Re: 58 volt reg

That is the problem with any early or late Corvette or car . Early Corvette will have the last years dates as late year Corvette will have the next years date.
I'm into 55's early 55 will have 1954 dates ,Dist ,engine and so on even tho in 1954 Corvette dint use a V8.The guessing game is when did it start or stop.

The rule of thumb is that items dated by stamping did NOT use the letter I (could be confused with a numeral 1) while those that were dated by emboss (an insert to the casting mold) DID use the letter I...
