Dave 67 Nova Boy </div></div> Decided not to. I'll save the $500. I'll hit the chassis dyno to dial it in. I'm told the 530 mark should be an honest number |

I've kept hammering away at the Nova this weekend.
Scuffed and repainted the engine............ http://i1043.photobucket.com/albums/...psvvbvcnhc.jpg http://i1043.photobucket.com/albums/...pszfdwwbe8.jpg Installed the gauges in the radio delete panel http://i1043.photobucket.com/albums/...pstdrxci8w.jpg Installed a different master cylinder, adjustable proportioning valve, and ran new brake lines..... http://i1043.photobucket.com/albums/...pspjp5owfa.jpg Did the final install in the new clutch master and linkage......... http://i1043.photobucket.com/albums/...pse97e2dyt.jpg Just gotta tidy up some wiring and wait for the headers and misc parts to comeback from the powdercoater. |

Re: Tim Schuetz;s (NAPA68) not so stock 1967 Nova!
Was just reading up on your recent changes to the car Tim. Just curious but what oil pump you were running? A lot of guys run high volume high pressure pumps and they are very hard on bronze distributor gears. I just ordered a new billet roller cam for a build I am doing right now and have been warned by a few friends to run a normal oil pump with standard volume and pressure. That alone is supposed to really help limit the wear on the bronze dist gear. I guess I'll know when I start changing the oil a few times. Motor is finished up this week and can't wait to run it. Gonna order up one of the Mac's Tilters.
Looks like your having fun anyways! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] |

It's just what the engine builder prefers for this type of application. I did speak about the whole pump versus gear discussion. In short, he asked me if I'd rather change a dizzy gear as opposed to a cam. No real good way around it. Certainly, big valve springs do not help matters......... We will see. Should have it running in a few weeks or sooner! |
