    Yea all seems to be sorted now will. I rejetted and balanced them and with the new distributor it drives much better i just don't get the time to use the car anymore I have done about 5 miles since retro rides on the 18th of August. Seriously thinking about selling now.

    update time.

    after deciding to keep the nova, i needed to change things again to keep me interested,and i have decided to head over to the big block side again and fit a let to the old girl
    its something i have wanted to do for years.so a plan was hatched and a turbo engine was bought and i sold my old engine.






    i was lucky to be able to use my ramp at work to remove the engine make a nice change to work on the nova and not vauxhall vans
    i even made the most of the recovery truck to drop the car off at home


    poor old girl wondering what i have install for it


    and thats where i got to so far just got to source a strengthening kit and get my mate to stitch weld and plate the engine bay.
