Just experience, similar to the stripe code on some 70 SS Chevelles.

SS-l78 showed it to me on kansas built 69 and 70 chevelle ss cars. When he first told me i thought he was on drugs and then we walked around the mecum auction and every ss chevelle that was built at kansas had an L.The malibu cars did not.

I have been observing The L on Kansas built SS cars for about 3 years and was always right on. I had seen some cars that were said to be SS cars with no L but when checking the column joint they were always welded on not bolted like the SS had. I also checked out Baltimore cars and it didnt seem to always have the L. In my area there is 10 Kansas cars to every Baltimore car so I really do not have a opinion on that one. I was once told the L didnt stand for an SS it had something to do with something that was done special since a big block was going to be put in it.

How 'bout this Charley....

This is the tag from a documented SS. The "L" in discussion is on the bottom line of the stamped information as in the following string: B L180612. The "8" under the build date is also under scrutinization.
