I wired the stock horn button to work the line lock on our ‘68 Nova back in 1969.

That car had a built in rev limiter. It would just go flat at 6000 or less with what we had to work with back then...Some cams pulled up a little higher at 6200.....Hydraulic lifters, stock springs, stock rockers. 12.20’s at 114+ was best numbers back in 1970 on 7” tires ! 10-1 compression 350...


The clutch was low tech. Schiefer RevLoc diaphragm clutch, 10-1/2” GM disc 11” 30lb wheel.
I'm honestly amazed after the dyno runs and where the power was, how far this thing will rev, in lower gears it will hit 7500 no problem.
