Well I've been slowly working away on the corvette spending about an hour a night. My biggest problem right now is that the oil dipstick is stuck inside the block and requires removal for the passenger side header install. I have no choice but to drop the oil pan and hammer it out but I'm not going to start that till the new gasket comes in which I'm ordering tonight along with a new dipstick but that may require a stop at the stealership.
Today I installed the O2 sensor with shortened harness and routed the new Taylor 8mm spark plug wires on the driver side. I'm not a fan of the wire lengths and apparently they are supposed to be custom tailored to my engine. Next time I'll probably go with over the top header wires and hopefully they just copy OEM lengths.
