This one, GM #1552729, aka AC CV-202:




This is an EXTREMELY difficult to find item and this one's not for sale. Many years ago the late Dale Pearman wanted to buy this one from me for his restoration of a very famous 1962 and I wouldn't sell it. I have not changed my mind as I don't sell parts.

Re: 1962 corvette rpo242

Joe, thank you for your reply. I also have a CV-202. GM parts list this one for 1961 which was a 283. I am just trying to find out if it was still used on a late 62 (12916/14531). Don

I know the P&A Catalog says 1961. However, according to the late Dale Pearman whose long-time specialty was 1962 Corvettes, this is the one.

By the way, there were different versions of the CV-202. The original is the black version shown above. Later, it had a zinc or cadmium finish but was otherwise the same, with the same stamped part number. Later yet, there MAY have been another version that was of stamped steel construction.

Re: 1962 corvette rpo242

Joe, the one I have looks like the one you pictured. The box mine came in was #5646178 but the valve is stamped 1552729. It also has a white label around it printed with red saying AC(circled) type cv-202. It also has 2 arrows indicating "to manifold". I think the box indicated a part number change. thanks again. Don

Did this option have a yellow paper tag on the PCV hose.? Trying to get my paper research up to date.
Any help is appreciated.

Re: 1962 corvette rpo242

Dave, I am not aware of any tag on the PCV hose. I believe that the hose is only described as black with possibly AC printed in white. The only thing that I know of is a yellow card that was to attach to the inside mirror. Don

Thanks Don,
Might you know the part number and/or a description of that card. ? Any help is appreciated. Is it approx. 2" X 4".?

Dave, the PCV caution tag is a yellow card printed with red. It is a 3x5 card #3781283. There are reproductions out there. Don
