  1. Steering, Suspension, and Chassis
    I am looking to replace the steering box in my 1970 Nova with a Jeep Grand Cherokee steering box. In the process I figure I may as well replace the pitman arm. Looking at all the websites they list the correct steering arm for third gen Novas as Moog k6582... if you had a V8 stock. My car had a...
  2. Drivetrain & Performance
    I've been trying to read through the post on vacuum ports and I have to say that I'm very confused!! I think this is a simple question/answer though. I have an HEI on an inline six with a 1bbl carb/Rochester. The HEI has a port/canister and the carb has a port. I currently have a hose from...

  5. Steering, Suspension, and Chassis
    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...

    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...
  7. 4th Generation Nova's
    Wassup y’all (new to Novas, carbs, and the site itself, big thank you for letting me in) I’m having problems with my 77 Nova concours, long story short it has a Rochester Qjet 1bbl electric choke and just recently I replaced the fast idle screw since every time I hit the throttle it cuts off. I...
  8. Body and Interior
    Hey guys this is more of a curiosity question but I’m just wondering why are there two colors of the 1st gen shield l6 fender emblems, was it that the red ones were for the nova 400 and the black ones were for the other models

    My 1963 Nova was shooting out oil of the dipstick and PCV breathers, & drove it like this for 2 years until I did a compression test and was between 70-100 on all the cylinders. Rebuild Time. This all started 2 years ago so if you want to see part one that led up to this check out here...

  13. 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...

    Hey I need help finding out what is the problem with my inline 6, I know it over heats A LOT! and once Ive ran it for a good while (5 min down the road) I hear this boiling noise near the head? I need help figuring what this is and also smoke comes out where the firewall and the engine meet
  15. Drivetrain & Performance
    In my 71 nova I have pulled the inline 6 out and placed the 327 in and bolted it up. What I am having problems with is the accessories. Power steering pump, alternator, will they work for the 327? And if they will which mounting brackets do I need? It's the long shaft power steering pump. Also...

    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 ?
  17. Chevy II/Nova/Acadian's
    Hi, I've just learned that my nova is in fact the spirit of America edition. How valuable might this car be? Is it valuable as having an SS for example??

    I've been away from this site for sometime (haven't logged on since last year lol) and I've just learned that my nova MAY be the bicentennial Spirit of America edition. This was previously owned by my grandfather and has since, passed away. It has been sitting in the garage for quite sometime...

    I'm having problems with my fan in my 62 nova sedan L6, I bought a knew radiator cause it was leaking and come to find out at one time or another the fan actually hit the radiator, (there were fan blade circles on the old leaky radiator). I think the person who owned the car before me put in...
