And the trans looks very fresh.

The VIN stamp on the trans does not match the one on the engine. The font on the 'O' is different and they should be the same. One of them if not both is not original.

I compared the VIN stamp and Tonowanda stamp to our "real" L78 cars and there is a noticeable difference....

What does the "B" code on the trans represent and what was it represented to be?

The B in the stamp means the transmission was an M21. (A = M20, C = M22) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

You would think that if the car had a 4:10 rear end, L/89 motor and a 3-spoke steering wheel why stop at a M-21? I would think that it should have a M-22 to complete the package.

Most 4 speed ZL1's were M21's...

Re: One of the "Infamous" L89 Nova's
 

I was led to beleive M22's were not available in Novas in 1970.
