I can't remember, what year did you get as a replacement muscle?

This has nothing to do with nothing but it's kind of a funny story......in 1978 I bought a brand new L48 automatic Corvette....beautiful....but a dog & a piece of $hit.....for about 3 years I marveled how well the cooling system worked ....but in winter I would freeze my *** off until I finally realized that the thermostat had been stuck in the open position since brand new!!
