    Camaro or Nova front clip?

    I am working on a coupe that has either a camaro or a nova front clip (rear steer), the owner dosn't know. I want to rebuild the front end and don't know what to order parts for, is there a way to tell?
    Thanks guys, oj

        I second that. Part #'s cross-reference.
        Of all the paths you take in life - make sure a few of them are dirt.

            Spidey should or will know. My $.02 says 2nd gen Camaro/75 & up Nova.

              it's rear steer, so as mentioned earlier it's either 67-69 Camaro/firebird, or 68-74 Nova/clones. If it has discs, and they're the normal single piston type, it's probably from a 69 camaro, but could be a 70s nova. If it has the funky early calipers it's probably an early camaro. Drums were very common on Novas, but also on the early Camaros, so that won't tell you much.

              The suspension parts are mostly all the same.

                It's definitely not 2nd gen Camaro by the way the upper control arms are nearly parallel to the frame rails. 2nd gens they are at an angle, improving caster and handling. Rear steer is also a dead give away of 1st gen Camaro and 68-74 Nova.
