Chevy Nova

The length of the 1969 stock Chevy Nova rear end is sixty and 1/4 inches at its widest point. This includes the width of the rear hubs.

Take the crank to a machine shop and have the main journals turned to accept 350 bearings. Might be a good idea to have it balanced while it's there.

Ok. First off, you should use a good bar, like Lakewood, or competition engineering, that uses a "J" bolt type of design. Not just bolts to the spring perch, which do nothing at all. Ok, in theory, the right side should have a slightly larger gap between the rubber snubber, and the spring, as it is the torque side, and by the time the left side, (drivers) catches up, both bars hit at ther same time, thus launching the car straight. Now, in real world, If I am going the traction bar route, I put wedges in them to put the snubber up tight agsainst the spring. Less reaction time, and less shock to the axels when they hit. I then leave the rear, and on the the rear, U bolts off. Do not use an air shock with these, either. This is the best settup for drag racing.

i have a 87 nova it has a 13 gallon

I've seen a 572 fit into one with no modification to the existing fenders or hood 502 Big Block

inside the alternator.

Depends on the use but bigger is always better. A 12 bolt is the best for racing and is the strongest but a 8.5" 10 bolt will just about hold up as well.

depends on how much power and what you want as far as the ratios i have a 74 nova with a mildly built 350 and have 350 turbo trans with a shift kit wrks just fine for me

If off a transmission, then it is for a Borg Warner Super T-10 transmission with an aluminum case. The gear ratios can be determined by the number of grooves in the input shaft. 2 grooves equals a "close-ratio" design (2.43 first gear) and 3 grooves equals a "wide ratio" design (2.64 first gear). Although it is a Super T-10, the aluminum cases are not as relaible or strong as the nodular iron case.

Yes you can but it involves shaping the arches of the car around the 24 inch rims.

Nope, but you need to have a line going to your charcoal canister, PCV, EGR (from carb to temp valve, and then to EGR), heat riser, brake booster, distributor (vacuum advance), vent/heater "black ball", and possibly transmission if you have an automatic. Most all of those are full vacuum so any manifold or carb base port would work.

From the factory the nova had 14" rims but a 15" rim will fit with no problem.

Moisture or coolant has contaminated the oil. Drain and replace the oil/filter and run a compression test. You may have a blown head gasket.

Quite simply, I have found that a ball joint fork, a good hammer, and a torch to heat it always does the job. Just be careful of the spring when taking it off the control arm.

on either side of the spare area cover there are metal plates which are easily removed i had a 1973 hatchback and there was enough room for a 6x9 speaker to fit into those panels the cargo floor also provided a storage place for my amp. hidden from site

This urban legend is often taught in marketing classes. In truth, however, the Chevy Nova sold perfectly well in Latin America. The legend says that the car sold poorly because the word "Nova" is similar to the phrase "no va" which translates to "doesn't go." There was no confusion, however, as the pronunciation of the two phrases is different, "Nova" having the accent on the first part of the word and the phrase "no va" having the accent on the second word. Snopes.com uses the example of selling a dinette set set in the US called "Notable" wouldn't suggest to consumers that there is "no table" in the set. There was, and still is a gasoline sold in Mexico under the trade name Nova. Further information can be found at www.snopes.com.

Pull upward on the hose that the PCV valve is in. The PCV valve will pull out of the hose. The PCV valve is located in the valve cover.

The voltage regulator is built into the back of the alternator. It can be changed if you are able purchase one through a automotive electrical rebuilding shop. Most places just want to sell you a complete alternator.

you simply GET A MECHANIC!!

.045 is a good place to start with HEI.

Yes - the 68-72 Nova hoods, door skins, fenders, quarters fit 73 and 74. The only difference is the front clip (grill, lights, bumpers, front windows).

first how long is your town ? where your alternator came from was alot farther. import parts are over priced and supply is not cost effective so if I HAD TO GIVE YOU A PRICE 220.00 IS FAIR MARKET VALUE. i found these prices at www.autozone.com Item Part No. Warranty Core Value Unit Price Availability Store Web DURALAST-IMPORT 60 AMP 14671 LLT $55.00 $134.99 PREMIUM QUALITY REMAN, SOME NEW COMPONENTS VALUCRAFT_IMPORT 60 AMP VC14671 1 YR $55.00 $119.99 REMANUFACTURED UNIT BECK_ARNLEY 186-0315 3 MO $25.00 $149.99 SERPENTINE 5 GROOVE;NIPPONDENSO SYSTEM;60 AMPERES 1 PER CAR
