Welcome to the Forum, but you should post this in the C4 section. C4's are 83-96; C5's are 97-??, depending on when the C6 is released.

Head on over to the C3 section. You will find hundreds of owners of similar vettes over there. Go to the "Select Theme" pull down menu at the top right of the page and look for C3.

Welcome to the forum. The C# is the generation of the car. You have a C3.

C1- '53-'62
C2- '63-'67
C3- '68-'82
C4- '84-'96 (there was no 83 corvette)
C5- '97-current

I see you made it to the C3 section. I was in the same situation as you about a year ago and have learned alot here. This is the best place you could have ever found as a new vette owner. As far as recommending parts suppliers, that is going to be something you will have to decide on yourself but there are many. I have used several and will give you they're websites. Good luck
