Eric. Was the car originally Dark Red Metallic? What color are you going to leave it as? Your cleaning is looking pretty good to me!

The archaeological digs are the most fun part of the "just purchased" experience.

I agree 100%. Like when I found the missing power key under the drivers seat! Car was DRM, painted Bright red and then the multi layered black/dark metallic blue. Ultimately I think it should go back to DRM. I am waiting to learn more about what Campbell-Ewald did with the car. Probably DRM next year... Car needs to be stripped though. Lots of paint on it now.

I know a good shop in IN that can do the re-paint.

I just listed my Unconverted Challenge Car on ebay. If it sells, I'll be on the prowl for a ZR1 before the BG Gathering in May.

Not sure how it would look in Polo White.

When Brett got finished it would look like the top car. Anything later than 55 gets attacked by the c1 car dogs if it comes into his shop.

All of the '86- newer cars would have come with an 8k tach from the factory.
We never figured out how this interface worked on the '86, so we went around it.

Fore those who do not know ED here is an intrduction. He has been around for a long time. He is the discoveror of the graveyard.

What I found was there is a oil pressure sensor on input on the 89 and earlier cars. If you do not get oil pressure, you get no fuel pressure and the injectors do not fire. In the 90 and later it looks for a tach signal from the dis module. Took me 2 years to finally figure this out. I ran a wire to the oil pressure sensor and it worked.
