Straight to the pointe, eh Charlie?!!

Congrats on your find! There were 3765 RPO-L78 Novas built for the 1970 model year. This is last year for the big block Nova. I don't have a breakdown bwtween 4spd. and auto but it's fair to say there were certainly many more 4spd cars produced. If you check your paperwork you will probably find the car came with a 3:55 Posi rear, your current gears were not available in that car from the factory. I have a matching # 70 L78 auto car myself. Black with black bench seat and no frills. These cars are a hoot to drive and really run well with that h.d. turbo 400. I sent you a PM with some more info. Good luck.

I have to second that notion! Its not often that the Panthers get to the playoffs. They just might prevail!!

Us Southern boys usually cheer for college basketball. Teams like UNC (Tarheals), Duke (Blue Devils), UNCS (Wolfpack), and Wake Forest (Demon Decons) predominate in the 'sweet 16' leading up to the final four.

In any case, the best team will win on this given day. Next week, any other team could win. It just depends on whos' pumped-up for the contest.

Why couldn't a Nova come with a 4.10 gear in '70? There is a block on the dealer's order form for the various options, including G80 for the posi rear. I have seen where the dealer simply writes "4.10" next to the option box, and the car came with a 4.10!

Marlin,
I know you dont realize this from your 70 deuce, but these Nova's when equipped with the "real big block" power instead of the trainer engines could do some serious body twisting with the right combination of driver and tire. Add a 4.10 gear set or more and your local bodyman will be doing a jig atop his Bondo can! I see you have a Big Block car, congrats on your passage into Manhood! Heck, it's better then running 50 miles through the desert to be named Big Eagle instead of ChickenHawk! And heaven forbid a set of 4.10 gears hooking up behind a stout Big Block if any of the body panels were stamped overseas! As Chubby Checker said so well; "Come on Baby,,,lets do the Twist..." Now you know I'm just kiddin with ya there M, we just aint had no fun in awhile! By the way, I did try to catch you on the phone, just read your message last night, I will try to call this evening. Oh hey, I noticed on one of the other sites you were asking the firing order to your car, it's 18432576. Have a nice day M, talk to ya later!
Your Pal,
Motown
