Sam and Bill, thanks for the compliments. The car ran great for 1968. Even with the COPO car tuned and headers added, I think it would have had its hands full with the bird. It's hard to tell because automatic cars never seem as strong as a four speed one all things equal. There was a guy around with a '68 4 speed Chevelle that he had a 427 transplanted into. Beat him by about a car length. The weight difference probably made the difference. They were close. Wish I had the car back but after seeing it in September '68 the car just fell off the earth.

You need to picture frame the lace with a red pin stripe, and fuzz the edges in light gold before shooting the red lace. Maybe think about the sail panels running a tapering stripe forward along the edges of the roof too.

I have some pics of one of the super tuned fathom blue Gibb/Harrell Novas done somewhat like that only in cob webs.

Actually, finding good bulk lace is kinda hard anymore. Paisley style was the best.

Schonye, I bought a huge table cloth from a lady on ebay a couple years ago to use for a lace paint project one of these days. It's from the 60's and is a light green color with paisley stuff everywhere. She told me it would look great on my table in a formal room... I wanted to tell her it was gonna look great after I sprayed paint through it onto a Chevy... But I kept that to myself

If no one minds I would like to post some pictures that I may have posted before somewhere but might be fitting in this thread. I really dig this stuff. My friends all spend thier pay checks on Billet while I am looking for extended cross member bolts or a Accel super coil with the early logo or something.... I got weird friends


Anyway, here are a couple of pics before I crash for the night. Embossed logos in MSD boxes are "Boss".... They oooze of day 2



Here are the crossmember bolts a friend gave me (he runs a set on his Nova too)

Oh, I want to throw this in too.... They speak for themselves...





I found these in an old speed shop in kentucky. My black 68 Nova had a set of these in it when I bought it. In addition to these it had Eelco Ball Joint extensions. It really stood up

I saw in my last Summit Racing catalog that they are making a limited production run of the old embossed style MSD box. I also read that MSD will refurb your old style box with new guts but I have not confirmed that myself.

I saw that too, its an anniversary edition and the logo is centered instead of being on the left side. It also reads "40 years of ignition on the front. Having new guts in an old box would be cool though

Lifetime warranty on these limited edition boxes!

My experience with my old 1970's 7A box (not a 7AL) is that it works. All of the old MSD units I've had from the 70's work. There are numerous stories about the 6al boxes failing on people, and I beleive that is why they are using the lifetime warranty spin here. I think the older boxes were built better, at a time when MSD was earning its reputation.

As for the magazine blurb about sending out the old boxes...Well I think MSD as a big advertizer would not have been happy if they promoted the product in a way which would put a negative spin on the current offering.

I bought this a few years ago but have sold it now. I saw them advertised for VW's and American cars somewhere.
