I am going to look at what is suppose to be a 69 chevelle ss 396/375 car. Car is minus motor and trans but still has 12 bolt.Car is still in org paint. It is a non air, automatic with tach. What clues can I look for or is it imposssible without a buildsheet or pop to distinguish between 325hp car and 375hp. thanks

Look to see if it has a single 3/8 fuel line along the frame...

Did the L78 only come with a single 3/8 line? What did a 325hp car have? thanks

[396L35]

The lower HP cars had two lines: One for fuel to carb and a return line to the tank... All 375 HP cars had one 3/8" fuel line and no return line....

<font color="red">Red</font>line on tach should be 6000 rpm:



Also check the radiator tag (if present) found on the passenger side toward the engine and report back here for decipher (by people smarter than me).

Arrrggghhh! Sorry, my picture (previous post) is supposedly only 512 x 384 but looks huge to me. Now why is that?
