Chevrolet By The Numbers is the only authoritative reference for
identifying and verifying, by casting number, the correct Chevrolet V-8
engine and drivetrain parts for your exact model. Part numbers can tell
you what parts fit, but they can't tell you what part your car was
originally manufactured with. Only casting numbers can tell you what a
part's exact model and year application is, when the part was
manufactured, and which plant made it. This book shows you where to look
for casting numbers on parts and how to decipher their codes so you can
be sure you have the correct part for your car.
Only Chevrolet By The Numbers documents part casting numbers and
applications using original source material from Chevrolet's archives.
No other book has this authoritative factory information, including
photographs, engineering blueprints, technical service bulletins, and
build sheets. Most of this information has never before been seen in
public.
Restoring your Chevrolet to original factory specifications? You'll find
the casting numbers that correspond to your car's Vehicle Identification
Number to help you avoid buying the wrong parts. Buying a car? You'll
find how to tell if it really is a "matching numbers" car. Interested in
Chevrolet history? There are fascinating stories that explain everything
from mid-year running changes to production idiosyncrasies.
If you absolutely want to know the original part numbers for your
Chevrolet drivetrain - not just what interchanges or fits - but the
correct part that came with your car when it rolled off the assembly
line - Chevrolet by the Numbers has the answer.
