For context, my uncle had bought a C3 Corvette and planned on fixing it up and giving it to me as a high school graduation gift. In November of 2025, he unexpectedly passed away in a workplace accident.

I'm just seeking some advice from people who know more about this car. Like what parts to buy, what parts to avoid, where to buy the parts, and also what would be the best carb to put onto the Corvette.

I want to keep it as close to original as possible. I don't know too much about it currently. All I know is that it is a 1979 Corvette L-82. A quick search tells me that it was a performance package from back in the day. Thank you very much to anyone who can give me any advice.
