Dave's Nova Site
Nova References & Info

Welcome to my Nova References & Info Page

I have come across some GREAT Sites & Links for References, or Information Sources and stuff on Formulas, Calculations, and many How-To Pages and Helpful Guides. I have posted them here, so scroll down the page, HELP AWAITS!!

This page is not just for ChevyII/Nova's either, I'm sure alot of these links can be VERY HELPFUL & USEFUL to any car enthusiast !!

There is a ton of knowledgable people regarding various 'Upgrading' or 'Replacement' ways of working on Chevy II/Nova's, as well as other models of cars. If you find someone's information useful, please send them an email and thank'em! These guys have taken alot of time to document and write up the information for others to use. Plus, it's always nice to receive a Thank You every now and then :).

I've started to add a few of my own 'helpful' pages below, which will include some basic helpful information/diagrams/charts which may be useful to some of you ...

Each Link/Site will open into a new window for you.

Novaboy-73's 'Own' Helpful Pages of Misc Information

The following is some of the information that I had to dig up out of the service manual, when I've had to work on my nova/omega. Figured it might come in handy for other x-body enthusiasts as well!

Clicking on SOME of the diagrams/charts will bring them up in a NEW window in a bigger size or RIGHT-CLICK and 'SAVE TARGET AS ...' to save it to your system or print them out.

Some may find the 'Miscellaneous Parts Information' page handy, as I have listed some parts with Part Numbers, Brand/Make and where I found them ... and even tried to remember the cost of them.

Hopefully some of this info may be useful to you. Some information has been taken from the Service Manual for 73 Chevrolet Chevelle/Camaro/Monte Carlo/Nova/Corvette. If you need some info and are unable to find it, send me an email and I'll see what I can dig up for you.
