SGC,where are you located?
That is a known Tona assembly date for an L-78. The stamp fonts look correct,but there are some who have those in there tool boxes so take that with a grain of salt...Seeing the metal pad paintless sure would help add to it's validity. Which car did this originaly come out of?..a 1970 L-78 4spd. Nova or Chevelle? |

-----Stamping appears to me to be correct. The second didget is an "I" that appears to have been damaged. One ear is gone and therefore it looks similar to a "1". Do I get a prize???

Looks good to me - I worked at the Tonawanda complex back in the day. Multiple vendors caused slight variations in charactors. The only way that I know of to be positive is to have access to known, real stamps that were just prior and just after this stamp. If the charactors are the same - you can be pretty sure that it's a legit stamp. Al Grenning has a huge data base, but he only certifies Corvette stamps. Jerry probably has a good data base for Camaros.

One thing is sure....That is that nobody can give you a for sure answer based on the picture you supplied. The paint needs to be removed to really see the stamping. I would not make a decision to buy or not based on that picture.

The one with only one leg on the top is fine, I have examples of the same "I" in my files. As far as the entire stamp, yes, remove the paint. Broach marks are a large part of the original heritage of a stamp.
