70 Nova Broadcast sheet

[Mike]

Do the 70 Nova broadcast sheets list motor codes...L-78, L-34, etc?

Thanks,
Mike

Yep.

Very few, the build sheet might - if you can find one, but the broadcast sheets don't normally have the engine designation on them - that stopped after '69.

I was inturpretting the build sheet and the boardcast sheet as the same unit.

Are build sheets found inside the interior? I thought they were taped to the engine bay and then removed upon prep?

Unrelated to '70s, but the other day I was helping our buddy Johnny Cat move some parts to a Nova he got from us a while back...while loading the back seat parts I noticed a couple shreads of paper, and we got to looking harder, and found the majority of one of the sheets! And thankfully, there was a enough of it that had the body number and showed the L78/M20/3.55...absolutely made our day!

Build sheets are found throughout the interior. Behind seats, under carpet... really anywhere... in the headliner, behind kick panels...

Ok boys here is the info I have: 70 build sheets(the one you find in the seat) don't list the engine. they may list trans(if it is manual on the floor). I have several examples of this.Column shift A/T cars have no trans listed..may have something to do with cutting the hole in the floor. Now for the Broadcast forms: there are 2, Chassis Broadcast copy and Body Broadcast Copy. the engine code is listed on the Chassis document. these documents cover all the codes for suspension, air cleaner, tires, battery cables, radiator hoses, etc. I have never seen any other L78 original Broadcast sheets in all my travels. Greg Roberts may have copies from other vehicles with diff. options. the Broadcast froms are very rare...

The '70 broadcast sheet for manual trans cars will show M20 to denote this, regardless as to whether it's an M20, M21 or M22 - it simply means manual trans. This will necessitate body changes like a hole in the trans tunnell for the shifter like TW says, but also an extra hole in the firewall for the different exit of the speedo cable and the related cover plate/screws for the already existing hole for the a/t speedo location.

Right on the money..I have 2 buildsheets that we found in my 70 black L78 car and they both have M-20 listed. The car, however was special ordered with an M-21. Curious if anyone else out there has any BB Broadcast sheets from their cars??
