I remember back around '75 or so, some local guys built a straight six Chevelle with a Glide. I think it was either a '66 or '67. They were still running off national records at our track, I think. Anyhow, somebody running that same combo, bombed the record at some big race. So after that, the local Chevelle lost its advantage. So they quit racing it shortly.
It may have been a HP hit, instead of the lower record, that made the Chevelle uncompetitive. Who knows exactly when NHRA switched from records to the index system ? ![]() I've read that it was started in 1975. But I don't know if that included the entire year or if it was switched over sometime during the season. Last edited by oldskool; 01-12-2015 at 06:58 PM. |

The only other thing I remember about it was that it had big A-1 Trans decals on it. So I assume they were running an A-1 converter. I think they were #1 at the time. So that brings up another question. What are the top brands of converters that most Stockers run today ? ![]() |

What brand of converter is about like what oil... what ever the person is running is the best in their eyes!

If you are looking at the 1975 Nova, over looked possibility is the 262 v8 2 barrel. Same engine that came in the 175/76 Monza.

76 had the bigger one, but no 262 in Novas. I'd go with the 305 in T/Stick !
