Default Trying to decode my vin...

For some reason every time I type in my vin into the calculator at ncrs it comes up with august 18th 75, So I'm thinking im typing it wrong.
Heres what I got
IZ37L6S420882 now heres my questions :
is the I a "I" or a "1"
is the 0 an "0" or an "O"
is the 8 an "8" or a "B"
I've tried just about every combination I can think of but it's still a no-go
I'm pretty sure the birthdate is sometime this month
Thanks :)
edit: oh and heres the calculator im using http://www.ncrswi.bizland.com/wi_ncrs/bdaycalc.htm

The first number is a 1 (one) the 0 is the number zero. The 8 is the number eight.

August 18 1975 would make it an early pruduction 76.

76 cars ranged from "1Z37L6S400001" to "1Z37L6S446558"

...so all three are digits.

You need to include your "2". Your '76 is #20882 out of 46,558 1976 Corvettes made.
