Late 69 Chevelle 396 engine codes

**Kurt S** · #1 02-22-2007, 09:07 AM

The Jan 1970 Service News states that some late 69 Chevelles received 402's with the 1970 engine coding (eg CJA).

Is it common to see these 69 402's? Any idea of what months of Chevelle production this affected? Generally, what 69 402 engine dates have been found? Are we talking mid-June engines, early-July, etc?
Thanks!

My L78 is a late June build. It has the JD code.

Thanks!

I should probably post on Team Chevelle where all the Chevelle heads hang out.

My COPO is a 07C and had a two letter code.

So, it doesn't sound common.

Chuck,
Is there a 69 VIN on that block (i.e. was it be for a 69 or 70 car)?

Thanks!
