70 Nova Broadcast sheet

[WILMASBOYL78]

Ok boys here is the info I have: 70 build sheets(the one you find in the seat) don't list the engine. they may list trans(if it is manual on the floor). I have several examples of this.Column shift A/T cars have no trans listed..may have something to do with cutting the hole in the floor. Now for the Broadcast forms: there are 2, Chassis Broadcast copy and Body Broadcast Copy. the engine code is listed on the Chassis document. these documents cover all the codes for suspension, air cleaner, tires, battery cables, radiator hoses, etc. I have never seen any other L78 original Broadcast sheets in all my travels. Greg Roberts may have copies from other vehicles with diff. options. the Broadcast froms are very rare...

The '70 broadcast sheet for manual trans cars will show M20 to denote this, regardless as to whether it's an M20, M21 or M22 - it simply means manual trans. This will necessitate body changes like a hole in the trans tunnell for the shifter like TW says, but also an extra hole in the firewall for the different exit of the speedo cable and the related cover plate/screws for the already existing hole for the a/t speedo location.

Right on the money..I have 2 buildsheets that we found in my 70 black L78 car and they both have M-20 listed. The car, however was special ordered with an M-21. Curious if anyone else out there has any BB Broadcast sheets from their cars??

Thanks guys for all the info. I'm looking at a big block Nova that needs resto but the original motor is long gone. I was just wondering if there were any way to document what it was without orig. motor, protectoplate, etc. Some of the tell tale signs are there but alot of stuff can be changed over 35 years.

Does it have a BB radiator support?

[Mike]

Looks like it. Says it has one 3/8" fuel line as well. Code 43 Citrus but painted black somewhere along the way.
