I have an '82 coupe. How do I tell if I have "heavy duty cooling" listed as RPO V08 in the Corvette Black Book (2006 version). This book says that 6,006 models this year were sold with this option. How does one tell?

There is a thread here somewhere that tells how you can get a copy of the window sticker or build sheet for your car.

Thank you, but I already have a build sheet and a window sticker from the NCM.

The build sheet would list the option if it was installed on the car.
I believe the quickest way to tell if your car has the HD system is to look for the oil cooler lines to the radiator from the oil filter area. The HD cooling included an oil cooler.
