Default Axle House code!!!

Hi

On the Axle House on my C1 1959 are stamped these nr. A129 and 3725899 and GM.

car #102641 was produced on the last day of dec.58.so your car had to be before that.your rear end should have a 8 as last diget for 1958 production.from corvette black book .on the other side or rear end you will find a date ,code stamped into housing if it starts with a AE it was a automatic car a AH was a manual transmission.also followed with numbers witch will tell date.
