The NCRS sells a "53-67 Corvette Specifications Guide", that has part numbers for blocks, heads, manifolds, carbs, alternators, horns, starters, wiper motors, coils, etc..... The book also tells, where many of the dates are, and how to read them, as well as a complete list of body build dates and LOF glass date codes.

Besides part numbers and dates, the books include all interior and exterior paint and trim codes, as well as the GM recommended combinations, info on stamp pads, engine suffix codes, rear end codes, trans codes, trim tag info, production numbers and the VIN for the last car built each month.

They sell for about $15 to members, and $20 to non-members, and are well worth buying!
