Default Re: 1970 nova suspension option?

John, the F41 suspension option included a rear sway bar, but this didn't come out until spring of 1970. The actual part is kind of weird looking....small diameter bar...looks like a clothesline to me. As for the booster I believe power assist was an option with the drum brakes. Power disc was std. on the SS models and was also available with reguar models. I will double check my Nova literature to be sure.

How ya doing?? tw

1= Chevrolet
14=Nova, V8
27=2 door coupe

The only way to verify SS is if you have build sheet with ss code or if engine #'s match vin. Certain engine options required ss package.

The A/C rules out the possibility of COPO or L-78, but it could still be a 70 Super Sport.

I had a 1974 Nova Custom coupe that had power drum breaks. Boy talk about chevrolet being cheap. I never could understand why you would have power assist and have drums on all corners.
