It's not a stingray, pump the gas pedal then turn it over . Pumping the pedal while you are turning it over only floods the engine. You'll find it starts much faster the way I described. Nice looking car!
Just kick the pedal once to close the butterfly.
Even for Stingray, depress peddle, let it out slowly, twice, for cold starts.
😂 Why do people always feel the need to point out its not a Stingray?
Last year for stingrays was 1976. My son has a 1980 Corvette.... Very beautiful, but it is not a stingray.
@@RobsGarageKC ... self-gratification no one else cares about
The car sounds good. Good to see someone else that doesn’t go to the floor immediately with a cold engine. I see that a lot on u tube from guys letting us “hear” the exhaust. Like your car.
😂
The side pipes sound amazing but what I like the most is the deep burgundy colour of your example! Amazing! 💗🤟
It is a beautiful Color
Burgundy is maroon this is brown.
@@yukonjack. ... thru your eyes
That paint is beautiful
A beauty you’ve got there!
Nice car Man! Looks very solid. I have also 1980 C3 Corvette 💪💪💪😃
Regards from Poland
You gotta love the Disco Vettes.
Beautiful Vette! Take great care of the American 🇺🇸 icon.
Thank you brotha! God bless!
Maybe don’t start a car in the garage with the garage door down? Probably 175 HP at the crank, but no smoke, but the paint looks reall solid. Great color.
Also, sidepipes look good, but take away some HP.
I know it not the fastest car but sounds beautiful and looks beautiful as well
Thanks you!
Wow.... Sounds like music... 👍👌👏👏
Those are made by Patriot Exhaust. I just bought the 65" lakes style for my '76 L-48 ... hoping it sounds killer but not loud. Had Patriot pipes 35yrs ago...loved them.
You can fix the chip yourself for less than $100 if you know what you are doing. Plenty of Fiberglass experts on CZcams. I love the Dark Claret red paint with matching interior. That's my favorite color combo for 1980.
Sounds great
Beautiful car!
If you've ever taken a ride in a Corvette with side pipes then you know how much heat they make. Especially in the summer.
Still, a fun ride for cruising. 👍
Nice car. Å video of you driving it, would be cool!
That chip is from the door hinge flange needs to be ground back a little. You can also fix the chip yourself. Labor of love my friend. Enjoy that beauty.
That’s awesome.
That’s what’s up C3s rule my dude
The color is to die for she's mint mate
Thank you!!!
My dream car
Great video.
I want a corvette too.
Pump the gas 3 times then start it. People need to learn how to start carb engines
I have an 80 also i normally pump the gas twice turn it over for 3 seconds and it starts up quick on second attempt.
The long crank is not because it's a carb, or because he pushed the gas too much. It's because there was no gas due to either a leak in the Quadrajet carb fuel bowl, or it's letting air in the fuel line allowing fuel to drain back to the tank. Try a check valve on the fuel line. if the bowl is full of fuel, one pump should start it and engage the choke. Very common Quadrajet issue on C3 Corvettes.
Nice car , sounds really good. I'm curious about the brand of side pipes myself. Thanks man
I’m gonna get you a link. Hold up and lemme find it

@@Roscosgarage thanks
Did you have to buy the headers as well? Or you used the OEM
A can of fiberglass bondo at Walmart costs $7 to $13, and touch up paint online costs about $40. The rest of the $1000 is pure profit.
Sweet car in great condition! I’m jealous!
I’m looking for 1973 or older Stingray.
They don’t have catalytic converters!
With the side pipes they sound awesome!
... dont let that hold u back if u find something u like from 69 to 82 - just delete em out of the exhaust sytem
That's the loudest 180hp I've ever heard.
lol
The straight-piped raised the power.
That's because it's detuned.
The tach on my 82 seems to randomly come on. I think a trace on the circuit board is going bad and needs to heat up to connect.
Is it L82 engine California emissions with smog pump, please...?
That chip is a DIY thing easy.
What type of pipes are they?
I just bought an L82 80 same color.
Pump it 2 or 3 times, crack it too 1/8 throttle, turn key. Keep it running with your foot for a min. Every carburetor car I’ve ever driven…including the ones where the choke is either not there(racecar, or street car with a Holly), or removed, or it actually kinda works(rare).
Not this one almost doesn't have a fire wall smoke hot and carbon emissions
Today’s gas evaporates quickly, that’s why the carb is dry after about a week, which requires turning the engine over a few times to get fuel to the fuel bowl to feed the accelerator pump....
Where did you get your side pipes? I have a 1980 as well and I've been looking for affordable pipes.
I paid like 270 for the pipes. I got them online. Let me see if I can find the order
@@Roscosgarage please let us know what else was needed to mount the pipes and where you got them from want to do that to mine as well
With that kick ass 85 mph speedometer that must be one really tough car! Ha!
now is that $1000 with paint or without because with paint ur talkin they gotta blend with the other 2-3 panels around it
What kind of rims?
Where did you get those chrome slotted sidepipes from? I tried finding an exact pair. And so sorry but 76 was the last year of the stingray!
Patriot H1060 60in Side Exhaust
I now know that it’s not a stingray. I filmed this vid when I first got the car
@@Roscosgarage thanks for the information!
... what r u sorry about ?
@@nemesisxrox6773 because he thought he had a stingray!
How much clearance did you lose if any when you went to side pipes?
a lot. Im probably 1.5 inches off the ground. I prob lost 4 inches
Sounds like you swapped a Harley Davidson engine in it sounds pretty cool
What’s with the battery light ? Mine has that too
Battery light indicates low air pressure wich means low power on the high octane side burner when tires heat up lost tread
Did you weld the pipes to the car body?
