Interchangable parts

[Henry S.]

I just bought some parts for a 67 I am restoring from a guy that owned a speed shop back in the 70's. There were some other parts included for other Vettes but not sure of what years. What is the best way to find out what they will fit? Thanks, Shooter

Hi Shooter,

Here are three sources:

1. There a number of published interchange manuals, including one for sale in the NCRS Store. Others (Corvette and non-Corvette) you can Google for, or search for on Amazon.com.

2. Fred Oliva has put together a very extensive interchange manual for midyears. It contains every part in their Assembly Instruction Manuals and cross-references them to the 1963-67 Chevrolet Full Size, Chevy II, Nova, and Chevelle Assembly Manuals. (http://www.gate.net/~foliva/interchange.htm

Another one I just thought of...

4. If you've got part numbers, you can Google them, or even search for them on eBay. While the latter method may not be totally reliable (some sellers are not as knowledgeable as they pretend to be), it might get you enough info to point you in the right direction.

Louis,

Thank you for your response. I will check them out. I know from reading on the board many parts have had number changes. Most of the items were purchased in the late 60's or early 70's I believe. We're not talking a truckload just 3-4 boxes. Thanks again Louis, you know you can always depend on the NCRS members when you have a question.

Take care,
Shooter

In the back of the latest "DRIVELINE" there a book for sale from NCRS re this subject of Interchangeable parts.
