Get a heavier duty rearend. the tow capacity is based on the rearend. Chevy 10, 12, and 14 bolt rearend.

The 1970 Chevrolet Nova typically came with a variety of rearend options depending on the engine and trim level. Most base models featured a standard 10-bolt rear axle, while higher-performance versions, like those with the SS package, often had a stronger 12-bolt rear axle. The gear ratios varied, with options ranging from 2.56:1 to 4.10:1, depending on the engine choice and performance package.
