UNIT AND SERIAL NUMBER LOCATIONS

For the convenience of servicemen when writing up

certain business papers, such as L. & M.R.'s Product

Information Reports, or reporting product failures in

any way, we are showing below the location of various

unit numbers. These unit numbers and their prefixes

and suffixes are necessary on these papers for various

reasons—such as accounting, follow-up on production,

etc.

The prefixes on certain units identify the plant in which

the unit was manufactured, and thereby permits proper

follow-up of the plant involved to get corrections made

when necessary.

Engine Unit Number

The engine unit number (figs. 3 and 4) shows manu-

facturing plant, month and day of manufacture, and

transmission type. A typical engine number would be

F1210FA, which would breakdown thus:

F~Manufacturing Plant (F—Flint, T—Tonawanda)

12—Month of manufacture (December)

10—Day of manufacture (tenth)

FA—Transmission and engine type

Vehicle Serial Number

A typical vehicle serial number tag (fig. 1) yields

manufacturers identity, vehicle type, model year, as-

sembly plant and production unit number when broken

down as shown in the following chart.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

WHEELS

Chevrolet, Chevelle, Camaro, Chevy n, and Corvette

are base equipped with welded steel wheels. Five studs

with nuts fasten each wheel to the front hub or rear axle

flange. Disc brake equipped vehicles (except Chevrolet

and Corvette) require special 14 inch diameter wheels

with a revised design for clearance, Chevrolet disc brake

equipped vehicles have 15 in. diameter wheels as do all

Corvettes.

Chevrolet station wagons, Chevelle Super Sport 396,

Corvette and Camaro Super Sport 350 are base equipped

with 6 in. width wheels. All other vehicles have 5 in.

width wheels, except Chevy n 100, 300 and 500 Series

Sedans, which have 4 in. width wheels.

Do not install 6 inch width wheels or snow chains on

Chevrolets equipped with rear fender skirts.

TIRES

The factory installed tires on Chevrolet passenger

cars are selected to provide the best all around tire

performance for all normal operation. They are de-

signed to operate satisfactorily with loads up to and in-

cluding the specified full rated load capacity of the
automobile when inflated as recommended in the Vehicle

Capacity Rating and Recommended Tire Inflation Pres-

sures Table (see Specifications).

Optional Oversize and 8-Ply Rating Tires

{Chevrolet and Chevelle Only)

Oversize or 8-ply rating tires are not necessary on

passenger cars for normal requirements. However, an

extra margin of tire service is available when these

options are used at loads up to and including full rated

load.

Optional oversize 4-ply rating and/or 8-ply rating

tires are available on models as indicated in the Tire

Usage Chart (see Specifications). On some models (ex-

ample—Station Wagon), space limitations do not permit

the use of a larger size tire; hence, the 8-ply rating

tire is an available option.

In either case, these tires are applicable to extended

operation at or near full rated load or for trailer towing

when an extra margin of tire service is desired. How-

ever, use of a larger tire or an 8-ply rating tire should

not be construed as permitting an increase in the full

rated vehicle load (see Specifications).

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS

TIRES

Inflation Pressures

To ensure the proper tire inflation pressure for the

owners particular requirements follow the recommenda-

tions in the Vehicle Capacity Rating and Recommended

Tire Inflation Pressures Table (seeSpecifications). Keep

tires properly inflated, and check inflation pressures

periodically. This will ensure the best tire life and riding

comfort, over the full range of driving conditions.
Inspection

Every few thousand miles and at each lubrication, tires

should be checked for sharp objects or stones in the

tread. H tire is punctured, it should be repaired using

one of several repair kits available through tire manu-

facturers1 outlets.

Wear

Misalignment

This is wear due to excessive toe-in or toe-out. In

Fenders, and Skirts

The temperature of the body must be maintained at a

moderate level between approximately 65 and 90 degrees.

Too warm a body will cause the wood grain film to stick

prematurely while too cool a body will reduce the adhe-

sion of the wood grain film. Cool, the body panel with

cool water when too warm and heat the body panel with

a heat gun or a heat lamp when too cold. Just prior to

application of the transfer film clean the painted surface

with a non-petroleum base volatile cleaner and allow to

dry.

Follow the steps below for easy application of the film.

1.
Cut the tape backing the entire width of the transfer
at the approximate centerline of the film exercising

care not to damage the transfer film.

2.
Peel the paper backing from one half of the film.

3.
Align the upper edge of the half of the film with the

paper backing to the lower edge of the pierced mold-

ing holes making sure that the transfer is centered

on the panel.

4.
Starting at the center of the transfer and using a

water dampened rag, press that half of the transfer

with the backing removed on to the panel. Work

outboard from the middle to the edges. Remove all

air bubbles.
