Sounds like the same article I remember but don't recall a certain car, only them converting stock units? .

Anyone have anything on the 'Distribulator' 409 Nova or whatever it was called? .

Yep, that's it, Retribution. Being involved with these straight axles cars, I've actually run across several of these Bill Thomas equipped Chevy II's. It's one of the nicer straight axle conversions fror early Novas and he really sold alot of them after the articles in Hot Rod and Popular Hot Rodding.
