You guys are gonna have a nice car. Can't hurt to take a breather. Making a car right isn't easy. Autumn, you are learning a LOT. Todd, this thread is showing what's involved in building a nice car. I would venture to guess that most casual onlookers will learn a lot from your well very documented experience. |

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Just my two cents......
You might consider upgrading with an Adapt-A-Cap from MSD. This type cap increases the spacing between the spark plugs contacts inside the cap and helps prevent misfires.. While you are at it drill a 7/16 hole in the cap midway between #1 spark plug and the coil terminal to correct the rotor phasing. Make sure you get the set with the adjustable rotor to correct phasing after you time it. Have fun...

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
It has strange fronts, I thought about putting a set of discs on the rear but just not sure if it's necessary.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Anyone have any real performance advantage data from the brake swap weight savings?

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
we just recently swapped from drum to aerospace rear disk on our amx weight savings was 30lbs total about 20 of which was rotating i can't give any real performance data we changed engines too part of the winter upgrades. But that's roughly the weight savings.
