Where to find the Engine vin?

Hi there,

I was wondering if someone would be able tell me where on the engine block I can find the partial vin stamping. Please also include a pic on the location. The car is a '91 Z28.

Thanks for your assistance in advance.

Hi Apeiron,

Thanks for the reply. Do you have a pic on where on the deck surface I would find it, as the ac compressor is in front of the head.

Thanks

Grab a flashlight.
test the flashlights batteries by turning the switch on and off once or twice.
open driver door
pull hood cable inside car down by drivers feet (kick panel).
close driver door
release the secondary hood latch front and center of hood bottom while
opening hood
move to pass side fender
turn on flashlight again
Point eyes and light around behind your A/C compressor. Its maybe 1 1/2" x 1" pad that sticks out past the cyl head.
It may have oil and grease covering it so you may need to clean it off with a scraper or rag.
