You gotta go with the Frost Green, that is a killer color - check this one out:

I agree,stay with the original frost green color.It's a color you don't see on novas much.Also,check to see if you have a single 3/8's fuel line going to the engine area.

I thought the "No A/C on solid lifter cars" was due to the need to remove the upper a/c bracket on the driver side in order to remove the valve cover for valve adjustment. Passenger side is no picnic either, with the suitcase in the way.

My Yenko Tribute was an original A/C car, and and I went with hydraulic valves in my L-72 so I wouldn't have to periodically adjust them.

I believe the no air in solids has more to do with the possibility of damage to the compressor at high RPMs, and some pulley issues in keeping the belt on.
Novaman, can you list the items that lead you to believe that this is a L78?
Maybe we can help you to find the answer. And Sammy, and bbbenny are right down the road. They'd give you a hand I bet. Also Sammy helped me get a frost green Z from that area a while ago. It's stayin frost green. In base clear, it looks very nice.

Yes it did have the single 3/8" fuel line. That is one thing that I noticed before I bought the car. L78

Original color is the only choice for a real L78....that green with some steel wheels and dog caps would be awesome!

Do yourself a favor, don't get tied up with Sammy...he only understands small block cars
