Component I.D #s
Thanks again to all that have responded to my asking for help on production#s. I was looking over an ad that was telling me that this particular car had certain #s stamped on them to identify/verify that they belong on a particular car.- example transmission code (1458762-not the real #) and said it was correct code for 1969 corvette. Where do thes guys come up with that info at?? Is there a book or web site that has this?? The engine code is readily available/easy but not the others like tranny,rear,cyl heads,etc. any help out there?? Thanks!!

You'd be better off getting "Corvette By The Numbers", as it deals only with Corvette specifics; written by the same author (Alan Colvin) as the other Chevy "By The Numbers" books. All the resto parts houses have it.
The only components on the car that carry a derivative of the original car's serial number are the engine, transmission, and frame. To decode all the casting numbers/casting dates AND the many different dating schemes used on all the other parts in the car, you also need the NCRS Technical Information & Judging Guide for your year Corvette, available from the NCRS on-line store ( www.ncrs.org ).
