alternator is bad........ my best guess.... or your battery is surface charging and cant take a load....... go to an autoparts store like advance or autozone n have them check the charging system and battery.

They are compatible. the only problem you may have is the shifter. If the corvette does not have overdrive on the shifter you won't be able to get the car in first gear.
