1969 Nova Engine Code

[Schonyenko2]

Stefano, I agree with you about the fact that GM had codes to cover pretty much everything. They have codes for L71s, 70 L89 chevelles,ZL1s,it would be very much out of character of GM to omit a code for an L89 nova.
I also agree that one should have surfaced by now if they exist. 311 is a lot of cars, and I seem to remember that some were supposed to have been built in 68 also. So that would add even more to the possible pool.
My thought on the use of the L78 code is just that. A thought. Illogical, and improbable. Even givin the L78 code use, no original owner, or documentable cars have been found.
So, 1: should we assume the number of cars claimed by GM is wrong? 2: Why is there no code listed specifically for novas if they were built? 3: Is this an unknown nova specific occurance?. 4: Were there any ever built, and if not why were they claimed by GM to have been? Schonye
