73 Nova... Body by Fisher Tag numbers?johnh 19th-January-2008, 06:08 PM http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc286/johnh_013/Tag.jpg Where can i break the code to learn more about these numbers?:confused: Thanks john h johnh 19th-January-2008, 06:17 PM Found it.....:sleep: http://www.novaresource.org/c73.htm patman 19th-January-2008, 07:16 PM If that's the tag for your car...ya prolly didn't want to take that off. A re-riveted cowl tag will (should) set off alarm bells for any buyer of the car, implying it's been swapped. YMMV... johnh 19th-January-2008, 07:21 PM It was taken off and screwed back on before i got it...... i can only assume its the real one....the car does have yellow still showing in areas........ What is YMMV... Ray_McAvoy 19th-January-2008, 11:00 PM I'm not sure when GM made the change, but screws are the original attachment method used on the "newer" Nova cowl tags. All the Novas in the 73 to 79 year range that I've dealt with have had the cowl tags attached with screws. They've all been the same style of screw too ... a combination 1/4" hex and phillips head with a built-in washer flange. kayelbe 20th-January-2008, 06:24 AM add mine to that list....74 with screws, not rivets. bucks73 20th-January-2008, 08:42 AM mines screwed on also patman 20th-January-2008, 09:20 AM Cool...learned something new! sthole 20th-January-2008, 03:23 PM I'm not sure when GM made the change, but screws are the original attachment method used on the "newer" Nova cowl tags.

It's not like the earlier Novas that have different stampings for SS. From 68 on, it's a 4, 6, or 8 cyl only - nothing else as far as drivetrain. I wish it did tell more - like patman's 64 - the tag shows it is a SS. Without a build sheet or the matching drivetrain, I can't tell much about my 70. Both my 73s had screws as did my 73 Camaro. My 70 has rivets. -Dan sthole 21st-January-2008, 06:05 PM http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e334/sthole/rivet.jpg |
