Dealer Code 308 Zone 20 Dealer name/address ?????

[Charles P.]

Hello to all I recieved ship data report for my 1972 Corvette Coupe.
(1) The GM offical production date is 6/29/72 . (2) The original delievery dealer was Dealer Code 308 in Zone 20. The name & address for the dealer was. ( No dealer info available believed to be in CA. or AZ. ) Thats what was in my report ,I believe the dealer to be in Califorina because my 72 has the base engine with Air-Inection Reactor. According to my current 70-72 Corvette Technical Information Manual & Judging Guide page 67 it reads > Those cars equipped with the AIR system were LT1's , all LS6's , all 1972 454's , all 1972's delievered to Califorina and NB2-equipped base 200 horsepower.-------- * Those 200 horsepower(base engine) Corvettes delievered for sale in Califorina were required to be equiped with NB2 which included among other air items AIR. --------Base engine Corvettes delievered for sale in the other 49 states were not equipped with an Air Injection System nor drilled & tapped for AIR fitting. If ANYONE has info to help me find name & address of the dealer ---your help is greatly appreicated -----send me email ( cpstingray@hughes.net) or call (480-720-0684) Thank You from Charles in ARIZONA.

My Error ---Here is Correction >>TIM&JG 4th Edition ,Green cover: Page 67, Air-Injection Reactor Fittings > Engines equipped with Air-Injection Reactor (AIR) systems have four holes tapped into each manifold for the AIR pipes. Those cars equipped with the AIR system were all LT1s,all LS6s,all 1972 454s,all 1972s delievered to California and NB2-equipped base 200 horse power. * Those 200 horsepower (base engine) Corvettes delievered for sale in California were required to be equipped with NB2 which included amoung other items AIR ; therefore, those manifolds were drilled and tapped for AIR fittings. Base engine Corvettes delievered for sale in the other 49 states were not equipped with the Air Injection Reactor System nor drilled and tapped for the AIR fittings.In either case the casting numder is the same. Page 76>AIR REQUIRED VECHILES- Those cars quipped with AIR systems included all LT1s, 1971 LS6 engines , all 1972 454 engines, 1972 base engines (200 HP) and all delievered for sale in California. We have seen no documentation to indicate that Corvettes prepared for export to Canada or elsewhere were equipped with any different emissions equipment than those delievered in the United States. Therefore,Corvettes bulit for export are judged with the same emissions requirements as those delievered in the USA

Hi Charles,
I know this is probably old news since your post dates from two years past, but your dealer Z20/DC308 was Harry Mann Chevrolet at 5735 S. Crenshaw Bl, Los Angeles. Closed since the 1980s, and so far as anyone has been able to determine, no sales records were saved.
