B4C is an RPO code, it would be listed in the glove box (LT1) or on the inside of the drivers? door (LS1)

^^^ yup drivers door. If it says b4c anywhere in the rpo codes it was one. Tho there is no specific look to a B4C... they came in a bunch of colors, and options. I think they *may* have come with a better battery, but thats about it. that and i think they were all hard tops, but could be wrong.

Doesn't most of them have holes (drill/screw) in the dash?

Yea, theres really no special "look" to them, from my understanding more were stripper cars (less options) so there a little bit lighter then standard Z/28s that for the most part came with more options

i think it was a retardedly low percentage of B4C's that came as 6 speeds. something like single digits per year.

Dont only the SS and Ws6's have power steering coolers? Z28s didnt have them. Wouldn't that be a "sign"? B4c cars have them. Right?

why would you look for a "sign" when you can just look at the rpo codes?

There are no special options for B4C's, just a Z28 without the badges. Buddy has three of them, all were hardtops, essentially stripper cars(except auto windows and locks), and for the most part auto cars with a few manuals like others said. Again I will say no special options!

B4C meant a lot more on 3rd gens than it ever did on 4th gens. As stated above LS1 B4C were low optioned hardtop base Camaros with all Z28 equipment but no Z28 RPO code. On LT1s the only upgrade was to a bigger amp alternator. (could have been 93-94 only).
