[mnyenko]

Chitown, Check your fuel lines. If it has an original fuel sending unit. With a return fuel line. It was a 350 hp car. 3/8 fuel line with no return 375 hp. Earl

I am interested in buying your car, depending upon condition and pricing. I have a Nov 69' CKO engine with I believe a NOVA Vin on bellhousing flange, that I would like to find a correct body for....

Hi Chitown,

There are several things to check:

Make sure the core support has the big opening - but no extra holes on the driver's side for a/c stuff. Also, make sure there is a weldnut on the front of the passenger's side for the rad to bolt into.

Check the trans crossmember for the square opening with one angled corner.

Check for the bb engine mounts, they offset the block 1/2" towards the passenger side (as does the trans crossmember).

Check for the single 3/8" fuel line, but several L34 cars have been found with only one line - primarily early cars built b4 the end of '68.

Check the driver's side rear frame rail in the wheel opening for the dual exhaust plate.

Check for rear sway bar brackets welded to the underside of the floor boards above the muffler.

Check for all the disc brake stuff.

Let us know all the codes on the trim tag, and we can decipher them for you.

Could a 1970 Super Sport Nova get these Body side Mouldings?
Would these be the very same body side mouldings of which you just asked about & won yesterday?

How could an L/34 ( Rochester carb ) not have a return
fuel line? Did the fuel filter have a block-off for the
return? I like to know more about this.
