Congratulations on the purchase. From your avatar, it looks good.

This old thread tells the tale on cowl tags -- http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com...sion/29923-need-some-help-find-info-62-a.html

Someone with solid axle (C1) experience will be by soon.

Post some photos when you have them.

That's the correct distributor part number, but it was made on April 5, 1961; too late for your car. That distributor was used on all Corvette base engines from 1959 through 1961.

Paragon can make you a new aluminum band with that part number and a date correct for your car.
