Would anyone know if my 78 SLE is a 310 pack?
The painted compliance plate only says:
L31 for engine
M41 for transmission
G70 for transaxle.

VIN is 8X69TJH9727938
Also, Chassis No ends with 0000738S, is this the production number?

I can’t find any other codes. Any help would be appreciated.

Thnx. Frank.

Where would I find all the codes for those extras? It’s nowhere on my Build plate, and I do have rear Speakers. Also, how does one know if it’s a Turbo 350 or 400?

Thnx.

G80 was not standard on 310 (or any V8) VB Commodore
it was an option.. as I found out when I ordered my first Commodore GMH company car
... a 308 pack VB SL/E, it had to be added as an option

On the car build sheet if you have it/find it under carpet and also visible on your car if they are fitted. You would know if it has a lsd diff @ 2 black rear tyre marks on road.

308's were fitted with either turbo hydromatic, the 253's had the trimatic, simple way is shape and number of bolts in the lower trans cover apart from many other things.
