Default Re: 1966 Nova SS L79 COPO options? Dealer options?

Most 1966 V/8 Chevy IIs were 10 bolts, but some 327/275HP cars and all L79's were 12's.
The F40 HD Suspension option was basically upgraded shocks, rear springs (still mono leaf) and sway bar. That's about all you could expect for $4.75, which is what the option cost in 1966.

Were sintered metallic brakelinings used commonly on L-79 cars or was that an unusual option ?

Rare option, even on Chevy II L79's. Same thing for transistor ignition. Frequently these options are found together on cars that were ordered by buyers who knew the 'go fast' potential of the L79.
