Default Re: Need info on ft end set up on 1967 nova

Hi Joe,
Setting up an early Nova front end can be a challenge as noted with some of the comments. Global West is your best resource for front end replacement parts. They use a special bushing set up that wears like iron. Well worth the investment. I too run the Moroso springs and Comp 90/10 shocks and as Mark said, limiters are illegal in Stock. What are you running for rear leafs? The Cal-Tracs Split- Mono leaf works really well and they definitely help in the weight transfer. I also suggest you tack weld all the bushing in the control arms. These are pressed fit in stamped steel and are not a great set up for holding an alignment in a race application. Also box off the lower arm to help beef it up. After you?re able to make a few passes, try to get some good shots of the car at mid track and have the Front end re-aligned at that ride height. It may look a little weird driving around in the pits, but when going down the track, the front end will set up having the least amount of drag. You can also go the extra mile as Mark noted in re-bending parts to compensate for the great Nova front end geometry, but have someone who really knows what he is doing if you go that route.
Good Luck????..Don

Someone makes a nice coil over shock deal that bolts on, but I'm not sure it's legal, and I'd have to search back to find the manufacturer.....
