My 1970 Slow Poke Nova Build

Casey Miles · 09-26-2019, 02:50 PM

If you're going to put on an exhaust system, on my 1969 Camaro Z/28 I have a 2.5 inch flowmasters with electric cut outs. The car will run only .15 to .18 slower through the mufflers rather than open headers and they are pretty quiet. Just a recommendation from experience. What I do is run the car with open cutouts, qualify with that number, make a pass with mufflers and dial the car through the mufflers.

Here's an update on my Nova Build. This is actually part 2 of the rear end video. This one discusses axles. You might find the tech interesting.

While working in the shop (and in this case, on my sleepy little Nova project) I regularly stumble into "problems". So I have to come up with "solutions"....L-O-L. And some of those solutions turn out to be good old-fashioned garage hacks. I compiled six of them in video format that actually worked pretty well. They're certainly not fancy and they're sure not expensive. Check 'em out (click to view):
