Are those crank and fan pulleys the "deep groove" ones??

wilma

They are listed as Hiperf so I would say they are L34 and not the L78 Spl Hiperf. I'll look for the part # for them. Ed

Great information........I printed this list, will watch for more when you post.

They are listed as Hiperf so I would say they are L34 and not the L78 Spl Hiperf. I'll look for the part # for them. Yes the fuel filter has black a AC on it. Ed

There is a lot of this stuff on ebay and it going for more then its worth. Ed

I was chasing 2 items tonite and lost in the stretch..NOS BB Air Cleaner(went for $635) and an NOS BB Fuel Pump($305).....the prices for the original stuff is in lunar orbit..

wilma :eek:

The BB fuel tank sending unit #6428845 is for Spl Hi Perf L78 ;) .Ed

You guys back East are lucky..IF I called the Chevy dealer around here and asked for any of those parts, I am sure the guy on the phone would fall off his stool laughing. No Dice on parts from dealers here, I have tried- ie. Fan shroud small block. Thats OK. Ebay was nice to me on that one :)

I work for a Chevy dealer :D . Ed

Be advised that these part might be new manufacture and not the original quality. Also some things are being made in the original well worn molds.

Just because it was made by GM in 2004 does not mean it is that same as came on the car originally.

GM has caught on to the restoration craze. Some dealers are also buying from the GM Restoration Part catalog. Which include authorized reproductions.

No knocking the parts, remember it is still buyer beware.

Greg R.

Greg is right. Some of the parts being sold with the GM# are new repops.

A guy in C.R. tried to sell a fellow Nova enthusiast a repop GM labelled part
as NOS. He(seller) was rather upset when I explained the difference. He felt if it said GM on the box it was NOS and worth big ****.
I did buy an actual NOS part last year that the guy thought was a GM labeled repop!!!

That's because people don't even know what NOS stands for. New Old Stock means it's new and unused but it's also Old because it was made back when the car was originally built. A new, unused part that was recently made is OER (Original Equipment, Remanufactured).

This one is the GM Nova part I want.

This stuff goes on all the time, especially EBay :mad:
Sellers get real pissed when you try to explain the difference between NOS, OEM and reproduction parts.........if it says 'GM' on the box it must be NOS :confused:

Here is a list of Nova parts you can still buy from GM. These parts are not repos they are real GM. They ARE real GM parts, but GM "SERVICE REPLACEMENT" parts. They are newly manufactured but often look unlike the original parts.

Modern Chevrolet (Classic Muscle) still carrys tons of them and they are indicated in their catalogs w/the GM part number (and / or with REPRO numbers if available as well).
http://www.oldmusclecars.com/

Does anyone know if you can still get the trunk weatherstripping from GM for a 72? I have some on my 71 I did 12 yrs ago and that stuff is absolutety the best! At the time it was kinda pricey i remember, but its 10 times better than soffseal etc.

The parts I listed are from GM and not repos, the dealers that sell repo parts are not getting them for GM,GM really has nothing to do with the GM restortion parts program. They sold the part # so it can be remanuftered by other compines. I can not by any repo parts from GM,I have to sign up to sell GM repo parts though the parts department from the manufacter that sells them. The parts that are sold now are OEM not NOS,I put this list up so you would not get burned buying the parts as NOS from ebay. They are service replacement parts and some differ from NOS parts. I'm just looking out for the little guy. Ed

Good Job!!

Purchased a fuel pump yesterday for my 427 with the part number you had listed, it came in an AC/Delco box and a good price I thought.......good info here :D

i just ordered my front filler and head bezels, my chevrolet parts guy was blown away that they were still available and actually had the front filler in stock

thanks again!

You are The Man Ed. We really need info like you are putting up.
Thanks JR :)

I haven't used it in several years but as an active or retired GM employee we have an order line for GM parts. We call in the order and pick the parts up from the Service Parts Warehouse for 60% of list price.
Different types of parts are kept at different locations. I have purchased parts from four different Service Parts locations, all of which are within 100 miles of my house.
I used to drive to Pontiac, MI and get Nova script emblems for $8 and 68-72 eyebrow mouldings for $11 and change. I also bought 68-72 hood louvers and the bezels. Most people thought they weren't available and the dealer was no help unless you had a good part number.

