Ron,

I wouldn't be to sure about the firewall mounted TCS. I think [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/crazy.gif[/img] that there was a change that mounted the TCS to firewall for a time. I do not have my info here, but will follow up on it.

I checked out that white L78 Nova link in the previous post, that car really looks good! The only thing I could see that needed immediate attention was the holes in the muffler, nothing a Gardner system couldn't fix - and nobody would be able to tell. I think that car is one of the best survivor L78's I've seen, the paperwork is excellent, I thought I saw a rear sway bar under there??

Marlin,
Did you look at the protecto plate? What is your theory. Do you think maybe they're unsure of the gearing on the rear or that's what is in there now? Code is for 3.55. I don't recall what the 4.11 or 4.10 code is. The fan shroud is no big deal and I think the shroud bracket can be found. I haven't seen the reproduction to see how correct it is. I'd like to see this car in person to check on rims codes and dates and other small details to make sure the car is what it says it is. Just expressing my opinions. Who wouldn't like to have low mile L78 parked in their garage.
Ron

Marlin, The wheels on the Nova in that picture, are those 14's or 15's? I have a complete set of those with SS caps but I think mine are 14's, what would they have came on? Anyway, I have a nice set with rings if anyone needs them.
Thanks,

i've judged that car unofficially [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] just by the pictures and heresay, not diamond of course, just by the posted photos, its georgeous! i hope i'm not qualifying my official judging status, just kidding of course [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Stefano....please speak to Kevin about proper judging terms or he will be banished to Wisconsin.

GREAT picture, Marlin! I noticed that car has white-line tires, and I believe your Deuce does as well. I'm trying to convince dad to go with white-lines on our Nova, but he keeps saying red-lines. It sounds natural to me: Le Mans blue car, white Yenko stripes, steel wheels, and white line tires! But, the original spare is a redline, so dad says the others will be too! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Oh well...

Not trying to beat up on the beautiful White Nova, but doesnt the POP have a P0??? transmission code making that a muncie instead of a TH400?
