Mike </div></div> Tonawanda records. </div></div> Rick, I believe the Tonawanda records show units "shipped", and not necessarily to assembly plants for production installation. Example. Tonawanda records show over 15,000 '62 409s shipped but only a little over 8,000 were installed in cars. You would need to find Chevrolet records showing how many RPO L89 options were installed in '69 models. Verne |

Verne </div></div> I have to dig for this, I remember the document showing units for installation and the number of service order engines. Ryan
