I got a '78 Skylark, bench seat, four on the floor M-20, '70 455, stage1 cam, big headers, 2.5 exhaust with quiet turbo muffs, dog dish hub caps, 3.42 8.5 posi. Its even sleeper white with tree sap on it. Had a Olds Omega SX (hatch, buckets & console) I had gathered up an Olds 455 and Olds rallies for...two kids beat the windows out of it...it is slowly dying...have yet to find another one. Disco Nova's rock!
How about posting some pics? I would love to see it.... Ps..What did you use for headers? (brand, Size) What fits and what modifications did you have to do to them?
When I read that, the first thing that came to mind was how so many of them dog tracked at an angle down the road. :laugh:
Been a while since I seen a car dog tracking, they were just ahead of the curve for nascar. That COT dog tracks like a beat up old nova in the hood.
