valve cover decal?

[RAII4speed]

would my 1969 Nova SS have a valve cover decal from the factory?
If YES, what decal would it be?
TIA

BB would have a Tonawanda Number 1 Team decal.

Mr. 70 ... Would that have been on my 1969 Nova SS 350 ?

Was your engine built at Flint "V" or Tonawanda "T". If I'm not mistaken, I've seen that decal on the RH valve cover of Tonawanda built small blocks also...Joe

According to a longtime GM employee, they didn't start using those Tonawanda The #1 stickers until 1967.

[Mr70]

He's asking about a 1969 Nova SS,so think that decal would still apply,being after '67.
Here's a small block LM-1 camaro with the same decal.

Engines slated for Chevy's SS model line up in the 69-70 model years were exclusively built at the Tonawanda, NY plant. And not just those years, IIR?

Yes, I did know he was talking about a '69. I can't tell you how many cars I've seen built before '67 with the stickers on the valve covers. I just wanted to get that bit of information out there before people start to think that all Tonawanda built engines came with them. 1967 and later only.

I believe my car was built in Flint.
Would it have had a sticker on the valve cover?

You would need to look at the engine serial number in front of the RH cyl head. If it has a "V" then the engine was built in Flint & no sticker. If it has a "T" in front of the serial number, then that is Tonawanda & it would have the sticker....Joe

[RAII4speed]

Thanks ... It is a V

I don't believe that Flint had a sticker like that. If I remember correctly Tonawanda only built big blocks. Can anybody confirm that?

You car was built in Willow Run.

To the best of my knowledge concerning 1st gen Camaros Tonawanda built small blocks (except for Z28 302's) and all big blocks. Flint only built small blocks including all the Z28 302's. I owned in the past a 1967 RS that I bought from the original owner. It was assembled in Van Nuys. It had the L30 327 that was assembled in Tonawanda, and it had the Tonawanda decal on the valve cover. I hope this helps.

Going by what X66 replied ....."You would need to look at the engine serial number in front of the RH cyl head. If it has a "V" then the engine was built in Flint & no sticker. If it has a "T" in front of the serial number, then that is Tonawanda & it would have the sticker....Joe"

My car does have a V , Is Willow run the same as Flint?

TIA

No,Flint Mi. is where your engine was assembled & the engine plant,before being shipped to Willow Run Mi. where it was inserted into your Nova waiting at the car assembly plant.
