[Nova Research Project]

More Nova CSI:

Remember I am still learning from the pros and the cars themselves. Here are some areas that offer clues.

Windows stickers are a whole different ball game. The codes changed more than quarterly and with every price change. And they were not any more accurate sometimes. M40 in the Assembly Manual was the TH400. Yet on the window sticker it it just signified Turbo-Hydramatic. A 6 cylinder with M40 really had a TH350 (RPO M38). I am collecting these.

Anyone have a collection of GM Zone letters? They and the dealer option and price books? (not pocket price guides) Would tell what was available and what was not. They also told if you could get a particular option combo or not. These changed quite often as things were available or not. Like the SS wheels, they were not available for a time and then later were. I am looking for digital copies of these.

Lastly the GM service bulletins and service news also told how to fix things as well as what changes were made and sometimes with what VIN the change took effect. I have these and have plans to extract the Nova related info.

You can email any information to me. As well as pictures of labels, decals, wiring harness tape, tags and marks on the body. If you send a label I do not already have I will make you one for free. The email is listed on the site linked below. I will never share specific information about one car or the owner. Just the results as there is enough to have a firm consensus.
