I played in this car since i was born, its sat in his garage for 21 years. Beautiful car, removeable hardtop, white with red interior. I asked his widow a couple of days ago if she would like me to see if i can get it running again. Now that i have permission, i looked at the engine in depth today. Its got a edlebrock intake manifold, headers, a really old upgraded blaster coil, hurst shifter on the floor. I belive it is carburated as well. It hasnt been run since 1986 i belive. Im a dodge man my self, and dont know too much about chevys. Can anyone give me some information on this year vette or point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
