I have a 73 L82 and have had two valve springs break. I would recommend that you replace all the valve springs with the Chevy small block heavy duty ones just for insurance. It's not that hard although you will need an air compressor and valve spring compressor. Enjoy the car.

I hate when that happens, always had a friends shop to the valve spring job. Used to break rockers left and right ,until I got the roller rockers.

Good LORD, what a gorgeous car you have there! Personally, I think you made the right decision in restoring it to stock.... the value of that baby can only go one way... UP! She's gorgeous. I'd love to see more pictures, if you can? [8D]

Use the "Click here to upload!" at the lower left corner. Then you just browse to the pic and viola, you're done.

my grandpa kept the car in tip top shape oil changes, spark plugs, brakes everything, it has a rebuilt carb and all the work was done by a shope that specializes in older corvettes. the roters and calipers were all recently replaced, new belts 6 months ago. the car realy is in great shape. here are a few pics

I played with your previous post to bring up this pic.
Highlight and right click onthe htpp from photobucket, click "copy".
Now go to where you want to post, click on the mountain scene icon in the upper right. A window will open in the upper left of your screen.Left click there, and right click on "paste". The pic will now show in your post.

PS:
I removed the [img]-[/img] in your previous post, now someone just has to click on it to see the pic.

Great lookin' Vette ! [sm=icon_rock.gif]

You are going to have so much fun with that car, words can't describe. It looks so clean from the pictures I saw, that's unusual to find one so darned clean! You've got a real gem there, my friend....
