    I know that GM wasn't too good at identifying the exact engines in the cars, but does anyone know how many options were available for the 1965 Wagon - Chevy II 400 L6. (Was the wagon the same as the sedan in that it COULD be the 194, 230 or 250 ?) Thanks! BC
  2. Drivetrain & Performance
    Hey everybody, so the engine died cruising along the highway, I pulled the valve cover off and none of the valves move at all when spinning the engine over. I'm thinking something like the camshaft broke. I did a partial rebuild of the engine before this happened so it sucks but I was wondering...

    Hi Nova-community, I've seen some older posts about this but I'm wondering if there are any updates. I have a first-gen 62 Chevy II. I'm replacing the front clip with a Heidt's Mustang II kit. I love the way 6 cylinder motors sound with a dual exhaust and so my plan is to replace the...
  5. Electrical
    Hey guys so I have a 72 250 inline 6 and I am trying to replace the ignition coil but so far have tried 2 and neither worked. The old one works fine for the most part but every once in a while it’ll start to miss and it’s the only thing in the ignition system that I haven’t replace recently. The...

    Hey guys. I’m new to the site and can’t seem to get help anywhere. I’ve got a 67 nova with the factory 194 six cylinder. It’s been rebuilt with a good size cam, HEI conversion from a square body, and a dual Weber kit from Clifford performance. I’ve drove it before and it wasn’t perfect but it...
  7. Parts for Chevy II/Nova/Acadian
    Currently looking for the approximate values of the following two items: 1) 250 cid, 6-cylinder engine. 19,5xx original miles. 100% complete, and original as far as I know (?). Pulled from the car and bolted to the stand, that's it (yes, it could use a cleaning). Turns over...

    Hello everone! My name is Ricky Im 24 years old and i never knew how cool the nova is until I saw the movie death proof. Instantly, the nova was the baddest car on the block for me. I love collecting and repairing vintage vehicles! One day, a fellow passed by me in a 1974 pontiac ventura sprint...
  9. Drivetrain & Performance
    Hey all, I have a 250 in my '74 Olds Omega, and it seems the plastic cam sprocket has given up the ghost. Now that it's time to replace the gearset (motor only has 90,000 miles on it), it seems that I have to press the new cam gear only the camshaft. Question: Does the camshaft need to be...

    Does anyone have anything good or bad to say about the inline 6 HEI's sold on e-bay ? Looks like I can get one for about $75 shipped to my door. That's only a good deal if its not a P.O.S. though. Anyone bought one ?

    I currently have a stock 250 L6 and want to throw on some headers, an offy 4bbl intake, and a carb. I have heard the 390 Holley is best, but what model number carb works best for this application?
  15. Originality
    Hello Everybody, I am having trouble with the original carb on my 1972 inline 250. The car was originally equipped with the model #7042984 Monojet for California cars in 1972. I can not locate an exact replacement. Anyone got one for sale? I see a model #7042014 that was the Monojet for...
