Was not the 70 Firebird, built either at Norwood,OH or VanNuys(LA), CA ???????

Maybe you can ask at the Performance Years Pontiac web site (???)

Camaro frames should only have the (N)orwood or (L) Los Angeles designation...........

[/ QUOTE ]

I guess my point is that Camaros and Firebirds WERE built on the same line so I don't think the "N" stands for Norwood. I think I will run over to my other garage and look at my 72 and 74 Camaros and see what they have on them if anything. They are both Norwood cars.

I don't think the N is Norwood. Lets review the rear axle tube. Last two digits are G with either 1 or 2. G meaning gear and axle plant... 1 and 2 meaning shift.. N on the sub must have some other meaning that we have yet to uncover.. Is there an LA car out there with L on the code?

Hotrodpaul where are you??

I agree, I also like that we are expanding into the 2nd gen cars more.

OK, I am at my other garage and the Firebird sub has 32470S2 on it, the 72 and 74 have nothing on them at all that I can see. So is this a 70 only thing?

I think the single letter notation in the date code you guys are talking about,denotes the steel plant manufacturers name.
From what I have witnessed:
S stood for A.O. Smith(Sometimes found with a circle around it too.)
PON stood for Pontiac,Mi.
PPS stood for Parish Pressed Steel.
I'm not familar with the N notation as of yet,but it could mean Norwood,as they may have had a steel manufacturing plant there named that as well.

Finalllyyyyy!!! Now that these cars are reaching 100k+,hehehe... maybe they will get the respect they deserve...let's face it...what's the only thing better than a DZ302??? a DZ 302 with 48 more cubic inches !!!(an LT-1)

My original 51 k mile 70 Z will still rev. to 7500 rpm's just like a 69 Z!!!...with a little smoke and all!!!

Not to say the 69's are sweet too!!! I always say that the 67's and 68's are sweeet, but GM just tweaked the molds a little for 69...and came up with the perfect for 1969 Camaro...and then they broke the molds!!! (hence the screen name)

But, man....my 70 1/2 Camaro has really grown on me!!! That split bumper, front spoiler, and stripes...

My car is rather original, so I will check for the frame numbers tomorrow also!!!

thanks for all the great info.!!!
