One question would be how the choke would have been set up? I believe Dave liked to remove auto, or manual choke, and leave it hard fixed in 1 place. looking for any info, to start my knowledge base. thanks

Here's pics as requested...

Hi Jamie, Joe Camuglia here (aka Nova Joe). I met Dave many years ago and was very much in awe of all the cars he had, not to mention the absolute perfect shape they all were in!! They were so nice that I was surprised he would even drive them!! He would always ask me when I was going to sell him my Nova, to which I explained that my son was going to get it when I'm gone. He would then say, "I'll take care of your son", with that little smirk on his face!!

To say I miss him would be a huge understatement. I'm not sure where you're located, but I'm here in South OC, Laguna Hills to be exact. I hope that you'll get the Nova out from time to time and would love to see both of ours side by side some day. Let me know if you might need any hands-on help or advise anytime.

In the meantime, welcome to the site and congrats on owning one very fine Nova!!

P.S. Hey Marty, where have you been my friend?? And thanks for introducing Jamie to all of us!!

Hey Joe! I hope you, the family, and the Nova are doing well. Thanks for welcoming Jamie to the site. I think you may know that after we lost Dave that we closed Lindsley Construction. I went out on my own a few months later with the same clients and subs. We did pretty good thanks to Dave being a great teacher! I closed up shop this past June and bought a house on almost an acre in Kentucky. It came with 4 garage spaces and I just built another 2-car garage for the '37 and whatever else may come along.
