I have been looking for any documentation that Yenko some how got the Novas built with the 4:10 gears to save the time and cost of changing the rear gears.

Since the axle was available, they probably just placed the order, it went through the F&SO office, and some 4.10 axles were shipped to the plant.

The window sticker shows the COPO number 9511CA

There is a RPO HF8 listed for 4:88 gear ratio but I don't know if that was used in 1969
