Default Re: Project: Hot rodding a 69 Nova

Thanks for all the feedback guys. It's always good to get a little encouragement.

We had a few glitches to work out. The tach, water temp gauge and volt reg didn't work. Today I got the tach and temp gauge fixed. It was just a careless mistake I made, but that issue is behind me now. I'm waiting for a new volt reg to get here, and that should be good to go. Then just a front end alignment, and it's ready to test drive.

I'm very happy with the motor. Excellent throttle response, and it just feels strong, with lots of torque. It should be a blast....can't wait!!

Make sure the voltage regulator is grounded. Been there done that. Missed the wire going from the back of the voltage regulator to the core support.

X2, especially if you used the rubber shock mounts, just take a jumper wire to it and try that.