No bolt on with anti rust butyl
Video doesn’t do side pipes justice . If you loosen that breather cap nut a little and pour about a table spoon or so of gasoline in that little cone it should fire right off
I’ve got a 79 that needs a bit of paint.
How much?
My goodness… you should never crank it for that long. It’ll kill the ICU. That happened to me with a motorcycle I was working on.
Tach is fuched up just like mine is
@Jeff Spicolli . Possibly may have even got a little blinker fluid sprayed on it
Is that an easy fix ?
@@alignator3 have no idea . Must be a recurring problem . I don’t dog mine so I don’t need it fixed . Probably something simple as a loose wire .
1000 dollars is cheap if they do it right. That lil blemishes location makes it to where the painter also has to blend on the driver's front fender and blend out the clear so pretty much painting and clear coating 2 panels plus bodywork. What a great price. Hope it turns out good
SIDE PIPES!!
Try talking to a aircraft mechanic maybe he can set you up with a pre oil system and an electrical fuel pump and also a fuel mixture control.
True but wha5 kind of oil your using gtx havolin synthetic light or heavy duty now gas which 5ype of gas
Take pipes off put back on stock exhaust and put cold air intake back on and it will run a lot better
Last year for stingrays was 1976.
Beautiful car! Sell it toe please 🙏 lol
I injured myself thinking about getting into the car...
Not a stingray. 76 was last year for stingrays on the c3
they are all sting rays. they changed the badge on the front fenders to the flags. that's it...
@@josephcollins3276 Funny, these same haters never mention the origins, Sting Ray on the C2.
You shouldn't have to be "pumping" the pedal like that to get it to start. It sounds like your fuel bowl is near empty. If the fuel bowl was filled, a simple depress of the pedal should be enough to start it.
There's two things that could be going on here (It sounds like the first one):
1.) The well plugs in your carb are leaking. So after the last run of the engine it was hot, the engine cools down and the plugs that fill these casting holes are allowing gas to seep through into the manifold on the cool down process. Pretty much the only way to verify this is to take the airhorn off the cab after an extended period of the engine being off and physically look in the fuel bowl.
2.) Incorrect preload amount on your lifters. Here's two videos to get you started if it turns out to be that:
czcams.com/video/5EGlb_VpTAw/video.html
czcams.com/video/rKUkPS9_aL8/video.html
I actually think the hard time starting is because of what I was doing in the vid. I started pumping the pedal 3 times then turn the key. It usually starts right up. I think I was actually flooding the engine and doing it wrong lol. Learn something new everyday.
I didn’t grow up with these cars so it’s all new to me haha. So simple things might take me a second to figure out
@@Roscosgarage Neither did I. Grab a carburetor rebuild sheet and take a look at it's operation. Once you understand how it works you'll understand if you're flooding it or the fuel bowl is actually empty (would happen pretty much every couple of days it's started vs semi consistent flooding, pump twice, three times, then back to two pumps, etc).
Have a look at this video, it's pure gold: czcams.com/video/_BTEdWt2V3s/video.html

@@pattygq this was a great video. I have starting problems with all my classics
sadly he passed away in a closed garage revving and engine.
why not buy a replacement door are they that expensive?
Because replacement doors was just as expensive if you could afford it
@@jamesglover7472 couldve bought a shitty parts car with good doors on it ive seen those go for really cheap
Right right
Are you selling this car?
not at the moment but I wouldn't be opposed to offers
Ooo, noise
I could fix that chip on door for less than $60 over a course or a week under my carport. Would hardly be noticeable.
You flooding the engine
If I won the lottery this is the first car I'd buy.
Thousand? Nope...resin.
Fix your carb I have never had to pump a Chevy that much with a good carb kit
Yeah I plan on doing that as soon as it warms up. That carb is trash. It ideals so high.
I'd rather put this motor in a Cadillac 80
Dude please....Open the garage doors....I was literally choking for you wondering if you ever were gonna allow some fresh air in there....4 minutes is way too long to be in an enclosed
area with a car like this.
I had a door open on the other side of the garage not in view
old as me.
that dont look like a chip it looks like a bullet hole to me.
$1000 to fix a fiberglass chip. you can do it yourself for $50
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party and Greta FFF global inc. gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing petrol stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any more....:-((
I’m not sure how much I would believe that. Politicians can talk all they want But I don’t understand where we are getting all the electricity to power these vehicles. Electricity comes at a cost and we have to Farm it. I wouldn’t write off Gasoline vehicles just yet. We are a long ways out
And that’s if they ever become main stream
it's possible to convert gas cars to ethanol, which burns clean and is easier to make sustainably. I don't think combustion cars will go away, but I do think gasoline's days are numbered.
@@lettuce7378 Sadly in Germany Mrs. Bärbock hates combustion engines and wont allow the tax reduction for alcohol powered engines they will be taxed with high climate fines too
@@Schlipperschlopper that's so dumb alcohol literally only has water as exhaust
Dude, that's not straight piped at all, you have baffles. I've got the OBS stainless sidepipes on my '77 that are the 4 tubes that come out behind the tire and go into the side pipe. Without baffles it'll rattle your skull
Can’t fix stupid garage door closed car running
Vent and front door on/open
Not a hater but no it’s not sounding good
Definitely doing it wrong
Why you pumpin the gas pedal like a Catholic priest before Mass?
