1970mcss Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I'm sure someone will fill us in. I can't remember but I bought the air cleaner from a member, but I can't remember who. If I find it I'll let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtret Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 My pos70 is a Flint car. No build sheet. Will Someone look on their 70 SS build sheet and see what the code is ? My radiator tag was in place when I left Maryland, gone when I got back to Cincinnati. I do believe it was stolen by the wind gods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Paul, Ron and Dennis I do believe that Darren did make a mention that they were in a different numbered box. I was asking him at the time i was building the 72 Custom. I think Darren told me his was in a different box. I just checked my build sheet on the 72 Custom, and two of my 71 SSs. They are all in box 91. However the 71s have "AU" and the 72 has "LX". Not sure how that relates to the 70 SSs, someone else has to help us with that, i don't have a 70. 🙁 sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you’re referencing the air cleaner or the radiator, so I’ve attached pix of both. 5 hours ago, willie said: Paul, Ron and Dennis I do believe that Darren did make a mention that they were in a different numbered box.

Box #91 on my ‘70 SS is for wheel covers. Box #91 on the ‘71 SS is also ‘AU’. See attached pix. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange they don’t have the air cleaner decal for AU. I called them to make sure. That’s the one I’m not finding anywhere, yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Ok what Darren must of said to me is that the 70s were different. Thx for the help guys and the proof Glen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 With the information here and other research it looks like the 70’s SS cars were CN but it’s real common for California built cars. Can anyone comment on non Cali built cars. Thanks. I did just find a Baltimore build that was CN also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Thanks Glen. The RJ for the radiator will be on the metal tag attached on the passenger side or the radiator. But it looks like for 70 the CN was the standard SS emission code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered the correct air cleaner for my ‘70 thru this place as it arrived with a Quick Fuel carb and what appears to be a Chevelle air cleaner. The new/refurbished ‘70 air cleaner arrived complete with the correct stickers. Give them a shout, I’d bet they’ll have the sticker for a ‘71. https://musclecaraircleaners.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was on mine https://www.ss396.com/monte-carlo/HOJ-476.html Just curios if the labels they sell are specific for each year, ie ‘CN’ on the ‘70 label, ‘CD’ on the ‘71 label, etcetera. The one pictured on their site shows ‘PP’ (unless my old eyes are deceiving me) on the label and it lists that label for all three years. It wouldn’t bother me personally, as I give a rats a*# about a concourse level restoration. 99.9% of people who would even know that a label exists in that location likely wouldn't know the difference anyway. Still a nice touch, regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1970mcss Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Sammy, the decal on the firewall is Coded AW which matches box 104 on the build sheet. I replaced that decal when I repainted the radiator panel. I never checked the code until this morning when you asked. I believe I bought the decal from the parts place. I'm not sure if I got lucky or if all the 70 radiator labels are all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overdrive Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 My '70 SS Van Nuys build sheet has different codes for the air cleaner (CN) and the tune label (DQ). A friend's survivor SS still has the original stickers. PP on the air cleaner. I don't have a pic of his tune label. It's also a Van Nuys car, but it was assembled in September of '69. Mine was January of '70. My car has NA9 on the build sheet, but not in the equipment list, like I've seen on '71 sheets. The car never had the NA9 emissions, though.

Dan My ‘70 was built at Van Nuys 8 days after yours. Noticed that your car was shipped from the Van Nuys plant to the Leeds plant, not to a dealership. I wonder why. GM executive car? If so, why not just build it there in Kansas? Or perhaps the brass did side by side comparison of cars for quality control/consistency of assembly?
