02D is not 1970/Feb/4th week, it reads 02/4 as in 02 0ut of 12 months production 12D is December 4th week. 09D is September. Your tag should show ST 69 11427 if it correct for your VIN.

stefano My vin is 114279w430890 The trim tag states (02d) as build code?? That should equal (1970 feb. 4th week) correct..But car is with out a doubt a 1969 model, Thats a no brainer. Please let me know if i am missing something

[/ QUOTE ] Everything you are stating lines up with a Feb 1969 69 nova including the vin 430xxx, nothing 1970 about it. the 0 in 02 isnt 1970

stefano, WOW I assumed it was a late built 69 car not thinking to look into the date code further thanks for the help So with that said I need to find (late 68) (early janurary 69 parts) to be correct. heads, intake, dis and a 272 block. Thanks

Todd, if you need a block, I have a JH code 272 4-bolt main block out of a Nova stamped T0416JH. Casting date on the block is D149 or April 14th 1969. A little late for your car though since yours is 02D.

Hey Todd, how's it going - welcome to the site

Your '69 is indeed a 4th week of Feb. '69 build date. It's been a while since we've talked, but in the interim I've picked up a '69 Ss L78 as well - dated 02A, and I've bought all of the Jan/Feb parts out there

Tell us more about the '69, options, colors, condition etc...

BTW, do you need a ROBERT Chev. HICKSVILLE NY plate for your deuce? I picked one up recently
