http://www.esnips.com/nsdoc/ecc545c5-0aff-4645-98be-38846ed2acccThis is the hybrid I'd been talking about: 1973 Nova with 10 bolt...8.5"......3:73's and shoehorned 1970...10.75 to 1 bored...

Some friends of mine use Pertronix (5000+ RPM) and have had NO problems at all!! But, and I mean there is exceptions, there's also a guy I know that cannot get them to quit cutting out above 6...

Thanks guy!!
I definitely am using the vaccuum advance, I'm a firm believer that it's a plus for street driving!! My base timing is @ 9 to 10 degrees (I believe it's 10 right now) and THAT's what it...

Hi again,
I have just replaced my spark plugs, but only this time; I used NEW sparkplugs from the 75' 455 that I changed distributors with! I had a 70' style distrib. (points) before and I got...

Good Luck, dude!

You cannot improve the body..............it's already perfect!!!

The only thing I was impressed with was the upholstery!! Other than that, it was just another "pimped out" ride!!

Are you looking to get a title for your classic or antique? I DO have an address of a company that does that sort of thing, but your ride needs to be a certain age and CANNOT be a salvage titled car...

I am almost done!! I took it out fer a spin the other day and found out quickly that I'll have to have my anti-hop bars and frame connectors installed before ANY SERIOUS lead footin'!!! It laid marks...

Sounds like a real nice ride!! Hope it turns out well for you and they don't keep you waiting TOO long!!
Send us some pics when you can, ok? I Love those older Buicks better than what I...

Welcome to the site!!
What a DEAL!! I am impressed and envious!!
Have a GREAT Trip and happy cruising!!!!!!!!

:thumbsup: Yeah, I'll try that! My son lives in Springfield, Mo. and I know where the airports are so.........................I'll just have to take my...

Thanks Bob! The only problem I see is that the nearest airport on the map was 65 miles from me and I can drive 12 to buy the blue stuff (roundy-round gas) or 94 octane 7 miles away!
I really...

We sewed up all the loose ends this eve. (04/24/06) and I took my Nova/Buick 455 for a short spin!
First of all I have to explain that when I had the 283 in her I pumped 87 Octane in the ol' tank (I...

:bana: At the car club Monday night, we installed it permanently!! I actually have more room than I thought I would. Changing out the Buick U joints for the Buick/Chevy joint was quite a chore ( had...

We, at the car club, installed my 455 complete (welding in frame mounts and etc.) this evening. We cut the driveshaft down 1 1/2" and now all I have to do is buy Buick to Chevy Uni-joints to install...

Shock towers weren't a problem! Did you say you're installing a 400? I don't really know the dimensions of a 400, but the 455 in the Nova's NOT going to be as hard as having to switch to a Stang II...

Yep, we are mocking it up to get the best clearances because the ol' Nova isn't exactly a Skylark, LOL!!!!!!!!!! It really looked like it was gonna go right in, but............stock mounts just not...

I DID take the solid mounts off of my wrecked Skylark and have still got the original "new" mounts on block!! I'm setting it in the mounts next week and recutting a new driveshaft for it. Because of...

I don't know if this will help in your case, but I'm putting a 455 in a Chevy Nova and I am using the motor mounts from the Skylark I got it out of so I'll have better mounts to handle the torque!...

I got the 455 into the 73' Nova and have run into a small but significant problem, My stock exhaust hits the steering box on the Nova. Is there a trick or special fix for areas like this or will I...

Mine will be the 10:75 to 1 1970 Electra 225 engine (slight mods; block, heads reworked, port matched exhaust sides, etc.) w/10 bolt 3:46 posi and will naturally be the quicker................. but...
