L88 engine code question....
OK, I was calculating the dates from the engines pictured on the recent "engine stamp picture" thread by Sixpack. I was getting a feel for how much time was usually between the assy stamp and the VIN date.
On pictures #15 and #16, I saw the engines with suffix "IT." I was checking the dates, and noticed the engine numbers were 1969. (VIN derivative started with "19".)
Thing is, when I look up IT suffix in the Black Book, it only lists IT for 1968 L88 motors. I see other suffixes for 1969 L88s, but no IT. Was there an IT L88 suffix in 1969?

The Black Book is certainly a handy quick reference for basic questions, but I would hardly consider it a definitive source of Corvette information... Especially when you're looking at some of the more esoteric Corvette data.
