Re: 1970 Nova How do you tell if it is a SS?
Mark,
If the price is right on the car, just buy it and rob the rear. It should pay for a good portion if it is a BE rear.

Re: 1970 Nova How do you tell if it is a SS?
Jason I am now not 100% sure if the rear is a "BE" anymore. I had the owner look at it again and he thinks it reads out "PF" which makes more sense but the rear gears are much lower than 3:31. The light in his garage is very dim and I will not know for sure till I get the car on a lift and get some real light so I can read the code with my old eyes. We are $500.00 apart on the price. I am going to Long Beach this week end and if I do not find anything I will pull the trigger.

Re: 1970 Nova How do you tell if it is a SS?
Another good clue is the return fuel line. The only small block Novas with a return line are 350/300 hp with quadrajet. Even if the return line is gone. The original fuel line clips with two slots usually stay. Earl

Re: 1970 Nova How do you tell if it is a SS?
Look in the LH rear wheel well on the frame.If it has a rectangular plate welded on,The car came with dual exhaust and is most likely an SS.

Re: 1970 Nova How do you tell if it is a SS?
Mark, you didnt say if the engine was the born with unit...if the car has the 350/300hp small block with matching VIN...then it is a super sport..that was the base engine and only came with the SS option.

Re: 1970 Nova How do you tell if it is a SS?
Well the car sold for a $1,000 more than the price the owner was talking to me about. I guess there is such a thing as being to careful. Thanks for all the help everybody, the search continues.
