Probably not, but you should install a fully charged battery first. Trying to start a car with a minimally charged battery can fire off all kinds of warning indicators that could be false. Also run a search in the C4 Tech forums at the Corvette Action Center: http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/forums/1997-2004-corvettes/

Hey all. I have a 1975 Corvette C3. I just did something stupid. I pulled my alternator to have it checked; however I did not disconnect the battery. As I disconnected the battery cable from alternator, it arc'ed badly. After having the alternator checked, upon reinstalling it, I have no power at all. I'm trying to determine which fuse, or relay, or whatever I have blown. Any help is appreciated. I do not have a fuse box layout. Thanks Apostle Smith 2 Answers
