Ignition points in my 1974 Nova SS 350. It was a hatchback Custom Nova. Have fun, looking forward to your video
High energy ignition, also known as H.E.I., is an electronic ignition system designed by the Delco-Remy Division of General Motors. It was used on all GM vehicles, at least in the North American market, from 1975 through the mid-1980s.
My first car was 1968. Nova. Four door. Six. Hit a tree. My. Brother. David. Helped. Puuled. Out. Rad. Frame. Bought. Used. Bumper. And. Hood. Smoked. Bad. Year. Later. We. Put. A six. Out. Of 65 lark. Stamped. GM. Good. Luck
My first car was a 74 nova custom hatchback. Green paint, green interior. 350 with a quadrajet. Miss that car.
Attempted Auto the main thing is your getting the car back on the road !! You could always put a better V8 engine in it later on if you want 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪
Been keepin up with this little project on flatbroke. Watchin this video now. Cool stuff guys. Can’t wait to see her on the road. 👍🏼
Me 2.
I owned a customised '70 Nova around 50 years ago which had a stock 307 motor that would fail to start every time that it rained because of condensation occurring inside the distributor cap. So,each time it rained,I had to remove the distributir cap, wioe it dry, replace it then only being able to start the car,but for the look of the new paint job, the raised white letter tires, tte wide Mickey Thompson tires n the back, the Cragar mags on the front, the deep dish reverse chrome wheels with baby moon hubcaps on the back, the Hi Jacker air shocks and the Laker sidepipes then I just couldnt bear to give up the car 😂 At the same time, I was still too mechanically nieve to work out the issue with the distributor cap condensation problem because the cap was always sealed properly and i could never see a xpcrack in it.
Those 305s atleast the older ones and dont hey me wrong id rather a 307 but they had some kick to them biggest thing is to get that stock cam outta there and deck the heads atleast but prefer to do both block and heads. Even if that is all you can do put the best piston you can afford (domed or atleast a flat top) and a quick bead hone and you will have no problem keeping up with most anything of the era in stock form
Day 2 intro was amazing…
Wow. I have never seen a hatchback nova before. That has to be a rare car. Even though it's in awful condition I guess it's still worth fixing up.
Awesome 1973 Nova at least its going to a great home where it will get T L C ❤
Thanks! It will be a fun project.
I'm here watching 😊
Glad i found this second channel
Thank you and welcome to my channel.
@@attemptedauto thanks
Cool video. Thanks for sharing. I live 1 hour southwest of you. Subscribed.
I had a 69 SS RS I ran a wire straight to the distributor from the fuse box plug it on a male ran fine
Congratulations on keeping it worthy of putting it back in the junkyard
Sorry Bill and I fell short of a SEMA level car on a working mans budget and 5 days. We were worried about what you might have thought of our effort. 🙄 Good news though, I love this car and will keep on working on it until it meets MY standards. Hope you keep watching. Im looking forward to your negative comments! When i get a chance, ill check out your channel for its no doubt awesome content! Cheers!
That's awesome, if not for you it would of never been on the road again. You get the wiring straight and a good powerwash it will be good. I can't believe how solid it is too.
Great job buddy!
I bought a 73 Nova new with a 305 engine. It was a dog with no power.
Awesome channel, more smaller channels with great content.
Thank you!
I would say that Mountain Dew bottle is from Early 80s
Great work, hope to see more of the "Green Disease" in the future.
Attempted Auto Hello , i just Subscribe to your channel , and would like for you to get this Chevrolet Nova Hatchback , back in great shape With a healthy V8 engine powertrain in it , and take care of the needed body work because i love the older GM cars and trucks and the hatchback was a rare option as well 🇺🇸🇺🇸😃😃💪💪💪👍👍👍
I had that exact same car. I loved it until the hatch rotted out.
@CallMeGrandpa87 Hello yes it's a pretty cool car , i just think people back in the day Didn't know about rust proofing the cars and trucks that well , and also the salt that's use on the roads Doesn't help either !!!
@@erictate8986 Mine was in an accident long before I owned it so the hatch never quite lined up correctly and leaked like crazy. The front windshield leaked too so between that and the road salt in NJ, it rotted badly. If I had the money, I'd offer to buy this one because it's in such good shape.
The moss on the seat makes me think that the windshield leaks?
Thats what caused it!
Needs a Complete new wiring harness
It sure does!
Looking for a 4 door Nova 74 front windshield or whole car
How many snakes did you find in there
Oddly, none. Plenty of roaches and other bugs though
Did I see this previously???
Some of my video and flatbroke garage mirror each other. I tried to keep that to a minimum. Thanks for watching
Why a 305
It was cheap and available. Its not the permanent engine, i just needed something to get it home with.
Restore it .
Worse burn out iv ever seen
In my next video, im going to try to see if i can get this horrible 305 to do a proper burnout. I think i mentioned that at the end of this video. Turns out running rich and on 7 cylinders makes an unspectacular burnout... Who knew. Thanks for watching.
Should have edited out all the BS. The meat of the video was good. Hard to watch wit you trying to be comedians.
You're a real ray of sunshine, aren't you?! 🤣
These 2 guys are a great team!!!! We love it!!!!
