Need help with 1970 Nova research

nuch_ss396 · #1 01-09-2006, 09:36 AM

Hi everybody,

I'm using a new computer, so I don't have my bookmarks set.
A good friend just bought a 1970 Nova SS L/78 in great
condition. This was a southwest car and needs little body
or interior work. The engine and transmission are gone, so
I am trying to help him piece together the correct
components. What is a good source for that information?

I know that a new Nova site recently opened, can someone
direct me to it? Also, is there a good book on these
Nova's ( sort of like Jerry's Definitive 69 Z/28 & SS 396
Fact Book )?

I'd like to get him started off on the right foot.

Thanks,
Steve

Good luck.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the links to the Nova sites. They were a big
help.

I will be posting some images of the trim tag, build sheet
and window sticker for the L/78 Nova within the next few
days. I just wanted to get back to you all.
