manufactured, and which plant made it. This book shows you where to look
for casting numbers on parts and how to decIn Printher their codes so

the Numbers series set the standard in Chevrolet parts identification.

the Numbers. In this book Colvin has managed to go beyond the Chevy
books by including information such as Delco starters and radios, LOF
glass codes, and year-by-year model changes. Restoring your Corvette to
