The block has the right suffix for a 350/300 automatic transmission, but according to the Corvette Black Book, the block casting number is wrong...the 010 casting is for '70 Corvtetes and later. That doesn't mean it's absolutely the wrong casting, since if your car is a late '69 it could be correct and original. '69 was a long production run...up until the end of '69 so it's possible. The chance exists it could be a different block and a restamped VIN, but the suffix is correct along with the VIN.
The 3927186 head is correct...are you sure you didn't transpose the numbers on the other head? 816 is definitely incorrect.
The distributor is not correct according to my information.
A Quadrajet for your car should have the numbers 7029202 for an automatic so you may not have read the first two digits or they're worn.
I don't have the information to tell me if your intake is correct, but it sounds like most of the parts are. The casting number of the engine block may be correct for your car...just because it says something different in a book doesn't necessarily make it wrong.
