I'm looking at an original b.o.sale for a '68 Nova with an L30, 275hp Turbo-Fire V8. It's engine assy date is 'V0311EA', and was sold on 4-17-68. I've been looking for this car, it's nicely optioned with 733 black interior, T60 heavy duty battery, F40 special suspension, U63 am radio, and M11 Floor shift control. There is no mention of the optional M20/M21/M22, but the EA code denotes a 4speed and the trans code on this sheet is 'S8B07' - I think this is a Saginaw 4speed?

This is not an SS car, unusual with the F40 option but not impossible, the F40 was available on all models.

M-20 or whatever as long as it's a 4 sp.Should also have multi-leaf springs.Both the std.327 and the L-30 auto used a single leaf rear.All 4sp. got the multi-leaf.Look for the 4 sp radiator and rear end id #/dates.

Marlin, it would be a Saginaw transmission, and the numbers decode as one built in Feb 07, 68. The 4-spd Muncies were only installed in the SS models with the 350 or 396. 68L30 is correct about the springs, should be multileaf with any 4spd...............RatPack............

The "EA" code just denotes a manual transmission, not necessarily a four-speed. Without the M20 code on the window sticker, this was a three-speed car with a floor shift.

I have a friend looking for a legit '68 L79 Nova. If anybody knows of one for sale, let me know. Thanks.
