Oil — dusty-use source qualification
ST-12's table lists 1,000 miles for dusty operation, while its prose says severity prevents a definite drain period. Use the actual conditions and a technician's assessment rather than treating the table as a universal dust interval.

Fitment must be confirmed
The later ST-12 guide describes a washable cap, but the inspected exact-year material does not establish the installed cap design for each 1960 configuration. Its 2,000-mile washing instruction is therefore not assigned here. Inspect the actual hardware; this is not a PCV-valve replacement instruction. These are Chevrolet's later 1962 consolidated-guide recommendations for the covered Corvette range, not a transcription of the original 1960 owner's schedule.

Distributor service source boundaryView intervals, applicability and sources
Distributor service source boundary
Fitment must be confirmed
The 1960 specification sheets identify different distributors for standard carburetion, dual carburetion and fuel injection. The later ST-12 guide distinguishes oiler, pivot, cam and felt-wick designs, including optional-carburetor equipment from its broader model range. An exact design-to-interval mapping has not been established here, so its numeric distributor instructions are withheld rather than assigned by engine wording alone. Confirm the installed distributor and its service instructions. These are Chevrolet's later 1962 consolidated-guide recommendations for the covered Corvette range, not a transcription of the original 1960 owner's schedule. Confirm the installed component and condition; the original 1960 factory-fill requirements are not established here.
