Re: 69 BB identification
Lowmile and YDR, Thanks for your continued interest in helping me solve this mystery. Here are the updated positives: BB radiator support(thanks allen for the great shots), correct engine mounting, correct BB heater hose location,and front power disc brakes. Now the negatives: one fuel line with no signs of ghosts of other lines ever having lived there. It appears to be a 3/8 line but I have to measure it. I also have to look on top of the tank to see if anything is capped off, SB transmission xmember holding up a 1970 M22 (Colvin's book for reference), nobody seems to have ever heard of the dealer listed on that "dealer invoice"(Collins Chevrolet/Bayonne NJ), no build sheet under back seat unless it's in the foam somewhere - it's not in the springs, front seats not original but are correct 69 buckets, engine is a non-original 396 w/a day 2 flexfan - cool fan but no ID help. Still to be researched - correct dual exhaust hangar mounts, shock tag ID - a longshot I feel, looking harder at that "invoice" to try and think of something I may have overlooked. Any pics you Nova guys have to offer are GREATLY appreciated. I have about a half dozen Nova/Chevy books but they all have their faults. Special thanks to all you guys with the PMs and emails. I couldn't have put this mystery in better hands. Digital pics will come as soon as I actually buy a digital camera (soon). sincerely, Marc
