Re: 1970 L78 Nova SS owner needs feedback.
Tom
No 70 L-78 Chevelle has ever been reported as having a 163 intake,nor the later released D/Snorkle. Mark From what I've found on 1970 vehicles: When no Radio was ordered AND Tinted glass was not,the clear windshield will not have an internal antenna in it. When no Radio was ordered,BUT Tinted glass was,the tinted windshield will have an internal antenna in it. When a Radio was ordered BUT Tinted glass was not,the clear windshield will have the internal antenna in it. When a Radio was ordered AND Tinted glass was too,the Tinted windshield will have the internal antenna in it.

Re: 1970 L78 Nova SS owner needs feedback.
I have never heard of any 70 L78 engine having anything other than the 569 intake and 291 cylinder head, on a Chevelle or a Nova whatever. I don't claim to be an expert on Novas but the flat top 3 in the V.I.N. is not the only thing I have question about on the engine stamp. Maybe somebody with a known original engine in their Nova can compare the W on their block and see if it matches this cars. I personally think the trans stamp is good, you can even make out the 1 in front of the 0 if you look hard enough, but the engine stamp has a few things I don't think are right.

Re: 1970 L78 Nova SS owner needs feedback.
My Nova is very early 3/70 production and has the throttle cable rather than the linkage... Also had an open element air cleaner according to the previous owner who bought it from the original owner in 1972.

If yours is a restamp, it's the best one I've ever seen.
