Thanks guys your the best , Is there a site I can get the casting info from ? or should I buy a book? This is my first Vette , I am learning as I go . Its a 1970 Monza red with black leather L46 350hp car the body is in excellant shape except someone changed the headlights to the fixed trans am/Ecklers style cut out. It came with the original headlights though. I really want to put the stock ones back in but the glass was cut out for the fixed style . Any suggestions?
Thanks Again!

The best source for all your detail information is the NCRS 1970-72 Technical Information Manual & Judging Guide, available from the on-line store at www.ncrs.org - will tell you everything there is to know about how it was originally configured when it was built.

Believe it or not, although the 4th addition just came out, it's out of stock already!
