Hey JJJ...guess you should invest in a the Corvette ":Black Book"
which does list the part number that Wayne posted...

You may also want to spend 10 bucks and become a regular member of
the C3 registry (www.C3VR.com) lots of info on the C3 vettes PLUS lots
of knowledgeable members who are always willing to help... I got so
much info I wrote e check to become a lifetime member...never
regretted that one single bit..

Thanks Bob G.
I will follow-up on the recommendation as I am finding other things that
don't appear to the right part. But I guess it only really matters to the
degree that I drive it and show it off once in a while.

Much appreciated
