Keith,
Did you make a new Photobucket album and then move the pics to it?
That may account for the images not showing up ..

Keith I had a 73 nova that would not hook I made spring clamps,good gas shocks in back 70/30 slow rebound in front.
That fixed it.
Have fun

Mike ... I agree... So maybe that test is in order...

There's also the tire issue and that is another big test...

To do this correctly... I need to establish a baseline again then swap in the tires, remove them and use the old tires along with the Cal Trac's...( Comp Eng. Slide a links?? )... then both...

After that I'll put the gears and posi in it and maybe even go back with the same test set...

Re: The Disco Nova LIVES ( now with pictures )

What would be very interesting is a trip back to the track with that being the only change!

Re: The Disco Nova LIVES ( now with pictures )

CalTracs, Mr. Turk.....if I had a leaf-spring suspended vehicle, they'd be on mine post-haste....I can't believe how effective that stuff really is, but it's true!

I miss having a car with a trunk......hatchbacks are just too big a hassle with no real room or security.

Re: The Disco Nova LIVES ( now with pictures )

Gotta tell ya... I've really fallen for this thing...it's simply a Cool as car with a trunk from Hell... freaking thing simply works... Can't wait till I feel comfortable enough to drive it to the track and back...

Re: The Disco Nova LIVES ( now with pictures )

Mike, ya took the words out of my mouth:

CalTracs leaf springs+CalTracs bars= Plant that rear and yank the skinnies...... ;D...lost count of how many cars were running these out at ORP for the Pinks! All-Out last Chance deal.....noses reaching for the sky.

BTW Keith, I'm eyeballin' a similar-year Disco in blue near me.......may take the plunge myself.

Glad you were finally able to get that thing out to the track, great motivator!

Killer trailer! Someday... ;)
I have a smaller version for my racebikes, couldn't live without it.
With all that tire spin have you considered Cal-Tracs, sounds like you have good power but no "Stick".

Re: The Disco Nova LIVES ( now with pictures )

Did you eyeball the alignment on that alternator.....Holy Crap.

It is way off.

BTW....That trailer looks terrible...You should give it to me ;D ;D ;D
