'70 Nova L78 (nicely documented)

[Schonyenko2]

BB was before the 1st lady Sammy. She got 1 ride in it before I hit the bridge with it. I don't know why it wasn't quicker than it was. I lost races with it, that I won going away with the deuce to the same cars. I never had a chance to tweak it. I'm sure headers, and some M/Ts would have helped.

My friend Rick's 70 L78 Nova was a dog bone stock....ran like low 15's. Add headers, dual point distributor, 4.56 gear and presto, high 12's.

I can vividly remember throwing my " Pancake " intake into the dumpster and putting on a Wiend high rise........Yikes 20/20

Don't feel bad, that is where all the smog junk and dog dish hub caps went too. Just think that was the "IN" think to do in 1969 to about 1974. You better not show up and hang around the speed shops or Hot Shops with that original stuff STILL on your car. You had about a 2 week window to ditch that original non-performance stuff. Jack it up and put some L60's on a set of deep dish Cragars.
