Hi Mark, (or is it Marke)
Is that a white car? If so, I think the last owner, if you bought it locally, had the same problem. There are two carb guys locally, Gerard at Allan Ross in Arizona Rd Charmhaven and the guy at Central Coast Carburettors in Gosford.
Have you still got the batmobile? If so, can you post a photo up on this thread. Although not everyone's cup of tea, it's an awesome motor car, I'm sure others would like to see it. If you can't post photos, email me one or two at rdwalker@tpg.com.au and I'll post them for you.

Had a look at some yankee forums about the '80's Corvette. Here's a couple of quotes.

"The 1980 was offered with 3 option engines, the LG4 - 305 california, L48 - 350 and the L82 - 350 being the highest horsepower."

"The Computers started to creep in to the mix in '81 and '82"

"'80 had HEI ignition, Q-jet carb similar to previous years"

Here's a link to more info about the '80 'Vette.

Hi Mark,Just looking through my Corvette little black book and it seems the 1980 California only 305 had stainless steel exhaust headers with an oxygen sensor and Chevs new"computer command control " ignition that was used on all Corvettes the next year and as your check engine light is coming on you may have a ignition problem if so it may be easier to just revert back to a HEI dizzy from previous years ,From what I have read that seems to be the common fix as this happens quite often
