199 is the cast date (Julian style).
A2048 - A is unconfirmed, some say shift but I think plant, 204th day of 68.

It was 191355192  out of an Oshawa Canada built 69 Nova.

I considered that, but can not find any souce that indicates St. Therese (or Oshawa) built any Nova's.

Restoration / Re: Firewall Blackout Paint

« on: July 29, 2009, 07:37:53 PM »

The in-line repair booth where blackout and stripes were done had manifolds for all the gloss exterior colors, lower-gloss blackout paint, and purge thinner.

The firewall black does have some gloss, not much though.
Note that the tailpanel and rockers used the same paint, right John?

And I agree, the heater cover should not be a full-on gloss. More like 70-80% sounds about right.....

Lawrence,
35 69 looks better. Else I'd say your tank has been replaced.

Steve,
Nice to see some late data! Not a huge surprise since it was almost a 1970 model, but I wasn't sure which way they would have done it.

05D  68 44

Thanks guys. Took a while to pull together all the info and the pics.

Victor,
Ahh, the 68 dash trim strip. Good eye, a minor detail that just got added to the Z23/Z87 section.
I'll defer all questions about it to Ed.

I added some info on how to ID which options were originally on a car. Feel free to correct any errors.

Took long enough - I started this back in 2001 or 2002!

No problem. The power of being able to edit posts.
Pretty impressive data list. But no 67's or early 68's..... yet.

Decoding/Numbers / Re: 1968 Muncies - date code with small "c" at the end ?

« on: July 17, 2009, 03:49:37 AM »

67 Muncies sometimes have a half size 7.
68 Muncies sometimes have a half size c.
I haven't really seen a pattern in the usage. I agree, inspector marks went on top of the trans.