These parts are not the same as the original parts. I have both and the newer
ones are not the same quality. I've also looked at a few others.
Fine for a daily driver. The chrome on the bezels is not the same, looks phony or cheaper.
I can tell the difference in the filler panel after it's on unless you do some body work to it before painting. The original pieces require no body work.
It appears that they changed the plastic. I think it will hold up better and not crack like the originals but it is much wavier.

If your finding parts EXACTLY like the originals I'd like to know how, I've ordered many and sent most of them back trying to get some originals.

These parts are not the same as the original parts.
Yup...Service Replacement parts! :rolleyes:

Ya' need decent NOS to get the old quality & look. ;)

here's one site I found:

www.gmpartsdirect.com/restoration_parts

Tim

RPOZ28 Would you happed to know about any part numbers for a 74 pontiac Ventura? Thanks Cliff

here's one site I found:

www.gmpartsdirect.com/restoration_parts

Tim
They don't have a ton of stuff, but what I see is pretty nicely priced! ;)

I have part # for the venturas also let me know what ones you need for your car. Like I have said these are service replacment parts and some differ for production line parts. If your doing a numbers matching frame up resto some of these parts are not for you,but alot of resto's are done better then they came of the line. I just don't want car guy's getting robbed buying over priced parts from ebay. I got an email tonight from some one who was going to buy a NOS BB starter brace from ebay for $25.00,you can still get the part from GM #3965588 for $6.60. If your looking for some thing contact me with the part # I have lists for Camaro, Chevelle and Corvette and any other GM cars. Ed

The 11" bellhousing dust/inspection cover is still available. GM part number 00340252. Retail list $17.15. Earl

I checked with the local Canadian GM dealer re: parts list. Most items are 2 to 3 times the prices being quoted in the States so it is back to Classic Industries et al for us north of the border.

#3060942 Trunk weather strip (not cheap)

That's great news!! Take it from me that weatherstrip is worth every penny. :)

The weather strip lists for $119.60 trade is $89.69 if you know the parts guy you can get a deal. Ed

Yea, thats alot. I think that when I did my red car i got it for about $90 (which is alot!). BUT, Its worth it to have a trunk that actually seals! I used soffseal before I got the GM stuff and I would get water in there everytime I washed the car. Its good stuff :)

hey, are you sure about that part # for trunk weatherstrip? this is what i got at GM parts direct...

GM PART # 3060942
CATEGORY: Rear Hatch Window Weatherstrip

Just want to make double sure before i order some, they have it for $70 :) list is $119

The part # was 9825829 it was changed to #3060942. The GM dealer world web site lists it as (WEATHERSTRIP,R/CMPT LID GTR)and so does the old micro file. Ed

Thanks Ed! :D

Yes there are 1,312 of them in Lansing, MI. I'll have to buy some. Ed

The weather strip lists for $119.60 trade is $89.69 if you know the parts guy you can get a deal. Ed

just a note for the curious people:
i am a gm parts man in canada--the number 3060942 lists out at 167.50 and trade is 134.00 here in canada. if anyone from canada needs a part , i'd be glad to sell it to them at wholesale(trade). sometimes i can even go a little lower than trade depending on markup. i would do it for u.s guys as well but i don't think i could compete with u.s prices

WoW, :eek: big price difference up there,the price I listed is for US. Ed

you ain't kidding ed
it seem's we get ripped off on a lot of things over here. performance parts are even worse. i just buy from summit. excellent service and prices and i just have it shipped to ups store

They don't happen to do dashes or other interior pieces yet, do they? I'd like to pick up a dash pad for my 68 and a rear cover under the window for that deck area.

I can't believe how great this info is!!:eek: I going to visit my man Charlie (the local GM parts guru) with a list this morning. After having my '71 for almost a week now (:D ) I have learned more from this site than every other source combined!

On a related question, I have learned that at least some parts were common for both the Nova and the early Camaro. Is there some book that gives a run-down on these common parts?

Thanks again Ed!!!!!!

Dave

Hey Dave,
Batman09 here.Where do you live in the bay area?I live in SF.There are about 25 members who live here in the bay area.Lets see a pic of your ride.bm

I just got back from my local GMC dealer. My man Charlie was knocked over when the part numbers came up as stock!! So I'll have a new front filler panel next Tuesday, straight from the Reno warehouse! He also loaned me his paper copies of "Models Through 1975 Chassis and Body Catalog" and the parts catalog that goes with it. Can't believe he still had those things.:D

Hey Batman, I'm in East Bay. I'll PM you. I'll see if I can figure out how to post pics.

