I was thinking about 6 inches ahead of the axle on the inner frame rail and then running the line of the sub frame connectos to the engine bay. Is this correct? I wo...

I used NPD for a few things over the years. They seem like a fairly decent company with quality parts. I would use them again for sure.

I run the MT 275/60-15's on my 71 Nova. We have been 1.34 60's on the MT's. For our setup, we found that 17lbs worked best for us.

I have a 71 Nova and I have run both tire sizes you mentioned. I have relocated the shocks to the inside of the springs and massaged the inner wheelwells a little bit. I run a 15x8 wheel with 5.5BS.

Call Calvert and talk to them about it. Every time I've ever called them, they were more than helpful. What your describing does not sound right. I know mine were not like that and they fit in like a dream. I didn't have to force anything. Like John said, I suspect they will bind up if you leave the...

Great looking Nova for sure! I love the look of the Yenko cars and the clone paint scheme looks great for racecars.

The guy at the speed shop is trying to pull a fast one on you. There is no reason in the world that you cannot mix nitrous vendors. The engine couldn't give a crap what the sticker on the solenoids says. I will say that I use a Cold Fusion fogger and I've been very happy with it. I will most likely...

Thanks for the input guys. The garage is insulated well. I've been heating it just fine with a 30,000 btu portable propane heater. From what I can tell, I can't buy a unit heater here either but I will either order one mailorder or have a buddy that works in HVAC get it for me. Anyone know anything ...

Garage heaters

So both my portable propane garage heaters took a dump today... long story. But I digress, I'm sick of having to refill bottles and light them every time I want to be in the garage. I want to bite the bullet and put in one of those hanging heaters that use natural gas and thermostat. Who makes the b...

I got to be honest here, I don't really see how Shafiroff is to blame here. If it did not leak on the dyno, how could they have ever known there was a problem? World products made and machined the block. It seems like the problem is with them. If Shafiroff is able to work something out with World pr...

What exactly are you asking here? You asked the same question last week. Are you looking to buy some traction bars used from members on the board or are you asking what kind of traction bars are available to be purchased new???
