It's certainly not life or death for me if I don't get to the bottom of this, but I was just curious...   Larry ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Lessenberry To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2005 1:50 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Numbers It's just a number--has nothing to do with whether it's a SS or Malibu or even the part #.  There was a thread on TC about this a while back.

Anybody know the secret?   You can see what I'm talking about here...   http://www.fuglybrothers.com/images/numbers.gif   Thanks, Larry