Dave

I got the filler panel yesterday ( 3919083 front bumper filler 68-72 ) and sure enough it is not NOS. The staples in the box were still shiny copper. The plastic part is not absolutely perfect, but it is close enough for a non-show application.

This is a great thread!!

Dave

Has anybody seen this part from other vendors?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=4603121817&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT

AG,
To answer your Question I have not seen those Emblems.What would they have been on?Yenko 427 Nova's Had Chrome 427 Emblems and Seperate Yenko Badges Correct?
Joe

Joe
Not sure since they have the SS attached to the 427.........I was curious if they are being offered up by one of the vendors or even local GM parts depo (most times they are and considerable less than Ebay)

The only car that I know of that was really a factory SS427 was the Impala/Caprice full size cars..I think these may be off one of those cars...just a guess..

wilma:confused:

Wow,I was surprized by all the stuff for the 4th gens they have.

Ed thanks for the posting I'm new here and had an idea some parts were available but dealers will not do work to find out any of this it is a PITA if your not sure how to search the parts.My buddy works at a dealer and with the numbers you gave I've ordered a wack of parts and I'm north of the border.the motor muonts are outrageous like $250 each up here but I need it so I buy it.The other bonus they found the parts book for 69-76 Nova & the said I could have when they were done with it(1 year or so)pics are very helpful some even better then assembly manual.
Thanks Paul

Yeah the exploded drawings are so good in those parts books that I copied everything I could find. Much better than the Helms manuals which I also have.

Dave

Shawner where are you located in Ontario it is always good to have another link to GM
Paul

My buddy has 2 '69 Chevelles, one runs the other.... Anyway he got the front fenders from our local GM dealer. The price he paid was less than OPG and some of the other repo-part places. Sometimes ya gotta ask the parts guy if they can beat the others prices. Whats the worst they can say..... "no"

I have been trying to find factory replacement front coil springs for a 72 small block. you have any listings for that? Its a 72 Nova 350, auto, non A/C.
I have a freind that works for Chevy but he says he dont have books that far back. If I can get a part # to give him would be great
I tried the local parts houses but they cant tell me if what they have is for a SB or BB as it just lists as V8

Thanks
Wade

The spring # you need is 3955710 it is no longer avalible from GM. Ed

These may not be GM manufactured springs, but take a look at page 6-5...

Thanks
Wade

Did you call the folks at Eaton or just do the Web thing...call them and I think they will have what you need.

wilma:shh:

Hey Ed, i pm'd ya about a couple part numbers... if ya can help me, i'm thankin' ya :D

I bought headlight springs,sunvisor brackets and some clips from my local GM dealer.He still has the books and will look up anything!

Unfortunately, Charlie my local GMC parts guru got a promotion to another dealership in the chain. The guy who replaced him won't even talk to you if you don't give him a VIN. Jerk!!!:mad: Oh well...it was nice while it lasted.

Dave

I dont know if you would want to add it to the list :confused:
But I just bought the
strainer/sock for the pickup tube for my 72 Nova SS (3/8"s line)
at the Stealership (in fact that is the ONLY place that had one)
P/N: 5651702 (cost me nearly $20 with tax :rolleyes: )

I just bought z bar bushings [nylon inside] from the GM dealer in Guelph ,Ontario ,Canada

On a related question, I have learned that at least some parts were common for both the Nova and the early Camaro. Is there some book that gives a run-down on these common parts?


Hollander Interchange (http://www.hollander-auto-parts.com/products/prod_spec.html)

So far, I have purchased these GM parts for my '70 through a Pontiac dealer: Small block fan shroud, battery tray, battery holddown, L & R headlight bezels, cowl seal, 2 dash vents and trunk lid nameplate. I ordered 2 gas tank straps (3914867) but they seem to be unavailable.

BB motor mounts are no longer available part #3990918:(
The number should be 3962748.

Cancellation cam for signal switch is still available part#7812211 this is for tilt but I've been told tilt works with non tilt applications as well.

I just bought upper and lower short water pump deep groove pulley's for my SB. Part #'s 3770245(upper) 3858533(lower) cost me $95.00 for the pair.

