on a vin number 0n a 1990 corvette there are 9 digits and then what
appears to be a backslash over a line and then the last 7 digits. does
anyone know how to type that symbol or what to replace it with? sorry
if in the wrong forum.

just a quick update. just found out it is the letter L which is for the
model year. the only thing now i can't figure out unless i copied the
wrong number is the 9 before the L. according to the vin decoder it
says it's an invalid vin. all the other info comes up right.

Mike is right. The ninth digit is called the check digit. It is coded to certain lots of vehicles of the same model. It verifies that the VIN is a valid number for that particular model and year. I you have the complete VIN, I have the capability to check it for validity (Law enforcement).
