the shop that back halved the car did a good job I suppose, I havent touched the suspension. I did read earlier that a anti-roll has absolutly no effect on a ladder bar car so I guess I spent the money for no reason. Is there a suspension guide for dummys availible? :lol: I have no clue on how to pl...

my nova has ladderbars, cheap coilovers and cheap 90/10 shocks up front. The front is loose as a goose to help transfer weight. Right now I havent touched the suspension in 2 years (since back halving the car). It hooks good with a 1.30 60 ft and goes straight. Question is... What kind of adjustment...

Intrested in a narrowed 12 bolt? I have a narrowed gm housing, with 411 gears and a spool complete with coil over shocks and brakes for about $1000.00. WE pulled it out of a nova to use a 4 link. Its all still connected to partial frame rails.

slightly off topic question...
On a race car using a transbrake or 2-step, How would you benefit from locked out timing?
With light springs the timing would be in around 1500 rpms. Ive ran mine both ways and cant tell any difference.

yep. that would have effected sales

by the way, we have broken 2 flywheels when the motor kicks back. I took my dist. apart and put the flyweights and lightest springs back in untill I can get a start retard. On the transbrake my timing will already all be in.

oh boy... I just spoke with msd yesterday concerning the same problem. Im using a multi-stage retard, billet dist with locked out timing and a 6al box. My multi stage box does have a start retard function that is connected but doesnt seem to make much difference. The small print says the start retar...

thanks again, tony

heres a pic of my partners nova. We arny quite done with it but its gonna be a 5.0-5.30 car.

changing my name to bondo bucket. Thanks guys, tony

just got my car back today and glad to have some paint on her.

I ran into the problem of hard starting. With my msd digital multi retard box with a start retard, The start retard only works with a distributer that is not locked. Most are this way from msd. They make a stand alone start retard for locked out distributers for about $175.00. not sure if I helped.....

awile back while running alcohol, I ran a electric pump. seemed to work fine.

I spoke with Howards and they are scratching their heads also. The car is in the pain shop so I cant get my hands on it for another week or so. I readjusted the valves and loaded it onto the trailor to take to paint. Before I got it off the trailor I dropped a cylinder. Si when its back home I will ...
