Didn't Chevy advertise something about a computer selected suspension system around 69 or 70? They used this as some type of marketing gimmick but may have really used a primitive computer program to select the suspension components. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

JoeC,

They did at that. I am sure the computer that created the broadcast sheet calculated the total option weight before selecting the codes. The parts book shows how to calulate the 1969 weight. Nothing shows the 1970 weights used on the broadcast sheet. I think this means that the system was too complicated. I might be able to backend the spring weights to codes from the parts history books and the AMA sheets. We all need a challenge! LOL.

Greg

PS I would love to get a hold of the program logic that created the broadcast sheets...........
