Believe the term for this sticker is Manufacturers Compliance Sticker. 72 vette ID manual refers to it as Protect-o-plate and it will contain all codes for your vehicle including carb, engine number , axle number, build date, tranny number and dealer supplied owner info on some vehicles. I just got a book that covers all vette ID numbers, "Cars & Parts Magazine" Catalog of Corvette ID Numbers 1953-93. Got mine from Amazon and it is one great reference telling where to find and how to decode every number on your vette and how to tell what is oem. Hope this helps. |thumb|

Forgot to mention that the reason a lot of vehicles don't have these is that many have been painted over, doors have been replaced or whatever, but you should have one on every vette 66 and up. Before that they were on a plate with less info under the dash and were known as trim plates. After 65 they produced the trim plate located on the drivers door hinge pillar and the compliance sticker on the opposite end of the drivers door.

Actually, this was a reply to a question someone had about the door sticker and I don't know how I started a new thread, but hopefully whoever was asking will see this. Guess its time to go to bed when I don't know what I'm doing anymore, night all.
