1970 Nova M22

Darren, you may want to check that VIN again, M22 was not an available option for a Nova in 70. 68 and 69 yes, 70 no.

I think it was offered only with the Alum. heads.

That is what I am being told. The VIN is real but the build stamp is kinda weird as the "C" is not so in line with the rest of the characters. Not sure the motivation would be to restamp a trans that wasn't going into a Nova in the first place. I'll get some pics soon.

It is still for sale as I don't really have a use for it.

Just curious what it the date from the assembly code?

If I remember correctly it is dated P0RxxC. I can't remember exactly as I don't have the trans here. I will try and snap pictures of it this week.

Only pic I have at the moment. More to come..

Are you sure it's a M-22? I had a 72 trans I thought was one. M40 splines, drain plug in the bottom. I took the side cover off and the gears were not straight cut.

764 tailhousing is for a Full Size car I believe. Novas, Camaros, Chevelles etc came with a 564 tailhousing (shorter) I may be wrong though

Here is a close up of the stamp. Not sure how to explain this one other than this is how I got it. Sound like an M22 and shifts like one that's for sure.



Here is the countershaft. Again, it had a small drip early on. On a recommendation I used JB Weld to band aid it. I don't believe it leaked since and that was in 06. Or at least there is no fluid on my garage floor.
