    Numbers

    HEllo
    I just bought a 1960 with the 230/283 engine and 4 speed. Seems very original, engine numbers match, I would like see if carb, intake, Transmission, rear end,etc, are also original. Any advice where I can find these numbers??

    NCRS Judging manual for 1960 will help greatly. Also the book "Chevrolet by the Numbers" by Alan L. Colvin. It goes in great detail with over 281 pages covering every major driveline part.

      Hi Charlie, congratulations on your purchase. Mr. Alan Colvin's Corvette by the Numbers book really helped to figure out the numbers and date codes on many parts when I was getting started:



      As James also mentioned, the Judging Guide will be a great help, whether you intend to have the car judged or not. I'm sure Noland Adams' "Corvette Restoration & Technical Guide Vol. 1" would be a great resource as well. Even if your car doesn't need any restoration work, if it contains a similar quality and quantity of information as Mr. Adams' Vol. 2 (for 1963-1967 Corvettes), I can't imagine not having it.

      These books and many others should be available here on the website.

      Have fun with your new car!
