I went to this site:

If i'm reading it right it looks like a 1981 engine V= flint 10=october 10= 10th day ZDD=1981 190 hp manual trans 4bbl vette?????????????????????
There is a picture near the bottom that looks like where I got my number from. In the picture it has a number that starts with the V like mine....
What I'm confused about is
On the back of the block on the drivers side there is a place that looks like a vin number stamped on it it would decode it as a 72 1/2 ton pickup balitmore IF it is really a vin number for our trucks stamped ino the back of the block. There is a smooth area kinda oval maybe 2" long with the cce142b....number stamped in it.
