K149
K=November
14=14th day
1-1971

C= Buffalo Assembly plant

BS= 4.10 ratio
112= 112th day of the year
G=Detroit Gear & Axle
1=first shift
E= Eaton Posi traction unit

The 3969341NF keeps coming up as correct for 71 Camaro SS & Z28 or Nova SS
This is a HP unit for sure!

Someone know more! And someone is looking for one of these! If this is correct!

71 camaro rear and 71 nova rear do not interchange because the 71 camaro 12 bolt rear width is about 2 inches wider than the 71 nova 12 bolt rear...

12 bolt axle..

CBS tube stamp is a one year only code....1970 model year Nova 12 bolt.....3.31 posi.

Date stamp on the casting is 11/14/69 casting number is correct for 1970 12 bolt..

Axle tube stamp is 11/24/69

These dates make sense for that time frame...

Chevy added the "C" to the beginning of the tube stampings for 1970....the "C" is often slightly offset or positioned a little to the left of the "BS" part of the stamp...in prior years the code would have just been"BS".

This axle code would have most likely been in an L-34 BB or a SB Super Sport car.

There was no 12-bolt available in teh 1971 Camaro. 1970 was the last year of a 12-bolt in a Camaro.

^^^ I totally agree. The C prefix gives this away as a 1970 rear. CBS was not a Camaro code but was a code for Novas (3.31 posi). That rear was standard in a 1970 Nova SS with either an L48 350 4-speed or an L34 396 with a manual trans (3 or 4 speed).
