We put the last of the cars away yesterday...L78's don't fair well in snow <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif

Anyway, I had just re-installed an &quot;Eric prepped 850 Holley&quot; back on top of the 163 intake...added a set of Accel wires and took it our for a spin. The snowflakes are starting as I type this...so we won't be seeing this car out again until spring.

Sam...those covers don't work with the stock bolts...I don't like those tall gizmos...I just used what I had handy...what bolts would you suggest?

the car is not &quot;in a bag&quot;...but, it is safe and warm for the winter.

use studs with a stainless nut/washer if you do not like the wing jobs. Easy on and off with the gasket and VC too.

Great looking Nova.Nothing beats the sound of an L78 Nova driving by.

I think you will be disappointed with the 850.
