This was in a box of parts I bought at a swap meet. The part # is 14192697 It looks like a heat shield for something.

Re: What is this part???
Jake------Are you SURE that's the part number? Also, is this a part number that's on a box or parts label or a number embossed on the part, itself?
As far as I can tell, GM #14192697 was never a released part number. In fact, I don't even think it's a Chevrolet-assigned part number. If the number were 14102697 that would be a Chevrolet part number, but I don't have any record of it being a released part number, either.In Appreciation of John Hinckley -

I am not at home to confirm what I believe this part is. I have a shield that looks just like this bolted to the lower back of the block, driver's side, that I think is for the back-up light switch for my automatic transmission in my 67.

Re: What is this part???
Here is a clear picture of the part. I think it's a heat/splash shield for a C4.Comment

IF this were a GM part, the type of number seen here, which appears to be either a stamping or a printing, would represent a part number and not a casting or other sort of ID number. However, I can find no record, at all, of this number. That means no record, at all, within the entire GM SERVICE parts system, Chevrolet or otherwise. It's possible, of course, that it's a PRODUCTION-only part. However, aside from fasteners, there are really VERY few parts that are PRODUCTION-only and it's very unlikely that this sort of part would be among them.
Even if it were a PRODUCTION-only part I would not expect a part number with a 1419 prefix. IF the "9" is actually a "0" (which it does not appear to be from what I can see in your photo) AND IF we are somehow mis-reading the last 4 digits, then it could be a Chevrolet part number and, very possibly, from a C4.
If the number is actually 14192697, then I think this is not even a GM part, at all, and the number represents a number within some other manufacturer's nomenclature system.In Appreciation of John HinckleyComment

Re: What is this part???
The mystery part has been identified! It is a heat shield for the fuel filter on a C4 Corvette. The guy I bought it from said it was from a C4, and it has been identified, and confirmed to be a fuel filter heat shield on a '90 C4! It probably fits other years, but it was confirmed on another '90 C4.
Thanks to all who responded to this Thread.Comment

As I mentioned the possibility of, the number 14192697 is WRONG. I can't see it well enough in your photo to say if it's incorrectly stamped or if you're just mis-reading it. However, the number 14092697 is the fuel filter filter shield applicable to 86-88 Corvettes. I have no information that it's applicable to later years but it's possible it may be. In any event, it is applicable to 86-88.In Appreciation of John HinckleyComment

Re: What is this part???
Joe--Thanks for your expertise on this part. You can clearly see the "9" in the part #. I am sure it was stamped wrong. I wonder how many of these were installed on the assembly line, with the incorrect part # stamped in it?Comment

It's not really the 4th digit (the "9") in the part number that's the issue. That was part of my original speculation as to what the mis-identified character might be. However, it now appears that it's the 3rd digit in the part number that is incorrect, either stamped incorrectly or mis-identified. Instead of being a "1" it's actually a "0". If it actually is a "1", then the part number is mis-stamped. This is RARE. As I mentioned, though, I can't see it well enough in your photo to say.In Appreciation of John HinckleyComment
