One of ? L89 Nova for sale at Russo and Steele

[copo-2]

Just a couple of questions?

(1) When did the Nova start sharing the same suffix code with the Chevelle?

(2) When was production stopped on the #842 heads?

[Mr.Nickey Nova]

According to the (Chevy By The Numbers) book,1970 was when they started to share the same suffix codes between the Chevelle,Camaro and Nova.I thought the same thing myself and looked into it a little further.

That is the code for a L89 Chevelle.According to the Chevy By The Numbers book,CKT was listed for Chevelles only,not for Novas or Camaros,but i guess it was still possible to have installed in those cars.

Niclas, Thanks. That is the same info that I have. What I can't figure out is why others have said that CKT is a L-89 Nova only code.

Yes I know. The reason I showed it is because the poster was stating that the code was a Chevelle code ONLY but posted the list that show s the same code for the ChevyII or Nova.

[Carleen]

I just wanted to show that Chevelle and Nova has same code

[WILMASBOYL78]

This post leaves out the 2 most common codes for the L78 motor...CKO(4spd) and CTY(TH400).......I have never seen a CKQ HD clutch code on any Nova. But then, there's lots of stuff I haven't seen.
