In the one pic, the Nova looks to have a VERY NICE paint job. Any other pics showing the paint better?

Vbands are grooved ,slot in them for better seal and alignment . Got the Ecm back , plugged it in , bammo same thing again , burnt up two injector drivers . Spoke with him over the phone , great guy . Going to run it directly to the battery next go around instead of the starter cable . Didnt know these things were so sensitive voltage . So itll be next week , and going to install fresh battery , just so i cover my *** on all sides .And new battery cable ends etc . All i left to do Is drain line for turbo , feed line turbo , tuning it ,

nice. this thing will be a screamer. what battery switch are (were?) you using through the tail light?

and don't let the 64-65 guys con you into believing they're a separate gen from the 62-63... the 68-74 are 3rd gen.
