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.
