What gears were issued on 1970 Yenko Nova's?
Is there anything special about the 12-bolts in those cars?

I have seen two 4.10 rears that were the standard COPO 3916226/3916228 set.

I think the 4.56 rears used the 3916230/3916231 gearset.
I am still trying to locate the one that was in my area last year.

Hope this helps,
Eric

I think all 175 were built with 4:10 posi.
Anything different would have been changed at the dealership after delivery.

There was a forrest green one that may have had 3:73s, and a red one I think, that had 4:56s. I repeat the word MAY.

What was the axle code for this 12-Bolt?
Did it use the latter 12-Bolt casting #'s?
Was there any other car that got this axle or over the counter?
Thanx!

Was this gearset different from any other 4:10 issued?
Anything of this similar to the COPO version in the Camaro's?

Axle tube stampimg is CBW. They are a deuce only item. Not even listed in Colvins book. I expect there may have been around 175-178 depending on the Canadian copo novas. That's all.
