Bill, I have followed your build from the beginning and the car looks fantastic. I certainly have gained an appreciation for Novas that I never had beforehand and your attention to detail is amazing. Nice work and hopefully you pick up another project once your garage has been taken care of, as I'm sure there are many like me, eager to do it all again!

Hi Bill,

"Sick of looking at her" NOT.

Impossible, this is like Baywatch without David Hasselhof.

B-E-A-utiful.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Bill Rose</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I wound up replacing the regulator. I put one of the ground wires on the reg, and it worked briefly. Then quit completely and it was a Delco regulator. I replaced it with a Standard brand, and grounded it like the Delco. So far the Standard one is good.

The Delco reg was all over the place. Sometimes it was charging 16 volts and then a min later it was doing nothing. Then back to 15....etc

...and yes, the other ground I put on the horn relay screw. </div></div>

Crazy stuff eh? Dive you nutz in a hurry. Hope the Delco cover fit ok, I know some of the Std are rivited on. Car looks great, love the stance with the wider tires.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

Bill, you've done a great job. From the wheel/tire discussions on some other threads ir looks like you seettled on the 14&quot; M&amp;Hs. I think Nova's look great with 14&quot; wheels all around. How arw you feeling about running 15s up front and 14s in back?
