Mocking up a Nova rear sway bar from various parts.
-one NOS sway bar spring perch
-one modded (was NOS) sway bar spring perch. (ran on the mini tubbed Nova for a few years... will rework back to stock configuration)
-several bars all the same
-two different styles of uprights

QUESTION IS;
Which uprights would be correct for 71-72 Nova ??
Lower clam shell straight down or 90 degrees
The 90 degree uprights have a little dog leg offset to them.

All dimensions check out
-center pins 43" (matches the diff)
uprights approx. 25-1/2 centers (matches the body)

Thanks but 75 up is different...wider.

I just need to know what uprights are correct. My dimensions have been verified against the diff and body.

Gary: The 90 degree end uprights are correct for 72-75 Nova. Part numbers are 3998667 and 3998668 , Group 7.242 Same as on my 72 Nova.

Gary, the slight bend at the bottom of uprights is correct for 72 Nova, mine has it.
