Just a thought on the white one, could you switch it to run E85? That might be something to think about. I only know E85 is a higher octane fuel though so I could be sending you on a goose chase.

Glad to see you're having fun and making progress. Novas need more attention.

My 68.




Mine is 11.5 to 1 with a 600 lift roller so I can get by with 110 and some pump gas, but I agree, still expensive to burn...
Can't wait to see more pics of the Red car!! Get crackin'!!

Nice collection of Novas. This car has a sweet parts list & the white/blk vinyl top car looks OE great!

What accessory bracket set are you using on your 427? Looks like 88-93 GM sbc serp brackets.
