Default Problem with logic of part #s

Hi Lynn

There is a problem with the perfectly logical of working back from the parts sheet number to the Canadian Parts Book part numbers. The Parts Sheet was US and for some very strange reason not all the part numbers back and forth across the boarder are the same.

I have both master parts books covering period of the pages I posted, both Canadian and US an it often drives me crazy to find visually identical parts one Canadian one US with two different part numbers.

The best use of either parts book these days is to find those parts which were common to a particular time to a particular vehicle and then go looking for parts that way.

Just to add to the fun the Chevy CMP Part numbers sometimes match the civilian parts book sometimes they don't.

As I have not installed the engine mount I posted pictures of I can easily provide dimensions.

Cheers Phil
