Answer
This level of detail is far beyond my expertise.  However, there are a number of great Chevy websites with forums where you should ask this question, such as:

You might also want to check Corvette-specific forums like this:

I'm sure you'll find someone there with the knowledge you need.  Good luck!

Expertise

I can answer most questions on vintage-car history and trivia, but there are three things I can't help with: 1) repair questions 2) "where-can-I-find-the-VIN-on-my-car?" questions 3) what's-my-car-worth questions I'm not a mechanic, I can't know the location of every VIN plate on every vehicle ever made, and I can't appraise a vehicle I can't see.

Experience

I've been a classic-car fanatic my entire life, and have spent most of my free time studying the automotive industry and its history.
