    Hi Randy I had a Florida vette also. I think I can help. The fuel pump the top rots out on all the Florida cars. Ruins the fuel pump. Also I found out the hard way. There’s two different fuel pumps one high-pressure one low pressure. The fuel rail has a pressure regulator that you probably will have to replace also. Also, all of the electronic components bake under the hood in Florida. I had to replace almost everything to get it running right. I did finally get everything running beautiful. A long expensive proposition. Good luck, John Roy.

    Randy hadn't had electric power for six days and that was two days ago. Indiana and Oklahoma both had devastating storms. He said there would be reruns until he was able to produce new videos. This was a look back at the past. They rolled a slug off the car hauler and Randy and Nick were working on getting it running as soon as it was on the ground. Myself, I'll take interesting old video reruns over video silence.

    First off, LEAF BLOW, SHOP VAC AND POWER WASH THE ENTIRE CAR INSIDE AND OUT! Is the fuel system pressurized? The injectors have to be shot! Fill the fuel rails with 100% injector cleaner, turn it over and then let it sit for two days. Put a couple of quarts of lacquer thinner in the gas. Cleaning is the name of the game. This project is what a lot of us could afford so do it. We don't have access to a lot of this auction stuff so we can't relate.
