   Hello John and digesti,
  
     I guess I should have said "a few" instead of
"many".  The first one that comes to mind is the
Centerline catalog.  In the front you will find a kind
of decoder which is supposed to help you ID your car.

 I have seen this list in other places on the web. 
I'll never remember where right now, but I saw it
enough times to make me wonder what was going on with
the .70 designation. 

  I was hoping that the Balocco owners would rise up
and confirm or debunk this designation. 

             Thank you for your response,
 
                         Mark Mucciacciaro
