Default Help with option codes from tank sticker

I was able to get some parts of the tank sticker off my 1969 coupe today.
There still is some sticker parts glued to the tank and I hope to get the tank all the way out to view it real soon.
This is my first Corvette so I have a lot to learn.
I've been reading as much as possible here to learn as much as I can.

I made a previous post regarding some curious items that are on my car like it's factory 6500 redline tach, single 3/8ths fuel line.
Wide radiator support, possibly big block springs in the front, and the three holes drilled in the driver's wheel wheel for the amplifier on the TI ignition.
Here's my original post: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...ighlight=holes

In looking at the part of the tank sticker I got out I can see the car's partial VIN in the "Model" line so I think the sticker is correct for the car.
On the engine option line I can see what appears to be: 02L71AA
If this is correct what engine would it be?
The tank sticker has rust stains on it from the tank strap, it is still fairlly legible but the ink is faded. The order number looks like AVL308.
The trim looks like either 02411AD or 32411AD

There is a code next to the transister ignition line but it is difficult to read (it looks to start with 02), without cleaning the sticker more, I would assume it had the transister ignition since there is a code on the line.
I have the top right of the sticker out, the middle is still glued to the tank so in order to see it the tank will have to come out.

Anyone have any ideas what I have?

Thanks.

The L71 is the 427/435hp. Very desirable!!!
The 411 is Beige/Vinyl. (Oops, Can't read: Bright Blue it is!)
The option for TI was K66.
The middle numbers are the RPO code.

411 is the code for bright blue vinyl interior.

The TI would show up as AK66BA on your tank sticker.

http://www.cranescorvette.com/ Try these guys and see if you can score a copy of Rick Bizzoco's book 1969 Stingray Guidebook. Great reading here regardless of whether one owns a '69. The book is supposed to be out of print and pricey, but Crane's might still have a few copies.

There's also the Corvette "little black book" that has been around for a while, and shows all the codes for every year. Either that, or try the NCRS website:

Good luck. Sounds like you have a good project ahead of you...

Just finished dropping the tank.
The rest of the sticker isn't the best.
I'm trying to clean off the tank sticker as best as possible with out destroying it,.... any suggestions?

I think the transmission code is either 32M21AC or 02M21AC

What would this car have had originally for carburation?

I'll try to post some pictures later.

Thanks.

The prefix digits are "02 and the letters "AA are a suffix to the RPO codes known as ECL codes.

So all the typewritten printing should start out as 02---AA, AC, AB etc. The dashes would be like L71 for engine, M21 for close ratio manual transmission, etc.

Thanks for the info.

Is the L71 a single 4 barrel car or tri-power?
