brakes 
who needs brakes?
cut some holes in the floor so you can use your feet to stop it! :devil:
^^^^ I can vouch for that one!!!Rust in the bay area is probably typical, especially if the car has been very close to the ocean for extended periods of time.
Yeah, I am considering just running the 6. I used to have a 73 Mustang with a 250, and before I got rid of it I had all sorts of plans for dual-outlet headers, cam, etc. The mustang was a stick though, and the Nova is an Automatic, so I'm worried that robs a bunch of power.
At least I took off the belt for the air pump last night. That should help. I'm gonna do a full tune up on it, possibly this weekend. These cars have points right? How about a conversion to a more modern setup? This was one of the things I was planning to do to my mustang.
Here's a couple horsepower waiting to be unclogged... any suggestions for a louder but not obnoxious muffler?
I have a Raptor muffler on mine and it sounds pretty good. For the record, I too have a '74 more door with the I-6.![]()