I just ordered GM water pump pulley, 2 groove, part bumber 3995642 and harmonic balancer pulley, 2 groove, part number 3744043

The don't say they are for the Nova series, but should fit the SB with short water pump.

On my 1970, there is a small junction block on the passenger side of the core support. It is where the small lead from the positive battery cable and other wires connect. It is available from GM and the part # is 3919008.

I just bought the windshield washer jar for my 68.

PN 3840083 - list for $8.21; paid $6.16. Does not come with cap.

Also bought speedometer gears: 3987921 (21 teeth). Last two digits represent the number of teeth on the gear.

i called the dealer in town and the parts guy told me all the part numbers were labled GM restoration parts... so i assume ther just licenced repops?

still, the prices werent bad at all, i bought a bettery tray for $36 and new sill plates for $90

The GM tray looks way better and more acurately correct then a repop one I bought else where.

I just purchased a GM ignition lock cylinder for my 1970, part # 20071252. It comes with two GM keys.
The part lists for $32.82. If you can get a discount at your GM dealer, it sells for $22.97.

At the same time, I purchased these parts:
3840083 washer jar $6.16
3798372 washer jar cap $2.76 (had to buy 5, $13.80)
7728956/57 L&R sill plates $42.15 each

I asked the parts manager how it is possible to get parts for a 37 year old car? He said sometimes, as long as there is a demand, GM will continue to make parts.

Does anyone know the part # for the trunk lid bumpers?

Today I purchased from my Pontiac dealer:
upper control arm bumpers, GM part # 384220, $7.64 each.
lower control arm bumpers, GM part # 402410, $6.75 each.

This is the discount price, otherwise they are $10.19 and $9.00 each. They are correct for my 1970, but may fit other years. Check your assembly manual!

Where are you guys getting all of these GM parts????? I went to a GM dealer here in the Motor City and tried to order a big block radiator and a deep groove alt. pully for my 69 Nova the guy looked at me like I was a fence post.
Is it something im doing wrong or what. Can someone tell me where these parts are in the Motor City?????????????:confused: :confused: :confused:

I've also contacted my local GM dealership/service center. They can't pull up anything. Although they may just be too lazy to get off their damb butts to go pickup the catalogue.

I swear the one guy actually said that too me. That he would have to look it up in the books and he wasn't willing to.

If you go to WWW.GMPARTSDIRECT.COM , you can search the 'RESTORATION' area for parts. There is also a search where you can enter a part number, and see if it is available. I type in part numbers from my assembly manual to see if they are available.
As time goes by, some parts are becoming un-available.

You gotta be lucky enough to have a parts guy like my man Charlie who is really an old time parts guru. Otherwise you get some young punk who won't do anything withour a VIN. If you aren't so lucky, follow Dave's advice.

Bring the part # with you they want have to look it up.Most of them are here or one of us could probally find it for you.;)

Thanks Dave, I will give that a try. I think a lot of it is like topdogger LAZY plays a part.

Here's another...

P/N 5651702 = strainer/filter for fuel tank. This is the sock with the 3/8" slip-fit connector in the end.

I just purchased the GM outer door handles for my 1970, part #s 3064225,3064224. The passenger side (224)was a little tough to find. My dealer had to put it on a locator, and he was able to find one at another dealership in another state.
The chrome handles do not come with the push buttons or anything else attached. Modern Chevrolet (Classic Muscle) may be a good source.
http://www.oldmusclecars.com/

I stopped into my local GM Dealer here in Alberta Canada, (Ron Hodgson) he is a Drag Racer from way back. The parts guy was awsome ordered 3949790 Bezel RH $198.99 List - $167.50 Trade,
3949789 Bezel LH $198.99 List - $167.50 Trade,
3919083 Filer Panel $124.15 List - $104.50 Trade,
7728956/7 Front Sill Plates $124.74 List ea - $105.00 Trade.

He gave me the Trade price on everything and will let me sit down at his desk and go through the catalog to look up any parts to see whats available.

I am sure I am like a lot of guys ...looking for a Frt Bumper Filler Panel (NOS) for my 69. I know my original is plastic ..its cracked .
Is this panel available in metal? Is it possible to find NOS # 3919083

It is not available in metal, but is still carried by GM amazingly enough. Somewhere near the beginning of this thread I posted the PN for it. I think I paid about $35 from my local GM guy.

