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?

This car has chrome molding around the front and back windows. Is this what you are speaking of? The roof drip molding is chrome also.....

RP; Yes, SS's could certainly get these moldings - my car included since I have a 3 on my trim tag. (See pic b4 I bought it!). Body side moldings are the ones I was asking about previously.

Chi-The molding around the windshields is standard on all Novas. This number on the trim tag only relates to the moldings referenced above.

Isn't A2 the Custom Exterior Trim package? Fake louvers, double lower trim, bright trim around the door and rear quarter window and the cast pot metal panel between the tail lights?

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.
