I'll wager that if you posted the numbers you would get faster results.

The rear in my 72 doesn't match the charts at NovaResourse either. But who knows if it was swapped since 1972 or if the wrong code was stamped. Also make sure it really is "PS" and not "BS" (which IS a 12-bolt). Also, what year car is it in?

Dan (many possibilities)

Well it definately says "PS". Its in a '69 nova which I'm sure it didn't come in. The car was originally a 307 car.
