James - my understanding from what others have said on this thread are that the Camaro Gabriel Hi Jackers will NOT fit a Nova. Are your photos off of that black RS Z you have/had? Man, I just love that patina. Those traction bars are the BOMB!

and also if them are traction bars you are buying make sure the leaf spring area will allow these to work i had a nova and the leaf spring perch area was alot different(where the rear end and springs meet)just saying that from experience just depends on the maker of the bars some interchange some dont

The perch area was different bec/ there are major differences betw/ the mono vs. multi leaf setups. If putting traction bars on a mono leaf Nova, it's best to cut an angle into the bracket for the traction bar to fit into. It will never function properly, but, it looks cool!
