That's a nice looking Nova. It does seen unusual for it to have a single 3/8 fuel line that looks original if it's a factory L34. Also seems unusual that it has a M21. M20 was the default trans which meens the M21 was ordered. While the L78 cost more, the insurance was the same back then. Keep digging. There's a story here to tell.

I wouldn't go off of the fuel line only. My father in law's 70 SS Nova was ordered with a 350/ 300 hp and a 4 speed, but came with a single 3/8 fuel line.

Weren't all Novas built in the Willow Run plant? All the ones I have done VIN search's on have been.
Also, my 71 has a single 3/8 fuel line, but it was a Rally V-8 auto from the factory. The fuel line might be one verifier, but not solely.

Novas were built at Willow Run for all years. 67 - 71's were Willow Run only. Earlier and later could be Willow Run or other plants.
