84 Corvette barn find

[torinodan]

Well, seems I'm getting myself a 84 vette. Hadn't been driven in years, probably more like 9 years, and it's covered in dust. It's dark bronze metalic but you can't tell it. All parts are there and original no performance parts ever added. There is a trailer hitch on it though.... Two owners.
I don't know yet what works and what doesn't, I'm guessing the fuel pump will be bad first besides the battery then the instruments won't light up. Lucky me, anyone have any old beat up left over early C4 parts laying around for "Corvette cheap" so I can get it back on the road?

Any ideas on what to check first from the Chevy fans?

I'll post picks when I get this thing washed up. The windows were left down and cats have been living in it too.

No, this one has the Cross fire injection TBI, or Cease fire injection as it's been called. A carb would be nice.

Cool find I had an 87 , always had a soft spot for the Corvette.

84 had cross fire injection. Empty gas tank before trying to crank it. Put some Sea Foam in with gas also.

Do they have a drain in the Corvette fuel tanks?

nope, no drains, tank has to come out to completely drain it. That involves dropping the rear suspension. Wait til you have to change the tail lights .. LOL

No, you will have to disconnect fuel line and allow it to drain. Hopefully fuel pump is still good. They have a tendency
to corrode with the great ethanol gas.
