Documentation Numbers 1970 Corvette
Hi!
http://members.inode.at/587867/
At this link you can find the newest Update of a Documentation about a 1970 Corvette...lots of Numbers and Pictures...far away from finished but one step more.
maybe it helps someone to identify or search parts or so on.
Greetings from Austria

A very beautiful car and an excellent document showing details of some original parts.
If I can offer some information to clarify some details:
The '94' in the VIN is not for 'Stingray'. The 9 is for Corvette and 4 for eight cylinder engine. This was standard across all Chevrolet cars. The 4 after the S in the VIN is part of the six digit sequence number (serial number). It does not designate Corvette here or in the VIN derivatives.
The CGW engine code suffix on the stamp pad: C does not designate Chevrolet, the codes used by Chevrolet were almost any combination of three letters and do not necessarily start with C.
Carb part number: 70 does not represent decade produced. The '70' number also appears on carbs built in the 60s. The 4 confirms that it was produced between 1970-1975 as you state.
Transmission stamping. This is unusual, I don't think the information decodes in the manner you describe and this is certainly not the 1745th transmission built that year. Have a look here:

Did you find the VIN derivative near the pan?
'Brake proportional valve' is not the correct name. There is no proportioning function in the valve, this is a common point of confusion.

Wooow you have taken a very close look at my documentation. Thanks a lot for your input will modify the documentation!!!! The transmission was never out of the car so the stamps should be right. The VIN of the tranny you can see at the documentation too (VIN-section). Will try to find out more about the 1745
Thanks again!!!!

Have tried it a long time ago too: The result was a beer which was tasting like cough syrup and the color of positraction oil!!! After a lot of headache i decided thats better for me not to brew
Peter
PS: ...maybe i have forgotten the additive to the positraction oil

The Sunday before last, it was nearly 70 degrees here and sunny, perfect for a long cruise in the Corvette. But, I planned to make a pumpkin ale that took me over 4 hours to brew, so I lost the daylight. Oh well, at least I got the car out yesterday (had to relate to Corvettes somehow
).
