RE: [Chevelle-List] GM Strike
That is correct, my 70 El Camino has a block, casting date Oct. 8, 1969, 396/402, heads (390) casting dates Jan. 16, 21, 1970, intake manifoldcast date ofSept. 7, 1979 and a block build date of Jan. 23, 1970 @ Tonawanda. The early cast date and late head date could also be caused by the rush to build 454's which also used the (390) head on theLS5.The changeover for the 69/70 model year is FULL of theseABNORMALTIES, due to the strike and LONG 69 model run. Transmissions dates by MUNCIE for the 70 model year should all be 661 case's and this is not true around Dec., Jan. of 1970, many 660 cases were still used due to the slowdown of production on vehicles!!

RE: [Chevelle-List] GM Strike
Title: Message What brought the question up in my mind was I have a P-O-P for a 70 Chevelle that shows the engine and rear end built in October, the transmission in January but the car now being assembled until March. I just figured that's quite a difference in timefor the components - 5 months in the case of the engine and rear end. However, the major strike (by local 95) wasn't until later that year in September. Maybe it's just a fluke? BTW, I want to thank all that have contributed photos of trim tags and P-O-Ps so far for a new, upcoming Chevelle information site. Still missing some years, so any donations welcome!

Re: [Chevelle-List] GM Strike
dale: in the summer of 1969 they went on strike. it was during the model change over. not sure about chevelle but Camaro had a new body style coming out and because the change over hadn't happened they kept making the 69. the 69 Camaro was made until DEC 1969. the new Camaro was then called a 70 1/2 and showed up in Feb of 70. i have heard of many 70 models (GMs) having parts made 4 or 5 months before assembly. also has anyone ever seen a chevelle from 68 I believe with BOP interior? Seems there was a shortage at some chevelle plants and instead of stopping production they used bop interior packages. Larry (z)
