If you love Corvettes, whether you own one or are looking to buy one, MSA-1's Chevrolet Corvette 1953-1982 Factory Part & Casting Number Guide provides the numbers and codes that you need to ID casting numbers, suffix codes, transmission codes, and rear axle codes to verify a numbers-matching car. This book was made to take in your pocket as you shop for Corvettes and Corvette parts. Remember, no one wants to buy a numbers-matching Corvette 427/425, only to find out after the deal is made that it is a cloned 350 car. For example, say that you find a 1969 Corvette 427 and are told it is numbers-matching. The casting numbers for the block, heads, intake, exhaust manifolds, and water pump are grouped together so you can quickly, on the spot, check the numbers. Suffix codes for every Corvette engine are listed, as well as transmission codes and rear axle codes for every Corvette axle, giving the original ratio and posi/non. It also includes Corvette production counts and part numbers.
