Jed, don't short change yourself! This is nice than some cars @ MCACN. The fact that you enjoyed the build, did it yourself and you drive it make this Nova something to be damn proud of...

Took the Nova out for an &quot;unofficial&quot; first 5 mile ride today. I'm quite impressed with all of my math. Temp is good, oil pressure is good, sound is great, and she seems to get up and go! Plowman helped with an over the phone alignment last night. She's pretty close. I know the red lines give a bit, but it is better than what it was! Summer here we come!

Hmm? Haven't thought of that. I still need to break her in. I hear that my rear end isn't whining, so that's a good sign! With the right tools, a book and some guidance, anything can happen. I need to readjust the carb and timing. Had a bit of pinging. 89 Octane from Sheetz. Not sure if it's the junk gas or what? I think this Nova should do better than a 13.8 in the quarter mile? Taching about 2200 at 50mph and the oil pressure was at 45psi. Running around 185-190 °F.

Any suggestions?

Thanks pxtx! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
