To find the *exact* specifications for a particular 1994 Chevy C1500 5.7L:
You need to find the vehicle's build sheet (sometimes called a "window sticker"). This document details the exact options and specifications of that specific truck. If you don't have a build sheet, you can try to find the vehicle identification number (VIN) and use online decoder tools or consult a Chevrolet parts dealer. The VIN will help identify the specific configuration.
