wow - first time poster, and he actually filled out his profile!

first of all, you need to list the year of your car. since your profile ID'd your corvette as an 85, the SPID (Service Parts IDentification) label, or as some call it, the RPO sticker, is in the LH storage compartment behind the drivers seat. there is a series of alpha/numeric codes, such as AG9, AU3, G92, UU8, Z51, etc..



you can get a list of all the option and build codes on-line. here's one list that pretty much covers the C4 models.
