Very true, but I don't like what's on there now and want a more correct
Shock set up. I know you have some goodies over there.

maybe try a set of Delco (red) replacement shocks. maybe find a pair that is dated around 1972-73 because that is about the time most people probably would have replaced the originals. Now you will be dialed in Rob. Type in Delco Big D shocks on Ebay. They are dated so look at the listings. Got a real nice NOS set of them on my nova.

If you are running stock suspension set up, you cannot do better than the vintage style Koni adjustables.

hi rob

i just got back from carlisle last night, and there is an older gentleman right between gate #2 and #3 front row that sells only vintage nos shocks
he is older and going out of business/ had enough and wanting to sell off everything
i bought for my duece a pair of nos gm front and back spiral shocks still in the boxes/ with original paperwork still for an EXCELLENT price
he had a large stock of shocks...if you know anyone that is going to carlisle i am positive you will get front and rear gm nos shocks that are exact replacements
hope this helps
regards

Thanks for info Chris, I will try and find someone going there. That would be a great find for the nova. Thanks again.

hi

did not know if you had managed to get some one down to carlisle and get the shocks you needed for your nova

but i have had a chance to get home from carlisle myself and unpacked,found that the gentleman that sold me the original nos spiral F&R shocks for mine gave me his busniness card with all his contact info

if you send me your e-mail address i can forward the info to you

have a great day

Re: Nova front and rear shocks
 
since i posted the info on the older gentleman selling NOS shocks at carlisle i have recieved several pms
my understanding from this gentleman is hes going out of business and is wanting to sell off all his stock. as mentioned above i did not realize until i got home that he had given me his business card with all his contact information
i feel it is very important for us to all share information on a level platform so everyone has a chance at the items

the following is his contact info
