Just an update. Been taking the time to get the little details right with the car. Had some time to play with some distributor tuning and think that I have it curved in. Since I can do that now. Thanks to bergy and Plowman. I decided to drop my Rev Pol into the car and use the switch and coil. The front end should be buttoned up shortly. Can't wait until the Nova actually has a grill again.

I know I need to get some pictures up, so please bear with me.

Jed

Hey Jed,
Spill the beans. Do you have the wiring and function of the rev pol coil, dizzy, and switch figured out? Lets see some fotos! Thanks

Sam, I think I have figured out what it does? The switch is there to give the coil a full 12 volts. The way that its wired into the ignition circuit would indicate that with the switch in the street position, voltage steps down through the resistor and in the strip position, it bypasses the resistor and goes straight to the coil. Hence the warnings of only having it in the strip position while at the races.

I have realized mounting the coil to the firewall isn't as easy due to the automatic dipstick. That dipstick took my sweet spot!!! I wasn't thinking with my dipstick!

Ladies and gentleman, I am nearing the end of an almost 5yr build and I'm coming down to the wire! Just getting the last few final details for the car. I have not installed tje Rev-Pol switch and coil, the exhaust, front seat (out to be recovered), rear end and traction bars. When I finally take the time to post pics, there will be a lot to look at! I just wish I could post pics on here from my phone!

Oops and the Tow tabs need to go on too! Didn't forget you pxtx!
