I did call the local vette guru and he said just to diagnose it would be 200.00 an hour. and he said maybe five or six hours. not including parts. It has been very much a pain so far granted I payed very little for this car and I new it would have a few problems but really how does someone put the eprom in upside down if it's in the carrier it right it will only go in one way. granted that may be the reason I got it so cheaply. so lose lose or win win. LOL.I am looking forward to really getting started on resto modding this thing have some great ideas. She is a daily driver so it will be slow going but I am taking lots of pic's and soon I will start posting them with what I'm doing that is if everyone seems interested.  Engine wise she is now bulletbroof now would trust it to make it to alaska and back. Plan on doing something really cool with the interior I think you will all like I hope.

send some pics , i think all of us would enjoy them.
