That paperwork, in my opinion, is questionable and the stamp pad needs cleaned and closer examination. I would suggest if anyone is serious about the car (pay the fee) and have the shipper/tank sticker numbers sent to the NCRS to validate it. Not going to validate any of the cars options but it will tell you if that is the correct tank/shipper order numbers for the car. In my opinion, the car has way too much going for it, if you know what I mean. The car is way over priced even if everything checked out

The ad isn’t totally wrong. The 842 is a well known application on the early L89s. It did not have a plug on the face of it. Easy to tell the difference (amongst others). The 074 was used in non early production.

I would argue that 074 were used on 69 L89s. I believe that 842 were the only aluminum head used on L89 corvettes in 1969 and the newest 69 NCRS judging guide does as well.
