The P&A catalog is the only source for the part numbers I know of although the so-called "GM Parts Wiki" might have something on C4 parts. Some of the part numbers (usually only for major parts) are available in online catalogs on various GM dealer web sites.

The 1993 catalog was the last C4 paper catalog. After that, the catalog was available only in electronic or microfiche format. After about 2002, only electronic format was available which is limited to dealer-only access.

Re: C4 1993 parts book

I actually bought a CD with a PDF like this last year. Its cover all parts from 84 to 96. I printed it out double sided and it filled 3 of those 3" binders. It has not let me let down yet. I believe somewhere around 93 they dropped the paper and went to microfilm. There are more parts listed for the C4 then all the parts listed from 53 to 82. I also have that parts book and it about 1/3 the size.

Keep in mind that the vast majority of the parts shown in the C4 parts catalogs are now discontinued.

Yes I know that but it helps when tracking original parts when doing a restoration . You be surprise what pops up when you Google those old part numbers. It has help me tremendously.

Yes, I was not saying the P&A catalog information is not useful, only that it's not useful if one's intention is to use the information to go to the GM dealer and order the parts.

It also needs to be understood that the parts shown for an earlier C4 Corvette in a later C4 P&A catalog might not be the original part number used for the earlier C4 Corvette.

Yes these old parts books are old but it gives you somewhere to start your search not to mention learning the correct part name. Along with the internet I have done very well tracking down original factory parts some NOS and some used.

I don't have a 1993 Corvette parts catalog but I do have a 1984-1992 Corvette Parts Catalog (Oct. 1991) which covers text and illustrations and is about 2 1/4" thick.

Frank,
I have found that if a C-4 part is needed one can go the their local dealer have them look up the part number, than ask if they can look up
what dealer in the US has that part in stock. I have found a number of parts located at US dealers. One part was the serpentine belt for
my 93 ZR-1 and my 1990 L-98. The dealer advised he had 4 of the ZR-1 and 3 of the L-98. The Chevrolet dealer in my area had nothing,
but the dealer in Billings, Mt. had both. I have found gaskets, EGR valve, EGR solenoid, evaporator canister, and various original vacuum lines.
Give it a try, there are dealers that have multiple parts.
