Questions re: "Grump's" 66 Nova - Page 4

Hello all,
I'm building a replica 1/24 scale Nova after Bill Jenkins car. I was only 13 yrs. old at that time and can't recall if Stock Eliminator cars were required to have an exhaust system still "hung" on the car. Do any of you long time racers remember the 1966 rules?
And now the tough ones:
Were "cool cans" aka Moroso cool cans in vogue in 1966? and did Bill use one on the Nova?
Did he use an aftermarket coil instead of the stock coil?
I'm trying to make this car as close as I can to the actual.
Thanks in advance for all the help provided.
Walt
