And it’s running!

It’s been a long time since I’ve had some work done on the Nova but I finally got it back up and running. Here is what was done.

  • Electrical drain was traced back to automatic door locks. those have been removed so they will no longer cause the problem.
  • Engine running horribly was traced back to a vacuum leak and the timing. Plug was put in place and engine was tuned.
  • Linkage on carburator was moved to correct position so I now have 100% of the throttle.
  • Bolts tightened up on the transmission pan.

I owe it all to Master Body Works in Leesburg, GA. Buddy was able to figure out all of the problems and get them resolved quickly! These guys rock.

Installed new parts, leaky transmission

I finally installed the parts I mentioned in this post.  So far everything seems to be ok from the install.  My friend, Mike, and I got the parts on and set the timing at 12 degrees advanced.  Tomorrow we will tune the carburetor and then check the transmission for a leak.  Not sure where the leak is coming from but will hopefully find out tomorrow with the car on the lift.