Dave

Thanks Dave I have my local GM Dealer searching it out .

That's because people don't even know what NOS stands for. New Old Stock means it's new and unused but it's also Old because it was made back when the car was originally built. A new, unused part that was recently made is OER (Original Equipment, Remanufactured).



Ok, I am going to say it, thank you for defining this for me. I AM new at this, I wanted to ask, but I also knew it was a retarded question. Thank you, cause I honestly didnt know.

Here is a dumb question as well, if I have a nova that is not stock, should I be to concerned with putting original parts on it, or go with my gut and just make it look nice to own? Cause I am going broke faster by the minute trying to get matching years, and every time I turn around, I find something else that doesn't match!!! Very confused and super stressed now!

I guess it all depends on what your goal is with your project, Sid3show. If you don't have a numbers matching car now, and that is your goal, yes it is going to be very very expensive and maybe impossible in the long run. If you want an original looking, but not "original" ride, that will cost less by using OER (what we call repop) stuff. If you just want a fun project with a cool car and are not concerned with originality then you can do whatever you want. That's what I really like about this hobby...there is room for everyone's project and they are all cool in their own way!:D

Hey! Its your car...your project...your own ideas about what you want to do...what could be better than that?:p

Dave

^^X2 I have one of each (#'s matching and Not matching) and the incorrectly numbered car is way more fun to drive,because the other one is still being restored and finding parts is one problem,then having to pay the premium for the correct dated part is even worse.If your not building it for an investment or it's not a rare low # car,then build it to drive and enjoy it!

Let me know what you guys need, I have some GM stuff laying around still in the packages.

sill plates, hood moldings, trim...etc

Paul

Thank you for some well absourb advice Bluesman, and taz3.

I want to have a car I can cruise in durning the spring and summer. I also just want to stand back and WOW, thats my car. I was concerned to much in making it original, I just want it to look nice. So I think I am going to go with my own ideas, and try to make her stand out! Thanks for your input, again, it was well absorb!:cool:

I do have a question for you guys that having been doing this for awhile... Is it possible to make the items for a 71/72 front grille,and trimmings to fit the front of a 74? I figured out how to bring both the front and back bumpers in to shorten the lenth of the car. It does have a fiberglass front bumper for a 72. Can these items fit or bolt right up? If they don't, would it be hard to do so. I love the longer doors on my 74, but the frontend of a 72 is wicked.

More importantly, would this be frowned upon? She is already a step child of several years...

Let me suggest that you start this as a thread in the 3rd or maybe 4th Generation forum. There are lots of guys there with this experience. They may never see your question here.

Thank you!

i tried to order the front bumper filler last week, my dealer said discontinued, are they wrong

The filler panel is still available. Ask for part number 3919083. List price is $86.08 GMpartsdirect price $52.82. Earl

GM parts availability and pricing, oddly enough, are often regional rather than national. If you can find something at your local GM parts place, try emailing or calling one in some distant state or on the other coast. Sometimes that will turn up stuff.

Yes they are wrong!:mad:

Any time you want old parts bring the part #'s most counter guys are too lazy to dig past the first screen in the computors.They're not all like this,but they will look up a # for you easier than hunting the # and part.

Sad but true and Paul is correct. Once you do find a counterman who will work with you treat him like gold. They are getting scarcer and scarcer. That's what makes this thread so valuable!!

If you guys need Nova part numbers, feel free to ask. I have the assembly manuals on microfiche as well as the parts books from 62-79. May take me a day or 2, but I should be able to get numbers for you and tell you availability on pretty well anything.

Hey Carl, can you get me the correct placement for the SS emblems, on my 73 SS? Both fender and trunk, pretty please?:D

Just picked up a stock clutch fork last month:D

I made a note and will try to look in the next day or two. I am out for most of tomorrow evening, so it may be Tuesday evening. Kinda late now to dig out the fiche tonight!

Thanks Carl!

Anymore part # lists? I am saving them to disk.

I just purchased a GM fan switch for my 1970 from Classic Industries. The CI part # is G8128, and it cost $25.99. The GM part # on the box is 6273385 and is still available from a GM dealer for about $24.30. If you get a discount, it may be closer to $20.00.
The original part # for this switch in my assembly manual is 3929094, but it probably was changed to 6273385. The new switch looks identical to the 39 year old switch.
